INSTALLATION

Attention
 For models with a 8-inch screen, update the interface via the Axxess Updater available at axxessinterfaces.com. Select “8-inch screen” once prompted to. Instructions to update the interface are available at the end of this instruction booklet.
With the key in the off position:

1. Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the 6520 harness, into the interface.

2. Connect the factory “White” 4-pin harness removed in step 4 of Dash Disassembly to the “Black” connector from the interface.
   Note: The display screen will not function without this connection.

3. Connect the 6520 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle.

4. Locate the factory antenna connector in the dash and complete all necessary connections to the radio. Metra recommends using the proper mating adapter from Metra.

Note: If an AXXESS steering wheel control interface (sold separately) will be used, do not connect it until the interface is programmed and fully functional.

PROGRAMMING
