Installation

Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! The interface needs a permanent

12V source. If according to factory rules disconnecting the battery is to be avoided, it is usually sufficient to put the vehicle is sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not show success, disconnect the battery with a resistor lead.

If power source is not taken directly from the battery, the connection has to be checked for being start-up proven and permanent.

Prior to wire and device installation we suggest to connect and test correct function of all after-market and factory infotainment equipment!

The interface is installed on the backside of the head unit.
