The Ford KA fascia's are somewhat awkward to fit, this is what you do. To ensure a solid fit you have to use the included black plastic clip that comes with the fascia, this runs along the runner inside of the radio aperture. This is the equivalent of the original Ford clip that is built onto the rear of the Ford radio. The radio will not fit right if you don't use this.

First of all, mount the radio cage inside of the fascia, but do not install it in the radio aperture yet. Now on the back of the radio, attach the black clip mentioned above using a self tapper screw (actually screwed into the back of the radio where the hole is provided) Leave the black clip somewhat loose. If it is too long, use washers to pack it out.

Now, slide the radio half way into the cage and then straighten the black clip ready for it to mount on the runner in the radio aperture. Compare this clip to the clip on the Ford radio to get an idea of it's position. Tighten the screw/clip but not too much. This is important so that when installing the radio it can manoeuver on the runner to fit correctly. This screw will not come loose.

Next, attach the wiring to the rear of the radio and locate the clip onto the runner inside the radio aperture. You can use some installation tape to hold the aerial in position on the rear of the radio. Run this from the top to bottom of the radio, covering the aerial connector.

To finish off, push the fascia into position flush with the dash, then slide the radio into position and lock it into the cage.

Now test the radio for correct operation.
