Installation

WARNING
Damage can be caused when installing the device!
▶ If possible, have the device installed by a qualified technician.
▶ If you wish to install the device yourself, follow the instructions for connection and installation for safe, fault-free use of the device. Incorrect installation can cause a fi re hazard!
Connection
CAUTION
Using incorrect connections can cause damage to the device.
For installation, use the device's ISO connections. The vehicle-specific ISO adapters you may require can be sourced from a specialist workshop, from a local dealer or from a general store's technical department. Using other connector types voids the warranty.
Assignment of the ISO connections
The view of the plug connector is from behind.

| 4 Front right - | ||
| 5 Front left + | ||
| 6 Front left - | ||
| 7 Rear left + | ||
| 8 Rear left - |
To connect the device to two speakers, only use the cables for the front speakers.
NOTE
▶ Ensure that a steady plus connection is applied to the station memory of connector 4 in ISO Block A.
In some vehicle models, the default assignment of connectors [4] and [7] in ISO Block A are interchanged at the factory. If this is the case, the station memory can be lost. To remedy this, connectors 7 (Ignition positive) and 4 (Steady plus) in ISO Block A must be swapped.
Antenna control voltage connection
CAUTION
Possible damage to the device
▶ Never load the antenna control voltage with the motor power cable or other power consumers.
The connector for the antenna control voltage is available for a relay-controlled antenna. The relay then automatically extends the antenna out when the device is switched on. When switched off, the antenna retracts back in. This connector can also be used to control an external amplifier. For exact connector information, please consult the operating instructions for the amplifier.
Connection of an external amplifier
Use the LINE OUT 27 audio cinch output to connect an external amplifier. To do this, following the operating instructions for the external amplifier.
Connection of an external subwoofer
Use the orange SUBW 26 cinch output to connect an external subwoofer. To do this, follow the operating instructions for the external subwoofer.
