Installation

Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! If according to factory rules disconnecting the battery has to be avoided, it is usually sufficient to put the vehicle in sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not show success, disconnect the battery with a resistor lead.
Place of installation of the ARC-U004 set is usually in the radio slot on the vehicle’s radio port. Depending on the vehicle, connect the SWC 1 (white/black), SCW 2 (blue/red), SWC 3 (brown), SWC 4 (grey) and SWC GROUND (black ø0.5) wires to the original radio plug as described below. Connect the open red wire “+ 12V ACC” to ignition and the open black wire “POWER GROUND” (ø0,8) to vehicle ground.

Vehicle-specific assignments
