INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
• Unbox the aftermarket radio and locate its main harness.

Connect every wire to the aftermarket radio main harness
and match the wire colors.
• Connect every wire from the aftermarket radio main
harness to the FO1 T-harness and match the wire colors.
(Refer to Diagram)
STEP 2
Vehicles equipped with navigation radios skip to Step 3.
(Required for vehicles equipped with SYNC, without factory
navigation system; refer to Vehicle Wire Chart)
• Disassemble the dashboard carefully and remove the
factory radio from its housing without disconnecting it.
• See the WIRE CHART for vehicle wire color and location.
• Use a multimeter to test the SWI 2 wire. Connect the
BLACK test probe to ground (-) and connect the RED test
probe to the wire SWI 2 wire. Have the ignition and the
radio ON. If the SWI 2 wire is connected, the multimeter
will display approximately 5 volts. This value will drop upon
pressing the steering wheel voice, phone or OK button.
• Cut the SWI 2 INPUT wire.
• Connect the PINK/RED wire of FO1 T-harness to the SWI 2
INPUT wire going to the steering wheel. Insulate the wire
side going to the SYNC module and plug the SYNC harness
into the SYNC module.
STEP 3
• Connect the factory harness to the FO1 T-harness. Connect
only the available connectors. For example, if the factory
harness has two connectors, connect only these two
connectors.
STEP 4
• Plug the OBDII connector into the OBDII of the vehicle.
STEP 5
• Plug the aftermarket radio harnesses into the aftermarket
radio.
• Plug the Data cable to the data port of the aftermarket
radio.
• Insert the Audio cable into the iDatalink 3.5 mm audio
jack of the aftermarket radio (if there is no iDatalink audio
input, connect to AUX).
Note: On Pioneer radio, ensure that there is nothing
plugged into the W/R port.
• Insert the RCA connectors into the aftermarket radio.
NOTES:
The RCA connectors labeled SUB IN can be used to feed
the subwoofer channel of the factory amplifier.
The RCA connector labeled CENTER IN can be used to
feed the center channel of the THX system or as a second
subwoofer channel (if applicable).
The RCA connectors labeled AUX IN can be used to
connect the factory 3.5 mm audio jack, in vehicles that
are NOT equipped with SYNC, to the auxiliary input of the
aftermarket radio.
STEP 6
• Secure the aftermarket radio in the dashboardhousing.
• Connect all the harnesses to the Maestro RR module then
test your installation.
