ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

The UNI-CHIME interface allows you to retain a vehicles original parking tones on when upgrading to an aftermarket stereo. This product is to be used with select PSA, BMW and Land Rover vehicles.

When upgrading the original audio system, certain features, like parking tones, can become lost via the CAN system. But with the application of the UNI-CHIME, this information can be re-interpreted and retained.

Please note, this product should be used when safety tones (reverse sensor audio, seat belt/car door open chimes) would not be retained when upgrading to an aftermarket stereo. This product needs to be used in addition with a separate ISO harness or steering wheel control interface – should you wish to retain those features.

Connect the 2-pin molex connector from the UNI-CHIME harness and attach this to the provided chime box. Once this is connected, along with the wiring, connect the head unit to the power source.
When powered on correctly the LED will flash red. This means that the interface has begun coding and is processing the vehicle. Once coding is finished, the LED will light constant green. Test the UNI-CHIME by opening a door or putting the vehicle into reverse. You should now hear the chimes coming through the UNI-CHIME box.
Once tested, proceed to reassemble the dashboard.

If you encounter any problems during the installation of the UNI-CHIME, please contact our technical department with the full details of your issue at: support.connects2.com/tickets/technical
