Installation Guide - iPod Adapter / Car Kits

Installing your Dension iPod Car Kit is straightforward and is slightly different depending on the kit you have ordered for you particular vehicle. Have a read through the options below and if you don't really want to install yourself, at the bottom of the page you'll find details of finding a professional installer in your area. Many customers prefer to leave it to someone with the experience to ensure a successful installation first time.

*Full Installation Instructions and User Manual are supplied with all Dension iPod ice>Link Plus versions. Average installation time by our customers is between 15 and 60 minutes enabling any basic DIYer to install this product comfortably giving you endless hours of music in under an hour.

Mounting the Active Cradle:
If you have selected an option that includes the Active Cradle as opposed to the Dock Cable then you will need a mounting Bracket to position the cradle on your dash providing easy access of your iPod.

We recommend mounting the Active Cradle using the supplied screws with the addition of a Dashmount Mounting Bracket or Brodit Mounting Bracket ensuring a neat, safe and professional installation.

Dashmount Brackets are Vehicle Specific Damage-Free Mounting Brackets and they are made for your particular car make and model ensuring a perfect fit. They install in minutes without any drilling and protect your dash providing a quick, easy and secure installation giving an integrated look with your car dash and interior. Detailed easy installation instructions are included with each bracket.

To view click the Dashmount Bracket or Brodit Mounting Bracket links or the links on the product menu to left of website.

If your vehicle is not listed select the Universal bracket option as these are compatible with any vehicle. Universal brackets have an arm that simply slides into position at one side of your radio. Choose between 10mm, 30mm & 45mm arm lengths depending whether your radio is flush with your dash or recessed. A flush radio would use a 10mm Bracket and a radio recessed deep in the dash would use a 45mm bracket.

See an example of the mounting brackets in position.

Alternatively look in your local Yellow Pages under the (Car Electrics & Car Audio) categories or visit Yell.com to find an installer in your area. If you would like to have the installation carried out at your home or workplace, look for a mobile installer in the advert or ask when you call them if they offer this service. You'll be surprised, that you find it's cheaper for someone to call to you and install it than to leave it at some fancy garage.

How do you remove the stock radio from an '06 Ford Explorer?

I just recently bought an iPod adapter for my '06 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition. I need to pull out the stock 6 CD changer radio so I can plug in the adapter and set it into the back of it. Does anyone how to get the radio out without tearing up the car?

the trim around the radio just pops off. youll need either a panel removal tool or a wide flat screw driver might work. put a strip of tape around the tool to help avoid scratches, start from the top and pry it out. then four 7mm bolts hold the radio in.
