Yellow Wire - Connect to 12 Volt Constant Power on aftermarket radio•

Red Wire - Connect to Accessory on aftermarket radio•

Black Wire - Connect to Ground on aftermarket radio•

Orange/White Wire - Connect to Dimmer on aftermarket radio

- *11 Pin Harness - Connect to PAC's SWI-X, SWI-JACK, SWI-PS or SWI-ECL2 (Sold Separately)

Red Bullet Connector - Connect to Accessory

Black Bullet Connector - Connect to Ground

- Connect the 4 RCA connectors to the RCA outputs of the aftermarket radio

Front Left - White RCA Front Right - Grey RCA

Rear Left - Green RCA Rear Right - Purple RCA

If connecting the TATO to a head unit with only 2 Channel RCA outputs, use two pairs of RCA splitters (1M-2F) to split the signal. Failure to connect all 4 inputs of the TATO will result in loss of audio performance. Fade audio controls will only function with a 4 channel aftermarket deck.

Connections to the TATO Interface:

• Connect 24-pin translucent connector to the side of the TATO.
• Connect 8-pin DIN cable to the plug on the side of the TATO.
