Installation Guide - Sony NW-HD Adapter/Car Kits

Sony NW-HD 1, 3, 5 & MD Walkman Adapter Installation: Sony NW-HD adapter installation is generally far easier than you would expect. Average installation time by our customers is between 15 to 60 minutes. Any basic “DIYer” can install this product comfortably. Sony Radios: When installing with a Sony car radio, the NW-HD lead simply connects to the CD changer socket found at the rear of your radio by push-fit connection. The NW-HD can mount on your dash using the cradle (if selected) if you use the included plate and screws. You can place it in your glove box using the dock cable. Factory Installed Radios: When installing the car kit with a factory-installed car radio, the NW-HD lead simply connects to the CD changer socket found at the rear of your radio by push-fit connection via the included CD adapter. The NW-HD can mount on your dash using the cradle (if selected -- and the included plate and screws). You can also place it in your glove box using the dock cable. Mounting the Passive Cradle: To protect their car from drill holes, many customers choose to use vehicle-specific Dashmount Brackets or Brodit Mounting Brackets for installation flexibility, when using the Passive Cradles. You can also go for these brackets as they give you a damage-free mounting. They don’t leave scars on your dashboard since no drilling is required. Recommended Professional Installation Service: If like a number of our clients, you would prefer an installation professional to help, I highly recommend you ask a car audio shop for the best car audio installers in your area. They should know. In fact, most times, they have installers that handle their customers’ audio installation needs. Alternatively, look in your local Yellow Pages (Car Electrics & Car Audio) categories. Go to this site: car-audio-products-and-accessories.com and read the installation articles. They cover much on car audio installation. They will help you do a better job of your car audio installation. However, if you choose to use the pros, go here for a professional installer if you re in the UK. Chimezirim Odimba writes for CarAudioPlus.
