Red - +12 volts switched. This would be hooked to a wire that shows +12 volts
when the key is turned to the accessory or run positions but not show voltage when
the key is in the start position. This is the wire that tells the unit to turn on and off.
It is located in the lower right pin of the 4 pin connector plug.
Black - Ground. This should be connected to a chassis ground. This should be a
paint free surface. A good example is the kick panel. This wire is located in the top
left pin of the 4 pin connector.
Antenna In:
This is what allows the Car Connect to receive radio signals. The unit comes with an
antenna cable that has 1 male connector and 1 female connector on opposite ends
in order to extend the factory antenna wire. It may require the use of an antenna
adapter depending on what kind of vehicle it is being installed into.
Antenna Out:
This will allow the antenna to pass through to the radio's receiver. The unit comes
with an extension cable with 2 male connectors. One lead goes to the Car Connect,
the other goes to the antenna input for the car radio. This would still be required to
be installed even if using the RCA output, otherwise the head unit's tuner would not
be able to get reception anymore. This also allows for the fm modulator to output
signal through the selected radio station for radio's that do not have an auxiliary
input.
Audio output:
If the Car Connect is being installed in conjunction with a radio that has an auxiliary
input, the RCA output can be used. White is for the left signal and red is for the right
signal. This is not necessary to be installed if the desired output is through the fm
modulator only.
Interface:
The display connects on the 8 pin interface port located right on the main unit. The
display should be mounted in an area that makes it easily accessible. This could be
a center console area. The interface may be mounted with a double sided adhesive
such as Velcro or tape. Be sure the area is cleaned thoroughly first. Then apply the
adhesive.
