5. Installation

1.When making electrical connections we always recommended discon- necting the vehicle’s battery from the electrical system before performing the installation.

2.Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 7mm 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 harness and 12-Pin harness from the back of the radio (if present). Disconnect the antenna from the radio.

4.Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the first port on the Media

Gateway (farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 11 foot iPod cable behind the dash to the location where the iPod will be mounted or stored (for example the glove box or center console). This location will vary based on the vehicle, and the customer’s prefrence. 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), make the following connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. 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 Media Gateway. Connect the other end of this cable into the HD Radio tuner. Connect the fac- tory antenna cable into the antenna connection on the HD Radio tuner (HDRT) Using a BestKits BAA5 antenna adaptor or eqivilalent if needed to make this connection.

6.Locate the 24-pin and 12-pin male connectors on the PGHGM3 har- ness, plug these connectors into the back of the radio. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the PGHGM3 harness into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.
