This document describes the MXD340SXM, an AM/FM/USB/SiriusXM-Ready™ receiver with Bluetooth connectivity and a front panel. It includes a SiriusXM Connect Tuner and Antenna. The device is designed for in-vehicle installation and operation, offering a range of audio playback and control features.
Installation and Preparation
Before installation, it is crucial to disconnect the negative battery terminal of the vehicle. The unit should be installed in a location free from high temperatures, direct sunlight, dust, dirt, or excessive vibration.
For typical DIN mounting, the process involves three steps:
- Insert the mounting sleeve into the dashboard or an installation kit.
- Bend multiple mounting tabs around the mounting sleeve to secure it.
- Connect all wiring harnesses and slide the head unit into the mounting sleeve until it clicks into place.
For ISO mounting, existing brackets or those supplied with the installation kit are used to mount the brackets to the sides of the head unit with screws.
The wiring diagram provides detailed connections:
- SXM IN: Connects to the included SiriusXM Connect Tuner and Antenna.
- BLUE (Remote Turn-On): Connects to an amplifier or power antenna. This wire should be insulated if not used.
- BLACK (Ground): Connects to the vehicle chassis ground.
- RED (Accessory): Connects to an existing ignition circuit or a switched 12-volt source.
- YELLOW (Memory): Connects to the battery circuit or a constant 12-volt source to retain settings.
- Speaker Wires: Dedicated wires for Left Front (White/Black and White), Right Front (Gray/Black and Gray), Left Rear (Green/Black and Green), and Right Rear (Violet/Black and Violet) speakers.
