5. Installation
1. 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 10mm 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 connectors where you
will connect the Media GateWay harness.
3. Disconnect the factory 12-Pin harness (if present) from the back of the radio. If
you are installing the Media GateWay into a vehicle with an external CD Changer
and you are using CD Changer emulation mode, the CD Changer will have to be
disconnected at the changer location for proper operation.
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the rst port on the Media GateWay
(farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 11 foot iPod cable behind
the dash to the location where the iPod will be mounted or stored (for example the
glove box or center console). 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 Media GateWay if an additional auxiliary input is desired.
Steps 6, 7 & 8 apply to Satellite Radio Emulation Mode ONLY
6. If connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely), make the folllowing
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehichle. Plug the 3 foot HD
Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) cable into the second port (closest to
the dipswitches) on the Media GateWay. Connect the other end of this cable into
the HD Radio tuner. Connect the factory antenna cable into the antenna
connection on the HD Radio tuner (HDRT).
NOTICE:
After removing the radio, if there are two antenna leads connected into the
back of the radio, your vehicle is equipped with a diversity antenna system.
When connecting the HDRT follow the steps on the next page to ensure the
best performance of the HD Radio Tuner. If you do not feel comfortable making
these connections you will need to purchase the PGHTYHD harness (sold
separately).
