STEP 1
• Locate aftermarket radio’s main harness.
• Connect the wires shown on the next page from
aftermarket radio main harness to the JGC1 T-harness and
match the wire functions.

badges on the door panels and dash that indicate the
presence of an amplifier (ex: Alpine).
If the vehicle DOES NOT have a factory amplifier:
• Plug the female GREEN connector to the male GREEN
connector of your JGC1 T-harness.
• Plug the female WHITE connector to the male WHITE
connector of your JGC1 T-harness.
If the vehicle DOES have a factory amplifier:

the parking assist chimes will play through the external
speaker and the radio will not mute unless the settings are
changed in the radio.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The radio is not turning on. Ensure the 2-pin black connectors on the JGC1 harness are connected as
shown in step 2 of the guide.
Gauges do not work, radio shows OBD2 Error 1 or Error 2. Ensure the 2-pin black connectors on the JGC1 harness are connected as

radio, listed as Device Id, Device Number, or Serial Number.
