5. Installation
1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the vehicle’s
battery be disconnected from the electrical system before performing the installation.
2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 8mm bolts that secure the radio into
the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of the
vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will
connect the Media Gateway harness.
3. Disconnect the factory 14-Pin harness (if present) from the back of the radio.
Disconnect the antenna from the radio.
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the rst port on the Media Gateway
(farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 11 foot iPod cable behind the dash
to the location where the iPod will be mounted or stored (for example the glove box
or center console). This location will vary based on the vehicle, and the customer’s
prefrence. When running this cable through the dash be sure to secure it away from
moving parts or sharp metal edges that may damage the cable.
5. If connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely), make the folllowing
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehichle. Plug the 3 foot HD
Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) cable into the second port (closest to
the dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. Connect the other end of this cable into the
HD Radio tuner. Connect the factory antenna cable into the antenna connection on
the HD Radio tuner (HDRT).
6. If connecting the Satellite Radio tuner (SCC1 sold separartely), make the folllowing
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. Plug the black end of the 3
foot PXAMGSR (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din; sold seperately) into the second port
(closest to the dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. If you are installing the Satellite
Radio Tuner with the HDRT, connect the PXAMGSR cable to the port farthest from the
dipswitches. Connect the gray end of this cable into the Satellite Radio tuner.
7. Plug the male connector on the PGHHD1 harness into the 14-pin port on the back
of the radio. Next, connect the factory 14-pin harness (if present) into the female
connector on the PGHHD1 harness. Be sure to make a rm connection but do not
force it. Plug the Black micro-t 24-pin connector on the PGHHD1 harness into the
PXAMG Media Gateway box.
8. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio
tuner (HDRT if equipped) into the cavity in the dash behind the radio. Be sure that the
cables and interface modules are not near moving parts or sharp metal edges as they
may damage the cables. To prevent rattling noises inside the dash, use zip ties, tape,
or other fasteners to mount the interfaces securely.
9. With all connections made, reconnect the vehicle’s battery, insert the key into the
ignition, and turn the vehicle on. Check for proper operation of the Media Gateway and
HD Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
