With the installation of the device damage can occur!
If possible have the device installed by a qualified technician.
If you want to install the device yourself, for safe and flawless operation of the device follow the instructions for connection and installation.
Connection
IMPORTANT
The use of incorrect connections can lead to damage to the device.
For installation use the device's ISO connections. The vehicle specific ISO adapter that you may possibly require can be obtained from a specialist establishment, from a local dealer or from the store's technical department. When using other connection types the warranty becomes void!
Configuration of the ISO connections
The view of the plug connector is from behind.
| ISO A (power supply configuration) | Configuration | |
| 1 | unconfigured | |
| 2 | unconfigured | |
| 3 | unconfigured | |
| 4 | Permanent positive 12 V (Tc. 30) | |
| 5 | Antenna power | |
| 6 | unconfigured | |
| 7 | Ignition circuit positive 12 V (Tc. 15) | |
| 8 | Negtative (-) chassis (Tc. 31) | |
| ISO B (spea-ker connection configuration) | Configuration | |
| 1 | Rear right + | |
| 2 | Rear right - | |
| 3 | Front right + | |
| 4 | Front right - | |
| 5 | Front left + | |
| 6 | Front left - | |
| 7 | Rear left + | |
| 8 | Rear left - | |
To connect the device to two speakers use only the cables for the front speakers.
NOTICE
Make sure that a permanent positive connection is applied to the station memory of connection 4 in the ISO block A.
In some automobile models the standard configuration of the connections [4] and [7] in ISO block A are interchanged at the factory. If this is the case the station memory can be lost. To correct this, the connections 7 (Ignition positive) and 4 (Permanent positive) in the ISO Block A must be swapped.
- You can connect an external amplifier to the audio cinch output. For this follow the operating instructions for the external amplifier.
Antenna power connection
IMPORTANT
Possible damage to the device!
- Never attach the antenna power connection with the antenna's motor power cable.
The connection for the antenna power is available for a relay controlled antenna. The relay then automatically extends the antenna when the device is switched on. When switched off the antenna retracts. This connection can also be used to control an external amplifier. For exact connection information please consult the amplifier's operating instructions.
Connection of an external amplifier
For the connection of an external amplifier use the audio cinch output LINE OUT 40. For this follow the operating instructions for the external amplifier.
Connection of an external subwoofer
For the connection of an external subwoofer use the yellow cinch connector SUBWOOFER 38. For this follow the operating instructions for the external subwoofer.
Connecting the microphone unit
For connection of the microphone unit use the microphone unit socket 39.
