INSTALLATION GUIDE

Before installing the interface, the factory stereo must be removed and disconnected. To do this, please consult the vehicle ownerʼs manual/handbook or contact a fitting professional.
A stereo connection (patch) lead is also required for the installation of this interface (supplied separately). Please ensure that you have the correct lead before proceeding. For universal patch leads, prepare the wiring loops in accordance with the instruction manual supplied with the product before installation.

1. Connect the 12 pin connector from the stereo connection (patch) lead to the interface box

2. Connect the opposite end of the stereo connection (patch) lead to the steering wheel control input on the back of the aftermarket stereo
   NOTE: This may be a 3.5mm jack connector or a wired input depending on the brand of aftermarket stereo being fitted. Please consult the aftermarket stereo installation manual for further information on where to make the connection
   !IMPORTANT: THIS STEP MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE CONNECTING POWER TO THE INTERFACE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A LACK OF FUNCTIONALITY AND THE NEED TO REINSTALL THE PRODUCT

3. Connect the 14 pin connector from the supplied wiring loom to the interface box

4. Connect the power/speaker ISO connector (16 pins) from the interface to the power/speaker ISO connector from the aftermarket stereo.
   NOTE: For aftermarket stereos that do not have an ISO connector, please see “Wiring Key” on Pg.2 for information on which wires to connect. Some interfaces may also have additional ʻflyingʼ wires which can be connected to the vehicle to support various features ie. parking brake trigger, reverse gear, and speed pulse. Details of these can be found under ʻAdditional Connectionsʼ.

5. Connect the 24 pins and 54 pin vehicle-specific connectors on the supplied harness to the corresponding connectors from the vehicle

6. Make additional connections to retain the OEM reversing camera (yellow RCA), AUX input (red/white RCA), and USB input (USB retention harness) if the vehicle is equipped.

7. Test stereo and steering wheel control functionality for correct operation before reassembling the vehicle dashboard. If steering wheel control functions are unresponsive, please uninstall the interface and wiring and reinstall carefully in accordance with the above steps.
