may vary based on the vehicle, and customer’s preference. 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. If connecting the HD Radio tuner (HDRT sold separately) Plug the 3
foot HD Radio cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) into the second port
(closest to the dipswitches) on the Neo Gateway. Connect the other end
of this cable into the HD Radio tuner. Connect the factory WHITE antenna
cable into the antenna connection on the HD Radio tuner (HDRT). For
best performance of the HDRT use an amplied antenna adaptor to
make this connection. We recommend the use of a Best Kits BAADIN22
or equivalent. If the Tan connector is connected into the HDRT it will not
receive any AM reception.
6. Plug the male connector on the VW1 harness into the port on the back
of the radio. Next, connect the factory harness into the female connector
on the VW1 harness. Be sure to make a rm connection but do not force
it. Plug the black micro-t 24-pin connector on the VW1 harness into the
Gateway Neo Gateway box.
7. To complete the installation secure the Neo Gateway (Gateway) and
HD Radio tuner (HDRT) into the cavity behind the dash. 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, or electrical tape, or other fasteners to mount the
interfaces to the factory wiring or installed audio components (for example
under the factory Satellite tuner (if present).
8. 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 Neo Gateway and HD Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory
dash panels.
9. When rst powering up the vehicle with the radio reconnected, “CODE”
may appear on the screen. This is a safety feature of the VW radio. If you
see this message, DO NOT enter a code, simply let the radio sit on this
screen for about 10 seconds, then turn the vehicle off. Disconnect the
gateway harness from the vehicle. Reconnect the gateway harness to the
vehicle. Normal operation should resume.
10. NOTE: The rst time that you access the Gateway, your radio may
display “DEV INIT” while the device is initializing. If this is displayed,
please wait one minute the cycle the ignition off and on. Access “SAT”
mode again to begin normal gateway operation.
