Note: If this method is chosen, the backup camera option must be enabled in the Settings screen.

- Disregard the Yellow RCA jack labeled "AUX video", it will not be used in this application.

INSTALLATIONPROGRAMM

ATTENTION: It is highly advisable to read the following steps beforehand, to ensure a clear understanding of what is to be expected. The following steps must be done in the order that they are numbered.

With the vehicle completely off:

1. Locate the factory antenna connector in the dash and complete all necessary connections to the radio. Use the antenna adapter provided to adapt the factory antenna connector to the aftermarket radio.
2. Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads into port "B" in the touchscreen display.
3. Connect the 4-pin harness with Yellow RCA jacks into port "C" of the touchscreen display.
4. Connect the hazard harness (LD-CHRYHAZ2) into port "D" of the touchscreen display, and then to the designated factory 8-pin in the vehicle.

Note: Be sure to plug in the 8-pin connector from the climate control. Plugging the wrong 2-pin connector to port "E" will jam the CANBUS.

1. Connect the 2-pin connector labeled A into port "E".
2. Port "F" is an update port for future firmware upgrades.

A C B F D E

Note: For 2018-2021 models only, Connect the 2-pin connector labeled A into port "E"

G

1. Connect the 6536 harness to the wiring harnesses in the vehicle. Then insert the 6536 harness into port "A" in the touchscreen display.
   Note: This is a timed process.
2. Press the push-to-start button to start the vehicle.
3. Program the Axxess interface built into the touchscreen display:

a. Once the touchscreen display loads up, select the vehicle type.

b. Wait until the radio comes on, and the touchscreen display shows SWC Configured. This process may take up to (3) minutes.

Note: If the touchscreen display does not load up, or the radio doesn't come on within (3) minutes, and/or the touchscreen display does not show SWC Configured, turn the vehicle off and disconnect the 6536 harnesses from port "A" in the touchscreen display. Check all the connections, reconnect the harness into the touchscreen display, and then try again.

1. Cycle the key off, then back on. If the driver's door is closed, open and close the door.
2. Refer to the Settings page within the Touchscreen Display Operation section. Ensure that all factory features have been selected properly according to the options available for the vehicle.
3. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash. Note: The clock and compass in the driver's information center will no longer be functional.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

1. Mount the completed radio/climate control assembly in the dash using the screws supplied with the factory radio.
2. Snap the radio trim panel with touchscreen display over the completed assembly, and then reassemble the dash in reverse order of disassembly.
