IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
- In some Lexus/Toyota vehicles 2006 and older, the mute circuit is located in the same pin location as the amplifier turn-on on the OEM harness. If no audio is heard after the installation is complete, disconnect the BLUE/WHITE wire on the SOHTL-20 t-harness from the aftermarket radio AMP Turn-on wire. Insulate with tape to avoid short circuits.
- To retain the factory AUXILIARY INPUT option in the vehicle, the aftermarket radio must have an "Auxiliary Audio Input" feature. Please check your aftermarket radio manual for details.
INSTALLATION DIAGRAM:

GAIN ADJUSTMENTS:
Use the gain adjustment to level match the aftermarket radio audio output with the OE amplifier input. We recommend starting at 0 dB, turn the aftermarket radio on and set the volume to 50%. Adjust the DIP switches until you hear clipping or sound distortion. Once distortion is heard, lower down the dB gain one or two steps.
| DIP SETTING dB Volts | ||
| OFF OFF OFF | 0 dB | |
| OFF OFF ON | 1.7 dB | +7mV |
| OFF ON OFF | 3.5 dB | +9mV |
| OFF ON ON | 5.2 dB | +10mV |
| ON OFF OFF | 7.2 dB | +15mV |
