5. Installation

1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the vehicle’s

battery be disconnected from the electrical system before performing the installation.

2. Carefully remove the trim panels in the passenger side of the trunk to access the

XM Satellite Radio tuner. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors

where you will connect the Media Gateway harness.

3. Disconnect the factory 20-Pin harness from the Satellite Radio tuner.

4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the rst port on the Media Gateway

(farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 20 foot iPod cable to the location

where the iPod will be mounted or stored (for example the glove box or center

console). This location will vary based on the vehicle, and the customer’s prefrence.

When running this cable through the vehicle be sure to secure it away from moving

parts or sharp metal edges that may damage the cable.

5. If connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely), make the folllowing

connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehichle. Plug the 3 foot HD

Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) into the second port (closest to the

dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. Connect the other end of this cable into the HD

Radio tuner. Connect the factory antenna cable into the antenna connection on the

HD Radio tuner (HDRT).

6. Plug the male connector on the PGHHD2C harness into the 20-pin port on the

XM Satellite Radio tuner. Next, connect the factory 20-pin harness into the female

connector on the PGHHD2C harness. Be sure to make a rm connection but do not

force it. Plug the Black micro-t 24-pin connector on the PGHHD2C harness into the

PXAMG Media Gateway box.

7. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio

tuner (HDRT if equipped) into the cavity with the XM Satellite Radio tuner. Be sure that

the cables and interface modules are not near moving parts or sharp metal edges as

they may damage the cables. To prevent rattling noises inside the trunk, use zip ties,

tape, or other fasteners to mount the interfaces securely.

8. With all connections made, reconnect the vehicle’s battery, insert the key into the

ignition, and turn the vehicle on. Check for proper operation of the Media Gateway and

HD Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.

9. Note: The rst time you access the Gateway, your radio may display “DEV INIT”

while the device is initializing. If this is displayed, please wait one minute then cycle the

ignition off and on. Then access SAT mode again to begin normal gateway operation.
