Connects2 can not be held responsible for the installation of this product.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Before installing the interface, the factory stereo must be removed and disconnected. To do this, please consult the vehicle owner’s manual/handbook or contact a fitting professional.
A stereo connection (patch) lead is also required for the installation of this interface (supplied seperately). Please ensure that you have the correct lead before proceeding. For universal patch leads, prepare the wiring loops in accordance with the instruction manual supplied with the product before installation.

  1. Connect the 12 Pin connector from the stereo connection (patch) lead to the interface box

  2. Connect the opposite end of the stereo connection (patch) lead to the steering wheel control input on the back of the aftermarket stereo
    NOTE: This may be a 3.5mm jack connector or a wired input depending on the brand of aftermarket stereo being fitted. Please consult the aftermarket stereo installation manual for further information on where to make the connection
    IMPORTANT: THIS STEP MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE CONNECTING POWER TO THE INTERFACE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A LACK OF FUNCTIONALITY AND THE NEED TO REINSTALL THE PRODUCT.

  3. Connect the 20 Pin connector from the supplied wiring loom to the interface box

  4. Connect the power/speaker ISO connector to the power/speaker ISO connector at the rear of the aftermarket stereo
    NOTE : For aftermarket stereos which do not have an ISO connector, please see “Wiring Key” on Pg.2 for information on which wires to connect. Some interfaces may also have additional ‘flying’ wires which can be connected to the vehicle to support various features ie. parking brake trigger, reverse gear and speed pulse. Details of these can be found under ‘Additional Connections’.

  5. Connect the additional wiring / 2-pin 360 button controller/ Yellow RCA connections to the aftermarket stereo’s wiring harness where required.

  6. Disconnect the connector behind the vehicles rear view mirror and connect to the male connector on the harness. Then proceed to connect the new male connector on the harness to the original connection.

  7. Connect the vehicle specific power connector on the supplied harness to the OEM connector from the vehicle

  8. Test stereo and steering wheel control functionality for correct operation before reassembling the vehicle dashboard. If steering wheel control functions are unresponsive, please uninstall the interface and wiring and reinstall carefully in accordance with the above steps
