have one place to go ,
so it is very straightforward

GPS RECEIVER (if being used) should be mounted in the open somewhere (Dash,
Windscreen, Top Visor etc) If using the supplied microphone, route the wire
through the steering column to behind the radio, then connect the black mic
jack to the black mic plug on the RCA bundle in the kit. The mic itself should

Once the unit is all working, the first thing to do is setup the CANBUS box.
This controls your steering controls, climate
controls (if applicable) and factory reverse camera.

our harness. Then, look for a tiny white 8 pin
plug coming off our harness, and make sure this is connected to the back of
the unit via the matching 8 pin socket.

australia, then click “save” in
the top right corner.
