Its faceplate carries an IP66 rating, while the body is IPX4 rated. The design also uses conformal-coated circuit boards and is described by KENWOOD as salt-spray, UV, and vibration resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a 77 mm (3-inch) circular mounting hole and adequate rear clearance for the chassis, wiring harness, USB lead, antenna, RCA connections, and optional accessories.
