Metra Electronics XIAH-FD2 Introduction, Port Overview, Powering UP the XIA Unit, Radio Operation

INTRODUCTION

The Ford OEM Radios vary in what buttons they have. This manual covers as many buttons as possible.The Radio connected to the XiA Unit, most likely, will not have all the buttons listed in this document. However, the definitions of the buttons displayed on the radio will still be valid.

PORT OVERVIEW

1)This port is used with the optonal XIA-LCD display.

2)This port is used with the XM cable XIAH-XMC or the AUX IN cable XIAH-RCA.

3)This port is used with the iPOD cable XIAH-IPC or the AUX IN cable XIAH-RCA.

XIA CABLE HARNESS PREPARATION

Various Cable Harnesses have been developed for the Ford Application that pro- vides the capability of having the XiA emulate either an OEM CD Changer or OEM Satellite Receiver depending on the vehicle model and year.

In vehicles that are not equipped for Satellite Receiver operation, the XiA Adapter must be arranged for CD Changer emulation. This is accomplished by removing a jumper wire in the Cable Harness. Looking at the Cable Harness, locate the white 20-pin connector (J1, 2x10) and the jumper wire (White) between J1 Pins 7 and

17.Cut this jumper wire, and store it away with insulating tape. Once this is done, the board will emulate an OEM external CD Changer.

If the XiA Adapter unit is working with a radio that supports ACP protocol and is Satellite ready, no modification to the cable harness is required.

POWERING UP THE XIA UNIT

When the unit is first connected to the car battery, the installer must cycle the radio “on” & “off” at least 3 times, pausing each time for about 6 seconds. This is required for the unit to synchronize with the external equipment such as iPod and XM Tuner.

RADIO OPERATION

To use the iPod or the XM Receiver after installing the XiA Adapter, turn the radio “on” and push the “Tape,” “CD,” or “Mode” button. The iPod or XM Receiver---

depending on which is connected---begins to play through the radio speaker sys- tem. Once this is done, use the arrow keys to advance to the next track (or sta- tion) or to the previous track (or station). The next section describes the button operations when listening to either iPod or Satellite Radio.

LCD DISPLAY UNIT

The LCD Display Unit (XIA-LCD) connects to the XiA Adapter Unit to provide visual display information from iPod or Satellite Receiver---the active device at the moment. This unit is particularly important in XiA applications where the OEM Radio does not have a digital display to show the information obtained from the active device.
