KIT ASSEMBLY – PRELIMINARY
FOR SINGLE DIN INSTALLATION
Push the DIN cage into the top opening of the fascia panel and bend the
locking tabs down to secure it in place. For ISO installation, use the two (2)
ISO brackets included in the kit and secure them to the right and left sides
of the stereo using the screws supplied with the stereo
Push the pocket into the bottom opening of the fascia panel (Fig. C)
Push the single DIN stereo into the cage until it clips into place
FOR DOUBLE DIN INSTALLATION
Cut and remove the central bar from the fascia panel
Snap the two square plastic brackets to the inside edges of the fascia panel
(Fig. D).
Push the double DIN head unit into the fascia and bracket assembly and use a
screwdriver to fix it into place using the screws supplied with the stereo
PREPARING THE PATCH LEAD
To correctly configure the interface for installation, the included patch lead
(CTMULTILEAD.2) must be set according to the below information, in relation to
the type of aftermarket stereo being installed in the vehicle.
See the diagram below for examples of which loops to cut and which connector
type to use for all main brands of aftermarket stereo
INSTALLING THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL INTERFACE
The steering wheel control functions of the original vehicle – which are lost
during removal of the factory system – can be retained through the correct
installation of the interface included in this kit. Please read these
instructions carefully to ensure that your system will work well following the
installation. 
Connect the 12 Pin black connector of the stereo patch lead to the
interface.
Connect the opposite end of the patch lead to the steering wheel control input
on the back of the new stereo.
NB: This may be a 3.5mm jack plug or a wire input depending upon the stereo
brand being fitted. Please see the stereo installation manual for further
information on where to connect.
IMPORTANT
This step must be completed before connecting power to the interface. Failure
to so do may result in no steering wheel control function.
Connect the 14 Pin black connector of the main wiring loom to the
interface
Connect the male power/speaker ISO harness to the female power/speaker ISO
harness from the new stereo. For new stereos without an ISO connector and for
connecting optional inputs, please refer to “Wiring Colour Codes”
below.
Next, connect the vehicle’s ISO antenna connection to the antenna adapter, and
push the antenna adapter into the DIN connector on the back of the new stereo
(Fig. E).
