2.1 Installation Location

Most installations will require you to remove the factory radio in order to plug in the vehicle

specific harness. Some vehicles may require you to connect the interface to a factory

pre-run CD changer cable. The location of these CD changer cables will vary by vehicle.

Some common locations of these cables are in the trunk, behind the glove box, and in or

under a center console. ( see Fig.2 below)

2.2 Pre-Installation Checklist

At this time and before beginning the installation:

• You have read and understand the precautions outlined in section 1.2

• Your iPod’s Firmware should have been updated. (section 1.2)

• You should have your radio’s security code.(when applicable, see section 1.2)

• The dip-switches on the interface should have been set with the proper configuration.

(see section 1.3)

• You should have in your possession the correct harness for your vehicle. (see sec. 1.3)

• You have determined your installation location. (see section 2.1)

If any of these steps has not been taken, STOP. Only when ALL of these steps have been

taken should you proceed with the rest of the installation.

If you are not confident in making these connections to your radio’s wiring harness, we

recommend you seek professional installation. You can visit www.peripheralelectronics.com
