CS9100 Installation in Subaru Cars
Disconnect the negative terminal of the accumulator before installing the CS9100 to avoid errors
in the ECU. In order to install CS9100, remove the original navigation system.
1. Unplug the connectors of the original navigation system (most often located under front passenger
seat) and remove it.
2. Connect one end of the Subaru interface cable (Fig. 1) to CS9100 (the 8-pin connector to the DATA
soc et, and the 9-pin connector to the RGB soc et). Connect the other end of the Subaru interface
cable (with a 13-pin soc et) to the 13-pin connector of the original navigation system.

3. Connect the CS9100 power supply cable to the CN100 connector’s wiring of the original
navigation system. (Fig. 2)

How to install the GPS antenna
Removal of the original navigation system allows you to connect CS9100 to the car’s original GPS
antenna. The best way to do this is to desolder the plastic soc et (Fig. 3) from the original wiring and solder
a 10cm coaxial cable fitted with a SMA Male connector (Fig. 4) with the wiring. The CS9100 navigation
system is fully compatible with the original antenna in all specifications.

On the other hand, you can use CS9100 with the GPS antenna that comes with it. For better signal pic up,
install the new GPS antenna in the rear spoiler (Fig. 5) (cable length allows for such installation). If there is
no rear spoiler, a fin-shaped antenna (Fig.6) can be used (it is not included with CS9100). You can also
install the CS9100 antenna (Fig. 7) under the windshield, over or under the plastic panel (Fig. 5).

When installing the GPS antenna in a concealed position, make sure there is no metal above it.
Installed the GPS antenna with the magnetic base down. (Fig. 7).
If your windshield and windows are made of thermal glass, install the GPS antenna on the roof
or rear spoiler.

When you switch on the CS9100 navigator for the first time, handle all setup procedures using the
remote control or a USB mouse.
If CS9100 doesn’t respond to the remote control, you’ll need to synchronize them. Press Return and
Home simultaneously and hold for 1s. Synchronous flashing of LEDs indicates a successful synchronization.
For correct operation of the navigation system, activate an appropriate control protocol:
1. Use the remote control to enter Settings in the main menu.
2. Choose System Config (Fig. 8).
3. Go to the Panel I tab.
4. Choose the Kenwood protocol (Fig. 9).
5. Press SAVE.

To be able to control the navigation system using the original touch panel without the remote
control, you’ll need to calibrate it:
1. Use the remote control to enter Settings in the main menu.
2. Choose Calibration.
3. Use a stylus from a PDA or any other non-sharp object to clic on the mar s that appear on
the screen. (Fig. 10)
4. Press EXIT.

Once you finish all setup procedures you can activate Autorun of the navigational software (or any
other software) in the Settings menu (Fig. 8).
This type of connection works only for cars with an external DVD navigation system.
You don’t have to cut off the wire connectors of the original navigation system. It is sufficient
to cut into the original wires.
