Connections to be made
From the 14-pin harness to the aftermarket radio:
- Tape off and disregard the Red wire, it will not be used in this application.
- Connect the Blue/White wire to the amp turn on wire (this wire must be connected to hear sound from the factory amplifier).
- Tape off and disregard the Brown wire, it will not be used in this application.
- Connect the White RCA to the left front output.
- Connect the Gray RCA to the right front output.
- Connect the Green RCA to the left rear output.
- Connect the Purple RCA to the right rear output.
Note: If the radio does not have RCA outputs, or only one pair, use a line level convertor (sold separately). Use Axxess part number AXLOC4-80A (4 channel) or AXLOC-80A (2 channel) for best results.
The following wires are for aftermarket multimedia/navigation radios that provide these wires (if not required, tape them off and disregard them):
- Connect the Light Green wire to the parking brake wire.
- Connect the Blue/Pink wire to the speed sense/VSS wire.
- Connect the Green/Purple wire to the reverse wire.
Note: Reverse wire is not available on manual transmission vehicles. Note: To retain these wires, please follow the steps under: From the 2-pin harness to the vehicle.
- Plug the 14-pin harness into the AXTO-MI1.
From the AXTO-MI1 harness:
(a) to the vehicle:
Connect the Black wire with a fork connector to chassis ground.
(b) to the aftermarket radio:
- Connect the Black wire to the ground wire.
- Connect the Yellow wire to the battery wire.
- Connect the Red wire to the accessory wire.
- Connect the Blue wire to the power antenna turn-on wire.
- Connect the Orange wire to the Illumination wire (if the aftermarket radio has no Illumination wire, tape off the Orange wire).
- Connect the White wire to the left front positive speaker output.
- Connect the White/Black wire to the left front negative speaker output.
- Connect the Gray wire to the right front positive speaker output.
- Connect the Gray/Black wire to the right front negative speaker output.

- Connect the 16-pin and 22-pin harness into the vehicle.
Connections to be made
From the 2-pin harness to the vehicle:
If the radio you are installing has navigation built in, the AXTO-MI1 can supply the necessary navigation outputs with some additional wiring. Follow the steps below to connect these wires to the vehicle:
- Locate the OBD2 connector which is located beneath the driver’s side dash panel close to the center console and run the Pink and Blue/Pink wires down to it.
- Connect the Pink wire to pin-6 of the OBD2 connector.
- Connect the Blue/Pink wire to pin-14 of the OBD2 connector.
- Initialize the interface by turning the ignition on for 30 seconds, then turn the ignition back off, and on again.
- If the subwoofer, or front door woofers are too loud, or not loud enough, you can adjust the output by following the steps below:
1) Locate the end of the AXTO-MI1 with the 14-pin harness with stripped leads and RCA jacks.
2) Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, turn the gain knob clockwise to make it louder, or counterclockwise to make it lower.
