1.When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the vehicle’s battery be disconnected from the electrical system before performing the installation.
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 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 24-Pin and 16-Pin harnesses from the back of the radio. Disconnect the antenna from the radio.
4.When connecting the Satellite Radio tuner (SCC1 sold separartely), make the folllowing connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. Plug the black end of the 3 foot PXAMGSR cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) into the second port (closest to the dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. Connect the gray end of this cable into the Satellite Radio tuner.
5.When connecting the auxiliary cable, plug the 8 pin mini-din into the port farthest from the dipswitches. Carefully run the auxiliary cable to the location where the auxiliary device will be stored. If you are using the RCA input it may be necessary to run the auxiliary device’s output cable to the PXAMG location.
6.Plug in the male connectors on the PGHFD1 harness into the 24-pin port and 16- pin port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 24-pin and 16-pin harness (if present) into the female connectors on the PGHFD1 harness. Be sure to make a firm connection but do not force it. If you are using the PGHFD1A harness, the 4 pin plug on this harness will connect to the 4-Pin plug on the PGHFD1 harness. The
12pin plug on this harness will replace the current 12-pin harness connected to the
LCD screen mounted above the radio. Disconnect the factory 12-Pin harness and do not reconnect. Plug the 12-Pin connector of the PGHFD1A harness into the LCD display. Again make a firm connection, but do not force. Plug the black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the PGHFD1 harness into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.
