wiring installation requires special technical skills and experience. If you do not feel comfortable doing the installation please consult with your local car audio shop or installation professional for instructions or assistance if necessary. Carefully remove the factory Stereo and Display out of the dash cavity with proper tools.
Connect supplied video display cable GVMF to the factory display Locate BLUE display port on rear of the car stereo display. If the port is empty, plug in supplied video display cable (GVMF) into the port and leave female portion of the cable with nothing attached. If there is the cable plugged in, disconnect factory display cable (typically blue in color).
Connect VLine Interface cable to the Factory Headunit Locate 59-pin and 16-pin connectors at the back of the stereo, as shown on the illustration below. Unplug what is connected and plug in supplied Power Audio Interface cable (MFCLEX789) into both 59-pin and 16-pin on the back of the stereo.
Routing the GPS Antenna The GPS Antenna module is magnetic and supplied with double-sided tape. You can mount it to the top of the dashboard, so there are no metal parts that obstruct the signal. We recommend mounting it inside the vehicle on the passenger side of the dashboard, as shown below.
Using factory microphone VLine will use factory microphone for its operation. Connect 3.5mm male connector from Power Interface Cable (MFCLEX789) to the microphone port of VLine (see p. 9 for reference). There are no any additional steps needed to connect or operate VLine with the vehicle factory microphone.
Mounting the VLine Module Mount the VLine main module in an easily accessible location, such as the glove compartment, for easy access to the USB ports and to upgrade firmware on the VLine module. Do not leave the unit inside the dashboard, as it can damage the unit and its Bluetooth antenna and affect the Bluetooth / Wifi reception.
