INSTALLATION OPTIONS I N STALL AT

Adding a sub to a factory system:

This feature offers the ability to add a subwoofer to a factory system, whether amplified or non-amplified. (refer to page 3)

Adding a full-range amp & sub to a factory system:

This feature offers the ability to add a full-range amp and sub to a factory system, whether amplified or non-amplified. (refer to page 4)

† The factory amp must be bypassed/unplugged.

Note: The interface provides a 12-volt 1-amp output to turn on aftermarket amp(s). If installing multiple amps, an SPDT automotive relay will be required if the amp turn-on current of all amps combined exceeds 1-amp. Use Metra part number E-123 (sold separately) for best results.

N

  1. Remove the factory radio , then unplug all connectors.
  2. Install the AX-DSPX-TY3 vehicle T-harness to the vehicle and make all necessary connections, but leave the amp turn-on wire disconnected.
  3. Plug the AX-DSPX-TY3 vehicle T-harness to the AX-DSPX-TY3 interface.
  4. Plug the AX-DSPX-TY3 interface harness to the AX-DSPX-TY3 interface.
  5. Download and install the AXDSP-X app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
  6. Open the app then select the Bluetooth Connection tab. Follow the instructions to pair the mobile device to the interface. Refer to page 6 for more information.
  7. Scroll to the Configuration tab then select the vehicle type. Press the Lock Down button to save the configuration. Refer to page 7 for more information.
  8. Connect the amp turn-on wire.
  9. Adjust the settings in the app as desired. Press the Lock Down + button to save any new configurations.
    ^† Refer to Metra online for dash disassembly. If Metra makes a dash kit for the vehicle, disassembly will be within those instructions.
    Anytime the interface is locked down the key must be cycled off then back on

Clipping Level Off On Level: 5 Soft Demo Hard The AX-DSP can detect clipping of the audio signals and reduce the level for a period of time to prevent damage to the speakers. Amp Turn On Turn On Delay: 6 0 Seconds 10 Signal Sense Always On The AMP ON line can be turned on whenever accessory power is on, or only when a signal is detected from the radio. Subwoofer Input Front + Rear Subwoofer The Subwoofer output can be driven from the sum of the Front and Rear inputs, or it can be from the Subwoofer input only.

  • Chime Volume - Not applicable in this application.
  • Clipping Level - Use this feature to protect sensitive speakers like tweeters from being driven past their capabilities. If the output signal of the interface clips the audio will be reduced by 20dB. Turning down the stereo will allow the audio to come back at a normal level. The sensitivity of this feature can be adjusted to the listening preference of the user.

- Amp Turn On

  • Signal Sense - Will turn the amp(s) on when an audio signal is detected, and keep on for 10 seconds after the last signal. This ensures the amp(s) won't shut off between tracks.
  • Always On - Will keep the amp(s) on as long as the ignition is cycled on.
  • Turn on Delay - Can be used to delay audio output to avoid turn-on pops.
