3.2 Rear Panel Connections

The rear of the radio unit features multiple connectors. While not all may be used, key connections include:

• Radio Antenna: Connects to the vehicle's radio antenna.
• 4G LTE Signal Antenna: Screws onto the designated port for 4G SIM card signal.
• GPS Antenna: Screws onto the designated port for GPS signal.

• Main Power Cord: Connects to the vehicle's power harness.
• CANbus Connector: Essential for vehicle communication.
• Air Conditioning Connector: Connects to the vehicle's AC system.

When removing the factory radio, ensure to keep the original air conditioning control box connected to its original connectors. This box is crucial for the new unit's climate control functionality.

3.3 Hazard Button Functionality

After connecting the air conditioning box, verify that the hazard button on the new unit functions correctly. If it does not, recheck the connection of the AC panel connector. There are often identical connectors, so ensure the correct one is used.

3.4 Additional Cables and Connections

• External Microphone: A 3.5mm jack is provided for an external microphone if the built-in microphone is not sufficient.
• Subwoofer RCA: For subwoofer signal output.
• Amp Control Wire: A blue wire labeled 'Amp Control' is typically not needed for factory connections.
• AUX AV IN RCA Female: For connecting external video sources.

• Factory Backup Camera: Connects to the female RCA labeled 'CCD AV IN'. If using an aftermarket camera, plug its RCA into this port.
