Import Vehicles
Note 1:
If vehicle has rear controls and need to be retained with front controls, connect both pins 13 and
14 to the INTERFACE Green wire, and connect pin 12 (Pink or Violet) to ACC +12V.
Note 2:
Cut the indicated wire. Connect the INTERFACE Green or Yellow wire to the switch side of the
wire. Insulate the radio side.
Note 3:
Verify the wire by checking for +5V at rest; 0-5V when a button is pressed. Cut the wire (except
when noted in above chart). Connect the INTERFACE White wire to the switch side of the wire.
Insulate the radio side.
Note 4:
To connect mute function: Using a 12V SPST or SPDT relay, tap into pin 14 (Blue/Yellow) and
connect to pin 85. Connect pins 86 and 87 to ground. Connect pin 30 to the mute input of the new
head unit. Connect a 3.6k to 4k ohm resistor across the white and black wire of the INTERFACE.
Note 5:
Tracing the wire from pin 7 of radio plug (color may vary), cut the wire at the steering column.
Connect the INTERFACE Yellow wire to the switch side. Insulate the radio side. Colors known:
White/Red/yellow-dots or White/Gray/Yellow-dots. Wait 15 seconds after turning key to accessory
position before going into radio programming.
Note 6:
After cutting the Violet loop, insert a 1500-ohm resistor in-line on the loop.
Note 7:
Jaguar - connect a 4900-ohm resistor (supplied) across the INTERFACE White and Black wires.
Accord - connect a 5400-ohm resistor (supplied) across the INTERFACE White and Black wires,
connect Pin# 11 brown wire to chassis ground.
Note 8:
16 pin plug: Connect the (a.) wire to a 150-ohm resistor and the (b.) wire to a 47-ohm resistor
(both supplied). Connect the free ends of the resistors to the INTERFACE White wire. Connect the
(c.) wire to ground.
Note 9:
Test to locate a separate wire for each button (wires will show close to 0 ohms when button is
pressed). Connect one resistor (supplied) to each wire, starting with the lowest value, then connect
the free ends of the resistors to the INTERFACE White wire. 300ZX rotary volume knob can’t be
interfaced, only the push buttons.
Note 10:
Connect the pin 6 wire to ground. Connect the pin 7 wire to the INTERFACE White wire. Connect
a 150-ohm resistor (supplied) to the pin 8 wire and connect the free end also to the INTERFACE
White wire.
