The 2 sets of RCA’s are labeled RSE and AUX:

The RCA’S with the RSE label is the audio from the overhead console. Plug

these into the radio’s rca auxillary audio input.

•

The RCA’s with the AUX label is the audio from the 3.5mm aux jack if the

vehicle is so equipped.

INSTALLING AND TESTING THE AFDI-RSE-01

1) With all the connections completed to the aftermarket radio, plug the 24 and

16 way connectors into the vehicles corresponding wiring harness.

2) Cycle the key by turning the ignition on then back off, then on again to test

the radio.

3) Insert a DVD into the overhead to play and turn your radio on to the auxiliary

input to hear the sound from the overhead.

NOTE:

We have found that using some aftermarket radios auxiliary input may cause
distortion to the audio from the RSE. If your radio does distort the audio from
the RSE we recommend the use of a ground loop isolator like our Axxess
AGL610. Install the ground loop isolator in between the radios auxiliary input
and the RSE rca jacks on the harness of the AFDI-RSE-01.
