You can put the main unit box in the glove box or inside the dashboard. Then connect the GPS and WiFi antenna, USB cable, microphone. Finally, you can connect the female plug from the Android head unit with the male CD plug, connect the male plug from the new power adapter cable with the female plug which was disconnected from the OEM radio.
