If you do not feel comfortable making these connections, we suggest you seek professional installation. We recommend that the iPod be disconnected from the interface when the vehicle is not in use.PROPER MOUNTING LOCATIONSecurely install the interface in a location free from; heat, humidity, moving parts, sharp metal edges or direct sunlight.

When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the vehicle’s battery be disconnected from the electrical system before performing the installation.Please Note: If the radio is equipped with a built in CD Changer, please remove ALL discs before proceeding to prevent damage to the radio’s CD mechanism.2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 7mm bolts that secure the radio into the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of the vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio harness where you will plug in the CONNECT® harness.3. Disconnect the factory 16-Pin harness and 14-Pin harness from the back of the radio.4. Connect the included USB cable into the USB port on the CONNECT®. Carefully run the USB cable behind the dash to the location where it can be easily accessed. This location will vary based on the vehicle, and the customer’s prefrence. When running this cable through the dash be sure to secure it away from moving parts or sharp metal edges that may damage the cable. 5. Connect the 8-Pin auxiliary input cable to the second port (closest to the dipswitches) on the Connect if an additional auxiliary input is desired.6. If connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely) or Satellite Radio tuner (sold separartely), these devices MUST be connected before plugging in the 24 pin connector. Please refer to the manual included with each part for proper installation.7. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHGM1 harness into the 16-pin port and 14-pin port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 16-pin and 14-pin harness into the female connectors on the PGHGM1 harness. Be sure to make a rm connection but do not force it. Plug the Black micro-t 24-pin connector on the PGHGM1 harness into the CONNECT® box.8. To complete the installation secure the CONNECT® and any other modules into the cavity in the dash behind the radio. Be sure that the cables and interface modules are not near moving parts or sharp metal edges as they may damage the cables. To prevent rattling noises inside the dash, use zip ties, tape, or other fasteners to mount the interfaces securely.9. With all connections made, reconnect the vehicle’s battery, insert the key into the ignition, and turn the vehicle on. Check for proper operation of the CONNECT® before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
