INSTALLING THE SOURCE UNIT (Non-Ride Command-Equipped)
Reassemble part of the front dash around the dash pocket area. Utilize the reverse method of how you
removed the center section of the dash pocket. This will allow the source unit mount to be to be installed in
place so the harness can be finished and connected in the proper location. Final fitting and reassembly of all
panels is the last step of the installation after testing the system.
STEP 1 – RUN CONNECTIONS TO SOURCE UNIT AREA
Run the (2) RCA audio cables from the amplifier location into the area where the source unit will be installed.
Be sure to observe left and right channels at the amplifier. Make note of which connects to the two-channel
amplifier and which connects to the mono amplifier.
Next, if not already done, run the source unit connectors to the area where the source unit will be installed.

Depending on the style of remote turn-on present on your source unit, follow Figure 17-1b for the
connection. Figure 17-1c shows the connections to the source unit in the dash.
NOTE – As you raise the completed source unit to the dash area, ensure you retained and installed the
metal clip described in the previous section.
STEP 3 – SECURE THE SOURCE UNIT
Push the dash assembly into place until you feel
and hear a snap as the entire assembly seats
into place. The finished look should cosmetically
resemble Figure 17-2.
Powering up the system and initial testing will be in
a subsequent step.
STEP 2 – MAKE SOURCE UNIT CONNECTIONS
With the harness routed through the vehicle and everything
connected to the amplifier(s), the next step will be to
make the final source unit electrical and RCA audio cable
connections in the dash as shown in
Figure 17-1a. Raise the completed source
unit mount to the dash area. Connect the
electrical (Delphi-style) connector. Connect
Mono
Amp the front RCA preamp level outputs to the
two-channel amplifier. Connect the rear RCA
Two-
preamp level outputs to the mono amplifier.
