Installation

1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that

the vehicle’sbattery 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 bolts that secure the

radio into the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio

from the dashof the vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio

connectors where youwill connect the vehicle specific harness.

3. Disconnect the factory harness (if present) from the back of the radio. If

you are installing the PXAUX into a Toyota or Honda 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 auxiliary input cables to the ports on the PXAUX

5. Plug in the male connectors on the vehicle specific harness into the port

on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory harness (if present)

into the female connector on the vehicle specific harness. Be sure to

make a firm connection but do not force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin

connector on the vehicle specific harness into the PXAUX.

6. To complete the installation secure the PXAUX 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.

7. 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

PXAUX before reinstalling the factory dash panels.

8. Note: The first time you access the PXAUX, your radio may display “DEV

INIT” while the device is initializing. If this is displayed, please wait one

minute then cycle the ignition off and on. Then access PXAUX mode

again to begin normal operation.
