INSTALLATION GUIDE

Before installing the interface, the factory stereo must be removed and disconnected. To do this, please consult the vehicle owner’s manual/handbook or contact a fitting professional.

A stereo connection (patch) lead is also required for the installation of this interface (supplied seperately). 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 to the power/speaker ISO connector at the rear of aftermarket stereo
   Note: For aftermarket stereos which 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 ‘flying’ wires which can be connected to the vehicle to support various features i.e. parking brake trigger, reverse gear and speed pulse. Details of these can be found under ‘Additional Connections’.

5. Connect additional flying wires from the main wiring harness to the head unit as required
   Note: the Reverse Gear wire must be connected for the interface to function correctly.

6. Connect 4 Pin camera extension harness to the interface box

7. Connect the aftermarket reverse camera connector to the female Yellow RCA connector (optional)

8. Connect the male Yellow RCA from the camera extension harness to the reverse camera input of the aftermarket head unit.

9. The OEM button panel on the lower part of the OEM fascia plate needs to be retained behind the dashboard. Start by undoing (5x) screws holding the screen on top (Fig. A). When unscrewed, re-connect the  button panel (Fig. B) to the vehicled 8-pin connector (Fig. C). This needs to be stowed away behind the dashboard.
   Note: please see Fig A – C on Page 6 under heading “OEM Button Panel Retention”.

10. Connect the Quadlock connector on the supplied harness to the OEM connector from the vehicle

11. 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.
