INSTALLATION
REMOVAL WORK AND PREPARATION
-
Remove both storage compartments in accordance with the manufacturer‘ s information.
-
Cut off the left and right plastic holders for the storage compartments as fl ush as possible.
-
Use a suitable saw to do this, and then a fi le to remove any protrusions still present.
INSTALLATION -
Remove the two original Torx screws at the top (T25).
-
Insert the two-part mounting frame (No. 3) at an angle from above into the radio slot.
-
Screw down the mounting frame at the top and bottom with the four Phillips screws (No. 4) supplied with the XZENT system kit.
-
Fit the GPS antenna (No. 14) at a suitable place, and make sure that the GPS reception is not adversely affected due to shadowing by metallic vehicle parts (thermal glazing etc.). Next run the connecting cable to the radio slot.
-
If you wish to use it, now fit the external Bluetooth microphone (No. 9) supplied, and run the connecting cable to the radio slot. Depending on preference and your choice of an external or device-internal microphone, the microphone source for the Bluetooth mode must be correspondingly changed in the device menu.
-
Run the USB extension cable (No. 17) from the radio slot to the position you want.
OPTIONAL -
If your Car is equipped with a resistor based multifunction steering wheel you have to connect the enclosed SWC-adapter (No. 12) with the Main connection cable (No. 11) and the 20-pin connector on the vehicle side.
-
Connect the main cable (No. 11) of the XZENT system (No. 1) to the ISO plug connectors of the vehicle. When using a reversing camera system, the reversing signal from the vehicle must be connected to the reverse connection of the XZENT system for automatic switching. Relay the handbrake signal from the handbrake and connect it to „Parking“ to enable videos playback function with stationary vehicle.
ATTENTION
Playback of videos while driving is not permitted by law. For this reason the video playback function is blocked while the vehicle is moving / driving. -
Connect all the cables to the XZENT system (No. 1): those previously run in the radio slot, and the original antenna cable. If necessary, use the ISO DIN antenna adapter (No.13) included in the kit. Next slide the XZENT system carefully into the radio slot until it is heard to engage.
NOTE
- Make sure that all connectors at the rear of the unit have sufficient room and are not bent.
- For vehicles with an original FIAT active antenna, it is necessary to ensure a power supply for the antenna. Pay particular attention that the plug connectors of the P.ANT lead of the main connection cable (No. 11) are connected together.
- Connectors without a retaining mechanism must also be secured with insulating tape
COMMISSIONING
Make sure that the vehicle is outside, and that the GPS reception is not
adversely affected by any shadowing (trees, high buildings etc.). Insert the
separately purchased navigation software SD card supplied into the SD card
slot of the XZENT system, and start it in order to establish a sat fix. Make
sure that the vehicle is not moved until the sat fix is established. Now press
the NAV button to start the navigation mode, and choose map view. Once your
present location can be seen in the map view the sat fix will be automatically
established. This can take 3 to 5 minutes. You can now use the XZENT system.
Finally carry out a general functional test, and make the basic settings. Also
ensure that no fault warnings appear on the vehicle side.
