Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper functionality and safety.

2.3. Installation Steps

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle's battery before beginning installation. Remove the original car stereo and trim panels carefully.
2. Wiring Connections: Connect the main power harness, RCA cables, GPS antenna, USB cables, and microphone to the corresponding ports on the new head unit. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. CANbus Decoder: Connect the appropriate CANbus decoder box to the vehicle's wiring harness. If multiple CANbus boxes are provided, identify and use the one that fits your vehicle's system (e.g., 'SimpleSoft' or 'Hiworld').
4. JBL Stereo System (Specific Note): If your Smart Fortwo is equipped with a JBL stereo system and you experience no audio after installation, locate the pink wire from the car's harness. This wire needs to be manually spliced into the 'AMP CONTD' wire coming from the new stereo's harness to activate the amplifier.
5. Steering Wheel Controls: Ensure the steering wheel control wires are correctly connected. In some cases, a specific part of the harness may need to be looped back into itself for the controls to function. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the unit or contact support if issues persist.
6. Test Fit: Before fully securing the unit, connect the battery and perform a brief functional test to ensure the unit powers on, audio works, and basic functions are operational.
7. Secure Unit: Carefully install the head unit into the dashboard opening and reattach all trim panels.
