Setup and Installation
Installation of the Acc-SAT-TO2 adapters requires access to the factory antenna connections behind your vehicle's radio. Professional installation is recommended.
- Prepare the Vehicle: Disconnect the vehicle's battery. Carefully remove the factory radio to access the antenna connections.
- Identify Factory Antennas: Locate the factory satellite radio and GPS antenna connectors. In many Toyota vehicles, the satellite radio antenna connector is typically black, and the GPS antenna connector is white.
- Connect Adapters:
- Connect the appropriate Acc-SAT-TO2 adapter to the factory satellite radio antenna connector.
- Connect the other Acc-SAT-TO2 adapter to the factory GPS antenna connector.
- Connect to Aftermarket Receiver: Plug the other end of the Acc-SAT-TO2 adapters into the corresponding satellite radio and GPS inputs on your aftermarket head unit. Refer to your aftermarket receiver's installation manual for specific port locations.
- Test and Reassemble: Before fully reassembling the dashboard, reconnect the vehicle's battery and test the satellite radio and GPS functionality with your new receiver. Ensure proper signal acquisition for both services. Once confirmed, carefully reassemble the dashboard components.

Operating Instructions
The Maestro Acc-SAT-TO2 adapters are passive components that enable the connection between your vehicle's factory antennas and your aftermarket receiver. Once correctly installed, their operation is seamless and integrated with your aftermarket head unit. Functionality of satellite radio and GPS will be controlled directly through your aftermarket receiver's interface and software.
- Ensure your aftermarket receiver is properly configured for satellite radio and GPS input.
- Activate your satellite radio subscription if applicable.
- Refer to your aftermarket receiver's user manual for specific instructions on accessing and utilizing satellite radio and GPS features.
Maintenance
The Acc-SAT-TO2 adapters are designed for a "set and forget" installation. No regular maintenance is required for the adapters themselves. Ensure that all connections remain secure during any subsequent work on your vehicle's audio system.
- Keep the area around the connections free from moisture and excessive dust.
- Avoid pulling or straining the cables once installed.
