PRECAUTIONS: Please read before you start the installation.

• Please study these instructions carefully before installing AXXESS.i plug and play wiring harness.
• Many new vehicles use low-voltage or data-bus systems that can be damaged by test lights and logic probes. Test all circuits with a digital multi-meter before making connections.
• Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio, unless you have the radio code.
• If installing an external push button switch, check with the customer about where to install the switch.
• To avoid accidental battery drainage turn off the interior lights or remove the dome light fuse.
• Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.
• Use of this product in a manner different to its intended way of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
• Set Parking brake.
• Remove the negative battery cable.
• Protect fenders before starting.
• Using protective blankets to cover front seats, interior of the vehicle and center console.
• Always install a fuse 6-12 inches away from AXXESS.i interface, 5 amp fuse should be used.
• Always secure AXXESS.i interface with Velcro or double side tape to prevent rattling of the interface.
• When securing AXXESS.i interface make sure that panels can be closed back easily.
• Use electrical tape on all you connections and splices, do not leave any exposed connections.
• Route all wires along factory harnesses, try not to drill or make any unnecessary holes.
• Make sure you are not connecting to any data wires; always check your connections with a multi-meter.
• Always use help of a professional installer to prevent any damage to the vehicle or AXXESS.i interface.

WIRING CONNECTIONS

• Before making your connections, plan entire wire routing inside the vehicle prior to staring the installation.
• There are few acceptable ways of making a wire connections:

Solder connections, strip and tape connections and crimp connectors. When soldering connection be careful not drop solder on interior dash panels. When doing strip and tape wiring method, best way is to strip insulation off a wire, make a hole in a wire and route a wire thru a hole and then use tape to insulate. When using crimp connectors make sure not to crimp to insulation as this may cause wire to break.

• Low quality electrical tape is not a reliable insulator. It often falls off in hot weather, always use high quality electrical tape.
• Never twist and tape wires together without soldering.
• Never use fuse taps as they can damage fuse box terminals.
• If you use wire-tap connectors such as T-Taps, avoid using them. These connectors are inferior in quality and should be avoided.
• For help locating accessory, ground and reverse wires please see table.1 on page 3
• If vehicle is equipped with factory RSE (rear seat entertainment) system and customer would like to display factory installed RSE system on the front navigation screen, it is possible to get it done. Simply tap in to the factory video signal with the RCA wire and connect that RCA wire to video 1 input of an AXXESS.i AXi-RGB1/AXi-RGB2/AXi-RGB3 video interface. For help locating RSE system video signal see table.2 on page 3.

RSE-DVD is usually built in the headunit in the front, but it is never connected to the front screen.
