ABSTRACT:
A pair of parallel support members extend behind and perpendicularly to the dashboard of an automotive vehicle at the sides of the opening of the dashboard. Guide devices are provided on the sides of the unit housing of audio equipment and on the support members in cooperative engagement for slidably mounting the unit housing behind the dashboard. The dashboard has a hole formed therethrough in close proximity with the opening therethrough. A slot is formed through the top or bottom of the unit housing equidistant from the sides thereof intermediate the front and back of the unit housing. A pin is secured in the unit housing in operative proximity with the slot and is accessible via the slot. The pin and the slot are mutually perpendicular. A key-operated lock is mounted in the hole through the dashboard. A securing arm is rotatably affixed to the lock behind the dashboard and is rotatable by a key in the lock to an unlocked position in which the arm is in spaced relation with, and at a distance from, the unit housing and the slot and pin of the unit housing whereby the audio equipment unit is freely removable from the dashboard, and to a locked position at an angle with the unlocked position in which the arm extends through the slot and is hooked to the pin and locked in position whereby the arm obstructs movement of the unit housing through the opening of the dashboard so that the unit is secured behind the dashboard.
