4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the first 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 separately), make the following

connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. 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) using a Best Kits BAA36 antenna adaptor (or equivalent) if

needed to make this connection.

6. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHNI2 harness into the 20-pin and 12-

pin ports on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 20-pin and 12-pin

harnesses into the female connectors on the PGHNI2 harness. Be sure to make a

firm connection but do not force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the

PGHNI2 harness into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.

7. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio

tuner (HDRT) 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 first time you access the Media 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.
