Owner's Manual
For ‘07-’10 Models:
Pop out the cigarette lighter housing on the left. Use a small pick or
tiny flathead and gently push in the tabs just behind the face of the
lighter flange and it can pop out. This is easier than removing the
entire dash piece. The blue wire with pink stripe is the wire you
want to splice into for the Remote Amp Wire. You can feed the wire
down behind the panel and into the driver foot area, under the
carpet for now.
And at the same time, you can install the Bass Level Controller if
you’re placing it near the lighter. A small hole can be drilled in the
dash that’s large enough to allow the wire end to pass through, and
the controller can be screwed to the dash, maybe under a climate
control dial. Taps of a hammer with the point of a pick-awl on each
mark you made for the Controller’s mounting screws will help give
you a start on getting the screws into the plastic. Once mounted, the
wire can then be brought down behind the panel like the Remote
wire. If you are placing the controller elsewhere, you simply need to
mount it, hiding the wire to your liking, and bring the wire down to
the driver floor area for now.
‘07-’10 Models
For ’11-’17 Models:
Pop out window switch panel with a good tug and unplug it. Then
remove the single screw (big arrow). This allows you to pop off
the top piece of the dash somewhat (the piece with the vents) so
you can pop off the lower AC Control piece that has the 12V
outlet. The lower panel is piggy-backed to the top vent piece with
plastic mounts at the circles in the picture and you need to slide it
off them. You can then pull it out and unplug everything to gain
better access to the outlet wiring. The blue wire with the pink
stripe on the back of the 12V outlet is the one you want to
tap into for the Amp Remote wire. The wire can then feed down
behind dash panel and over to the driver side foot area for now.
While you have the dash panel off, find your marks you made for
the Bass Controller and screw it in place since you can now easily
get to that part of the panel with a drill and screwdriver. Use a
tiny drill bit to pre-drill holes for the screws and screw it in place.
‘11-’17 Models
All Models
All Models will access a similar wire in the dash in the
steps below to connect the amp’s remote wire.
All models will tap into a blue wire with a pink stripe. Note: if
you’re adding other amplifier(s) for other audio upgrades, you
only need to run this single Remote wire over to the amp(s) and
can then splice into it for additional short runs to other amp(s).
The amp won’t turn on and use power from the battery until it
gets power from this wire - And this wire is ‘switched’ and only
has power when the key is in the ON or ACCS. position.
