Overview
ISO 7736:1984 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the installation space dimensions and electrical connection requirements for car radios designed for front panel mounting in road vehicles. This standard provides essential guidelines to ensure consistent fitting, reliable electrical interfacing, and safe installation of car radios, whether standalone or combined with other audio equipment such as tape players.
The standard primarily focuses on the physical and electrical criteria necessary for front installation, including recommended dimensions, fixing methods, and installation best practices. It also includes a suggested rear fixing approach when additional mounting support is necessary.
Key Topics
Installation Space Dimensions
ISO 7736 defines precise size requirements for the front installation cavity in vehicles to accommodate car radios. This includes width, height, and depth specifications, ensuring device compatibility across various manufacturers.Electrical Connections
The standard outlines the spatial allowance for electrical connectors, ensuring standardization in power supply, antenna input, and accessory interfaces, which facilitates easier wiring and maintenance.Fixing Methods
- Front Fixing: Primary fixation method defined by the standard, utilizing front panel mounting spaces as illustrated by dimensioned figures.
- Rear Fixing: An optional supplementary fixing recommended in certain cases that involves attachment in a stippled rear area with specific port details.
Installation Recommendations
The standard advises practical installation guidelines to improve usability and safety:- Driver Accessibility: The car radio should be positioned so that it is easily visible and reachable from the driver’s seat.
- Mounting Angle: Installation angle should ideally not exceed 45° downward slope for optimal operation and readability.
- Ventilation and Heat Avoidance: Ensures sufficient space for cooling to prevent overheating, especially avoiding proximity to vehicle heating systems.
- Safety: All mounting apertures should be smooth and free of sharp edges to prevent injury during installation.
Combining Fixings
The standard allows for a combination of front and lateral fixing solutions, providing flexibility in vehicle design and installation approaches.
Applications
ISO 7736:1984 is essential for automotive manufacturers, car audio equipment designers, and aftermarket installers. It supports:
- Vehicle Manufacturing: Enables standardization of dashboard compartments to universally accept car radios conforming to the defined size and connection layout.
- Car Radio Design: Provides manufacturers guidelines to design radios that fit standardized installation spaces, promoting interoperability and ease of installation.
- Aftermarket Installation: Assists technicians in proper positioning and secure mounting of car radios, minimizing modification or adaptations.
- Safety and Ergonomics: Ensures safe handling and enhances driver convenience by recommending accessible placement and avoiding interference with vehicle heating.
Related Standards
- ISO/TC 22 - Road Vehicles: The technical committee responsible for the development of standards related to automotive components and systems, including audio equipment interfaces.
- DIN 75490: A later referenced standard influencing car radio mounting dimensions that builds on ISO 7736 dimensions to align with evolving automotive requirements.
- Automotive Electrical Connector Standards: Standards governing compatible electrical interfaces for automotive accessories ensuring conformity with ISO 7736 connection guidelines.
Implementing ISO 7736:1984 helps unify car radio mounting practices worldwide, promoting industry consistency, improved safety, and enhanced consumer experience in automotive audio systems. The standard remains a foundational reference for vehicle and audio device manufacturers focused on front installation car radios.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of developing International
Standards is carried out through IS0 technical committees. Every member body
interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been authorized has the
right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the IS0 Council.
International Standard IS0 7736 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22,
Road vehicles, and was circulated to the member bodies in December 1981.
It has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries :
Austria France Romania
Belgium South Africa, Rep. of
Germany, F. R.
