Digitization of Euro 4006 Europorte from SudExpress

Unboxing




Opening

As mentioned in the manual, there are no screws. Just pull gently on the sides and the chassis will come down fairly easily. The only thing to pay attention is that there are 2 tiny connectors for the head lights that need to be disconnect to fully separate the body from the chassis.



Installing

A small bag is provided in the box with the components required for the speaker.

Configuring

Testing
