Car Stereo System User Manual

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 covering the 8mm bolts that secure the radio into

the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of the

vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will

connect the Media Gateway harness.

3. Disconnect the factory 14-Pin harness (if present) from the back of the radio.

Disconnect the antenna from the radio.

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

(farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 11 foot iPod cable behind the dash

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 dash 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) cable 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 PGHHD1 harness into the 14-pin port on the back

of the radio. Next, connect the factory 14-pin harness (if present) into the female

connector on the PGHHD1 harness. Be sure to make a rm connection but do not

force it. Plug the Black micro-t 24-pin connector on the PGHHD1 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 in the dash behind the radio. 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 dash, 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.
