C~ll-FRDJ
Radio Replacement
Interface for Select 2005+
MSCAN Ford I Lincoln I Mercury Vehicles
The C2R-FRD1 is an essential installation accessory for select 2005+ Ford / Lincoln / Mercury vehicles with
MSCAN databus radios. Using this interface will enable factory features such as rear seat entertainment
(RSE), rear seat controls (RSC) and the THXII amplifier when the original radio is removed. Other features
of the C2R-FRD1 include data bus driven retained accessory power (RAP) , vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
output , illumination , reverse output , parking brake output and a 5 volt regulated amp turn on for factory
installed subwoofers.
In stallatio n:
1. Make radio necessary connections to the provided harness,
independently isolating unused wires. The wire colors and
descriptions are noted aside. The RAP output
will last
for
approximately 10 minutes after the key is off or until a door is
opened. This output is rated at 1 amp max (for more current
refer to figure 1
).
2. The steering wheel control (SWC) output wire can only be
connected to an
optional SWC interface (SWI xxx sold
separately).
Use the vehicle specific interface version
number,
additional connection notes and programming
information provided with the
SWC interface.
3. The ability to fade the THXII amplifier is lost once the factory
radio is removed. The
amplifiers DSP mode
is set for "all
seats•
by the C2R FRD1 interface.
4. The AUX Jack RCA cables come from the original 3.5mm
auxiliary connection
if equipped. This can be connected to
the radios auxiliary input to make use of the existing auxiliary
connection location.
5. The RSE/RSC RCA cables come from either the overhead
DVD system
or the rear seat controls if the vehicle is
equipped. Connecting these
cables
to an auxiliary input will
allow
the overhead
DVD or the RSC auxiliary source to be
heard throughout the cabin when selected. The Single/Dual
Play
button will loop through the available modes listed below.
6. Most Ford/Lincoln/Mercury factory subwoofer inputs are mono,
wires
may only be present for 1 RCA cable. Connect this to
your radio's non fading output (sub out)
if available. The front
or rear pre amp output is suitable for this connection.
