STEP 1 / DISASSEMBLY
Remove all factory dash and vehicle panels necessary for installation. You will need to remove all panels necessary to access the inside of the dash, battery location and factory wiring channel between dash and battery. Refer to the installation manual included with your vehicle-specific front speaker pods for more information on your specific vehicle. 

STEP 2 / SUBWOOFER INSTALLATION
If installing a CORE 2+ or CORE 4+ kit with a vehicle-specific powered subwoofer, install the subwoofer first. If you do not have a subwoofer included in your kit, skip to STEP 4.
Follow the mounting instructions included with your vehicle-specific subwoofer and tighten all fasteners securely.
Run the RCAs and blue wire from subwoofer amp to center of dash location and secure with zip ties.
The large main power harness will run down the factory wiring. Chase directly to the battery and secure to factory harnesses with the included zip ties.
Make battery connections: Red to battery (+) terminal / Black to battery (–) terminal.
If desired, mount wired level control in a pocket or under a dash panel and plug into 3.5mm input on powered subwoofer. STEP 3 / REAR SPEAKER PODS
If installing a CORE 4 or CORE 4+ system with rear speaker pods, install the rear speakers next. If not, skip to Step 4.
Mount the MXA62PS rear speaker pods to the roll cage in the rear of the vehicle using the clamp hardware included with the speakers. Certain models include a vehicle- pecific rear mounting bracket. If a vehicle-specific rear mounting bracket is included with your model, use that bracket instead of the hardware that comes with the MXA62PS speakers.
Use the included MXASSKITRRHR rear speaker harness to connect rear speakers. Use the end of the harness with individual color-coded 2 pin waterproof connectors and 4 pin RGB connectors and connect 1 to each speaker. Green to the left rear speaker and Purple to the right rear speaker. Run the harness forward down the factory wiring channel to the center dash location and secure with included zip ties. 

STEP 4 / FRONT SPEAKER POD INSTALLATION
Follow the instructions included with your vehicle-specific front speaker pods and secure them accordingly. Run wiring pigtails from each speaker to the center dash location and secure with zip ties.

STEP 5 / POWER HARNESS TO BATTERY
Run the main radio power harness to the battery and connect.
This is the yellow/black power harness included with the MXASSKITMCPWR harness kit.
Use the ring terminals on the harness connector to the battery: Yellow to the battery (+) terminal / Black to battery (-) terminal.
Run another end of the harness to the center of dash location using the factory wiring channel and secure with zip ties.
NOTE: Pull fuse from a yellow wire at battery until installation is complete.

STEP 6 / MOUNTING KNOCK-OUT IN DASH CONTROLLER INCLUDED WITH SMC2A APP RADIO
Mount the included knock-out controller in one of the factory knock-out locations in the dash and run the remainder of the wire to the center dash location and secure any excess with zip ties. This controller is NOT required for the operation of the SMC2A head unit as all functions can be controlled via the app. However, we recommend installing this unit to give you easy access control to basic system functions. STEP 7 / MOUNTING SMC2A HIDE AWAY BLACK BOX SOURCE UNIT
Using the included self-tapping screws, secure the black box to factory framework behind center dash location, making sure all harnesses and pigtails are accessible.

STEP 8 / CONNECTING THE SMC2A BLACK BOX SOURCE UNIT
Plug large white 12-pin main radio harness to the corresponding plug on Black box radio. Then connect the color-coded speaker connectors, RGB connectors, 2-pin power connector and antenna connection. (If installing a Core2+ or Core4+ system with a subwoofer, connect RCAs from the subwoofer to the RCA subwoofer outputs of the Black box and connect the blue wire from the powered subwoofer to the blue wire on main radio harness with the included waterproof connector).
Plug the dash remote connectors into the corresponding connectors on the black box.
Run the red wire and secure to an accessory or ignition source. See wiring instructions included in your product manual.

STEP 9 / POWERING UP AND TESTING
Once all connections are made, and double-checked for accuracy and fitment, put the fuse back in the fuse holder at the battery and secure the waterproof cover.
Turn on the ignition. The unit should power up and you should see the in-dash controller light up.
Follow the instructions in the SMC2A source unit manual included with your kit for operation and testing.
STEP 10 / CLEANING & REASSEMBLY
Once you have tested the unit for functionality and everything is operating correctly, secure any loose wires with zip ties and reassemble the vehicle.
