Interface Module
NOTE: When routing harnesses or cables, ensure they are secured away from sharp
edges and moving parts by the use of cable ties.
5. Access the AUX port on the back of the radio. Connect the red and white colored
AUX audio connectors into the red and white colored receptacle on the radio. If the
factory AUX port already has something connected, it must be disconnected.
6. Connect the +12V, GND and REM wire leads to their proper sources.
7. Connect the harness to the Power connector on the interface module.
8. Connect the iPod cable to the interface module and carefully route it to the location
where the iPod will be mounted (such as the glove box or center console). If an
additional audio device will also be used (mp3, DVD player, etc.) connect its audio
cable to the 1/8" mini-jack.
9. Verify that all connections have been properly made.

10. Reinstall the radio and reconnect the vehicle battery. Turn the ignition on, connect
the iPod and test the unit. Follow the proceedure in step 11 'Gain Adjustment' before
reinstalling the panels/trim.
NOTE: If an additional audio device is connected through the 1/8"mini-jack, it will become
active when the iPod is disconnected.
11. Gain Adjustment – The potentiometers located on the interface unit are used to
adjust the gain settings for the iPod and AUX jack to properly match the radio's input
level. We recommend setting the Interface Module output level to match the factory
CD or AM/FM station's sound level.
NOTE: Use a small phillips head screw driver or a plastic pot adjuster tool to adjust the
potentiometers.
