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 first 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 firm connection but do not
force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 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 first 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.
