Installation Guide

Refer to the wiring diagram for detailed connections.

1. Remove and disconnect the factory stereo. Consult the vehicle owner's manual or a professional if needed.
2. Connect the 12-pin connector from the stereo connection (patch) lead to the interface box.
3. Connect the other end of the stereo connection (patch) lead to the steering wheel control input on the back of the aftermarket stereo. This may be a 3.5mm jack or a wired input; consult the aftermarket stereo manual. Important: This step must be completed before connecting power to the interface.
4. Connect the 14-pin connector from the supplied wiring loom and 2-pin speaker wire to the interface box.
5. Connect the power/speaker ISO connector to the corresponding connector on the aftermarket stereo. If the aftermarket stereo lacks an ISO connector, refer to the 'Wiring Key' for manual connections.
6. Connect any additional 'flying' wires (e.g., for parking brake, reverse gear, speed pulse) to the aftermarket head unit's wiring harness as required.
7. Connect the 3.5mm jack connectors to the aftermarket head unit to retain the vehicle's OEM Aux input and Microphone.
8. Connect the Amplifier connector to the vehicle's OEM Amplifier (typically located under the driver's seat).
9. Connect the CAN Data connector to the vehicle's OEM connector.
10. Connect the vehicle-specific power connector on the supplied harness to the vehicle's OEM connector.
11. Test the stereo and steering wheel control functionality before reassembling the dashboard. If controls are unresponsive, uninstall and reinstall the interface following the steps carefully.
