PRECAUTIONS
Disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery cable before making any wire connections. Protect all vehicle surfaces with tape or plastic. Do not install components in any location that will hinder vehicle operation, such as steering wheel, gearshift, air bags, hazard switch. Bundle cables and harnesses with electrical tape or wire ties to prevent them from interfering with moving parts.  Never attempt to disassemble or modify the product. Otherwise, an accident, fire or electric shock may result. Exposed wires must be insulated with electrical tape. Otherwise, a short circuit, fire, or electric shock may result. To prevent damage to the vehicle, confirm the locations of hoses, electrical wiring, and the fuel tank prior to drilling holes to install this product. When it is necessary to replace the fuse, always use a fuse of the correct rating  (number of amperes). Use of fuses with higher amperage ratings may cause a fire.

Wiring & Connections

Parts Needed:
From the HEIGH10 Box:

•  16 Pin Power/Speaker Harness
• 10 Pin Multi Camera Harness
• 6 Pin SWI/IR Harness (If vehicle is equipped with Steering Wheel Controls)
•  Refer to pages 18-20 in the HEIGH10 Installation Guide for harness names and illustrations

From the RP4-CH11 Box:

• Main Harness RP4-CH11-B (Harness RP4-CH11-A will not be used in this application) 4 Pin SWC Connector (If vehicle is equipped with Steering Wheel Controls)

Determine if vehicle is equipped with a factory amplifier.
After vehicle is disassembled, and before making any wire connections, determine if the vehicle has a factory amplifier by comparing the vehicle’s radio plug to the diagrams below. Inside the vehicle, locate the Gray 22 Pin plug that was unplugged from the factory radio. With the locking tab facing up and the wire side facing towards you, compare the vehicle plug to the diagrams below.
If there are 4 wires in pin locations 8-11 and 4 wires in pin locations 19-22, there is no factory amplifier.
Proceed to Step 2:
Wiring Connections Without Factory Amplifier.
If there are 4 wires in pin locations 8-11 and no wires in pin locations 19-22, there is a factory amplifier.
Proceed to Step 3:
Wiring Connections With Factory Amplifier.
Wiring Connections Without a Factory Amplifier.
Following the diagrams below, connect the wires from the HEIGH10 harnesses to the RP4-CH11 harnesses as shown. The majority of the wire connections will match color-for-color. All wire connections should be made regardless if the feature is being used. For example, connect the reverse and amplifier wires even if no camera or amplifier are being installed. This will prevent unconnected wires from possibly shorting out.
Wiring Connections With a Factory Amplifier.
Following the diagrams below, connect the wires from the HEIGH10 harnesses to the RP4-CH11 harnesses as shown. For factory amplified vehicles, the front and rear speaker wires will be swapped. All wire connections should be made regardless if the feature is being used. For example, connect the reverse and amplifier wires even if no camera or amplifier are being installed. This will prevent unconnected wires from possibly shorting out.

Radio & Display Assembly

Parts Needed:
From the HEIGH10 Box: NOTE
 The Display Mounting Clamp is shipped connected to the Plastic Mounting Bracket. To remove the clamp assembly from the plastic mounting bracket push up from the compression spring side (1) and swing out to unhook top (2).
Start by attaching the Metal Bracket to the Radio Module using two M4 X 6 screws. The metal bracket should be flush against the front face of the radio module. Then attach the metal bracket to the Plastic Mounting Bracket using two M4 X 6 screws.Using the lowest set of holes on the back of the display, attach the Clamp Assembly to the display using four M4 X 14 screws. The clamp assembly should be approximately 3.5” from the top edge of the display, and approximately 1/2” from the bottom edge of the display. Ensure the TOP indicator on the Clamp Assembly is facing UP.
Parts Needed: Turn the radio and bracket assembly so the plastic mounting bracket is on top as shown in  From the CDK642 Installation Kit, determine the Right Side  bracket using FIG B below…
Position the right bracket as shown and loosely attach the bracket using two #10 x 3/8 coarse thread screws in the top positions, and two M5 x 10 in the bottom locations shown. Slide the bracket as far forward as the bottom slots will allow, tighten all four screws. Repeat for left side.

GPS Antenna

Parts Needed:
From the HEIGH10 Box:

• GPS Antenna
•  Metal Mounting Plate

Before installing the radio into the vehicle, mount the GPS Antenna and USB hub. The GPS antenna is required for proper operation of Apple Car Play and Android Auto.
2011-2018 Models:
In between the defroster vents and the gauges, there is a plastic mounting area that is used to mount the factory GPS antenna. Clean the area and stick the metal mounting plate. Position the GPS antenna on the plate and route the GPS antenna cable down to the radio opening. Bundle and zip-tie the additional slack.
2011-2018 Models

2007-2010 Models:
On the left, above the radio opening there is a flat mounting area. The metal mounting plate will need to be trimmed to fit the area.
NOTE:
If the mounting plate is not trimmed, it will prohibit the top trim panel from fitting.
Clean the area and stick the metal mounting plate. Position the GPS antenna on the plate and route the GPS antenna cable down to the radio opening. Bundle and zip-tie the additional slack.
2007-2010 Models Parts Needed:

•  SSUSB2 Dual USB Extension

Apple Car Play, Android Auto, and any Firmware Updates require access to a USB ports. The SSUSB2 is designed to extend the USB  ports  on the back of the HEIGH10 to where they are accessible once the radio is installed. For this installation, one of the factory 12V power outlets will be replaced with the SSUSB2. You may chose to follow these steps, or mount the USB port somewhere else in the vehicle. Once the USB ports are mounted, route the cables to the radio opening.

Vehicle Installation

Inside the vehicle, with the complete radio assembly and harnesses, make the following connections. After all connections are complete, all excess wire, plugs, and the RP4 module need to be positioned on the left and right side of the air ducts . The center area directly behind the radio needs to be kept clear so the radio assembly will fit.   With the two display cables routed over the top of the assembly, slide the radio assembly into the dash and align the four mounting tabs on the side brackets. Reinstall the four 7mm screws (1). Before reassembling the vehicle, plug the two display cables into the back of the display and mount the display.
To Mount the Display:

• A – Hook the bottom hook to the bottom rail
• B – Push upward to compress the spring
• C – Hook the upper hooks on the upper rail

NOTE:
The vehicle sub-dash and radio cavity shown is 2011-2018 model year. The steps are the same for 2007-2010, it just looks a little different.
