Important Notes
Accessory Output: The RED Accessory output wire from the CR10SR interface is rated at 10A Max output for most aftermarket head units. Connecting additional +12V switched accessories to this output source is not recommended and may cause damage to the CR10SR module. If 10A output is insufficient, a relay is needed (relay not included).
Illumination Output: This output is data-controlled and designed for head unit connections only.
Dipswitch Settings
- For Sony head units, set both dipswitches to "Down".
- For Pioneer head units, set dipswitch 1 to "Up" and dipswitch 2 to "Down".
