Mounting frame for DIN insert by alan elektronik — compatible with Midland/Albrecht Alan 78/278 Plus Multi

Mounting frame for DIN insert by alan elektronik is a purpose-built panel frame designed to hold and secure Midland/Albrecht Alan 78/278 Plus Multi compatible units. The frame provides a standardized opening and retention for a single-DIN radio or insert, keeping the device level and flush with the mounting surface. It is intended for dashboard or mounting-panel installations where a reliable physical interface and alignment are needed between the radio and surrounding trim.

Advantages

The mounting frame ensures stable fixation and correct centring of the DIN insert, reducing movement and vibration during vehicle operation. Its standardized dimensions simplify installation into existing DIN apertures and allow for neat integration with dashboard or panel surrounds. The frame minimises gaps and offsets, improving access to controls and the overall fit of the unit without requiring custom cutting or extensive modifications.

Suitable for

How to use

Prepare the dashboard or mounting panel by confirming the existing aperture matches single-DIN dimensions. Insert the frame into the panel opening until it sits flush, then slide the compatible radio or DIN insert into the frame from the front until it engages with the frame's retention features. If required, secure the frame to the panel using manufacturer-recommended fasteners or clips; ensure the device is correctly aligned and the front panel is accessible for controls and connections. Recheck fit after any wiring or adjustments and tighten mounting points as needed to prevent movement.

Usage recommendations

Verify the physical dimensions of the radio and panel opening before installation. Use the mounting frame only with devices that follow the single-DIN size standard and are mechanically compatible with the Midland/Albrecht Alan 78/278 Plus Multi form. Inspect mounting clips and fasteners periodically for tightness, especially in vehicle applications where vibration is present.
