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.

Connect the 12 Pin connector from the stereo connection (patch) lead to the interface box
