How to secure new stereo ?

[Medic-one]

So i've got my new head unit fitted and working but it's not secure, it move forward a little bit when you drive, and you can just push it back in.

It came with this little piece of metal with holes in it, but not sure where that goes ?

Can i secure it with that little strip, or do i need something else to hold in it place properly ?

The cage should hold it in place.

Make sure there isn't any trapped wires behind it.
It should just push back and click into place.

Doesn't look like you've bent any of the metal prongs to hold the metal sleeve/cage in place. Judging by the pics anyway.

Looks like this as the cage is coming out of the hole.

I have indeed not bend anything, i assume i was suppost to ? Do they just pull outwards ?

Push 'em out with a screwdriver until the cage doesn't move.

Take the sleeve off the stereo, put it into the cavity, bend the prongs on the bottom downwards, top ones upwards and the side ones outwards until the sleeve is secure, then pull all the cables through re install the heAd unit.

My 2 cents- most motorised units I have fitted use small screws to hold stereo in cage rather than lugs at the side. So you may need a small (precision) screwdriver to remove cage from unit- will be behind rectangular plastic trim on front

I've had this problem installing different head units in to Clios, right ball ache IMO.. Just make sure no wires are trapped behind the head unit.

The one I've got definitely doesn't though.

The only thing I found with after market head units is that some clios need an antenna booster because fm signal seems to be weak
