Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your car stereo. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional. Always disconnect the car battery before beginning any electrical work.
Pre-Installation Considerations:
- Bose Sound System: If your vehicle is equipped with a Bose sound system, an additional fiber box (decoder box) is required for compatibility. Please contact customer support for details.
- Wiring Harness: Ensure the provided wiring harness is compatible with your vehicle's existing connectors. If your car's plug and interface differ from the standard, an alternative power harness may be needed.
- CANBUS Connection: If your wiring does not include a CANBUS, you must transfer the CANBUS from another wiring harness and connect it to the unit. Failure to do so may prevent the device from starting.
- RCA Wires: The 20-PIN interface on the back of the unit is exclusively for connecting RCA wires. Do not connect the 20-PIN main power supply wire to this interface to avoid short circuits.
Installation Steps:
- Carefully remove the original car stereo and dashboard trim.
- Connect the main power harness, RCA cables, USB cables, microphone, and GPS module to the new unit.
- Integrate the steering wheel control wiring as shown in the video tutorial below.
- Secure the new car stereo unit into the dashboard.
- Reconnect the car battery and test all functions before reassembling the dashboard trim.
