Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings and cautions could result in personal injury, damage to the vehicle, or poor product performance. This device must be installed according to these instructions. Disconnect the vehicle’s power supply before beginning to install this product. Before applying power to this product, make sure it has been correctly grounded, following the instructions in the guide. Garminstrongly recommends having an experienced installer with proper knowledge of electrical systems install the device. Incorrectly wiring the power cables can result in damage to the device, the vehicle, or the battery, and can cause bodily injury.

CAUTION
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vehicle. You must read all installation instructions before beginning the installation.

Tools Needed

• Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill
• Drill bit the size varies based on the surface material and screws used
• Crimping pliers
• Wire strippers
• Heat gun
• Tread Audio Box Mounting Considerations.

CAUTION
In high ambient temperatures and after extended use, the device enclosure may reach temperatures deemed dangerous to touch. Therefore, you must install the device in a location where it is not touched during operation.

NOTICE
The storage and operating temperature ranges for this device are listed in the product specifications (page 13). Extended exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device failure. Device damage and related consequences caused by extended exposure to theseconditions are not covered by the warranty.

• You must mount the device in a location with adequate ventilation where it is not exposed to extreme temperatures.

• You should mount the device so that the cables can be connected easily.

• To achieve IP67 water ingress protection and optimal heat sink cooling, you must mount the device on a vertical surface with the connectors pointing downward.

• You can mount the device on a horizontal surface, but such positioning might not achieve IPX67 water ingress protection.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you should install the device at least 203 mm (8 in.) away from a compass.

• Mounting the Tread Audio Box Black Box Device.

• Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting location, and determine what screws and other mounting hardware are needed for
  the surface.

• Place the black box device in the mounting location, and mark the location of the pilot holes

•  Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.

• Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one corner, and examine the other three pilot-hole marks.

• Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the device from the mounting surface.

• Drill the remaining pilot holes.

• Secure the device to the mounting location.

Connections

The stereo must be connected to power, to speakers, and to media input sources to function correctly. You should carefully plan the layout
of the stereo, speakers, and your input sources before making any connections.

NOTICE
If the ignition wire is not used, do not tie the ignition to the positive terminal on the vehicle battery. Ground the ignition wire or leave it disconnected. Failure to ground or disconnect the ignition wire when the ignition is not used could prevent the device from powering on.Remove the terminal cover using a Phillips screwdriver.

Remove the screws from the GND terminal and the +12V terminal. Connect the large ring end of the included ground wire to the negative terminal on the vehicle battery.Connect the small ring end of the ground wire to the GND terminal on the device. Tighten the screw on the GND terminal. You should confirm the screws cannot be loosened by hand.terminal on the device. Tighten the screw on the +12V terminal. You should confirm the screws cannot be loosened by hand.

NOTICE
Do not overtighten the screw on the +12V terminal to prevent damage to the terminal. Connect the large ring end of the 12V cable to the positive
terminal on the vehicle battery. Replace and tighten the terminal cover on the device. Using the Heat-Shrink Crimp Connectors You should use the included heat-shrink crimp connectors to make a water tight connection between the bare wires.

WARNING
Only use the heat gun to apply heat to the heat shrink crimp connectors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use the heat gun near clothing or bare
skin. Doing so can result in property damage or serious injury.

• Using wire strippers, strip 6 mm (1/4 in.) off the end of each bare wire.
• If necessary, twist the strands of each wire clockwise to bundle them together.

one bare wire into one end of the heat-shrink crimp connector. The bare wires are not secure until they are crimped and sealed. Insert the corresponding bare wire into the other end of the heatshrink crimp connector. Using pliers, crimp both sides of the center of the connector to secure the connection. Using a heat gun, apply heat to the heat-shrink crimp connector until the connector is sealed to the wires. Do not apply heat to the wires directly.

Complete System Wiring

This diagram illustrates a system installation with an external amplifier and subwoofer connected to the stereo using a line out.

NOTE
You can also connect speakers to the speaker wires for the internal stereo amplifier while using an external amplifier connected to the line out. Adjusting the volume affects speakers connected to the  internal amplifier and speakers connected to the line out. This may result in uneven volume levels.

Speaker Zones

You can group speakers in one area into speaker zones. This enables you to control the audio level of the each zone individually. Zones 1 and 2 are powered by the on-board amplifier. To use the RCA line output, you must connect an external amplifier. You can set the balance, volume limit, tone, and name for each zone. Single Zone System Wiring Example

Wireless Remote Mounting Considerations

NOTICE

• Selecting the correct mounting location is critical to optimize the performance of the wireless remote.
