VOICE ACTIVATED CELLULAR TELEPHONE/CD CHANGER INSTALLATION
Application Specific D2B Notes:
•CD changer, telephone, and voice recognition module fibers are installed at the factory. Telephone and
voice recognition fibers run along the left rear quarter panel and the CD fibers along the right rear quarter panel.
•The vehicle is configured from the factory for the CD changer only.
•Two sets of fiber cables run along the left quarter panel. One set is for the telephone only and the other for
telephone and voice recognition. While not in the factory configured ring, these optics are coupled together
just forward of the battery on the right. Which set of optics to use, will depend whether the telephone only or
telephone with voice recognition will be installed.
•All reconfiguration points are in the trunk in front of the battery and to the right of the fuse panel.
WARNING!
Disconnecting the negative battery cable is not recommended due to otherwise extensive
reprogramming requirements. WIRING HARNESSES WILL BE ELECTRICALLY ACTIVE. IT IS
THEREFORE NECESSARY TO EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE EXECUTING THESE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO DO SO, COULD RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK. The ignition and radio power must remain OFF until
the final test is performed.

4. Return to the D2B functions menu. Using path: Actual values/D2B Actual configuration, verify that the
version coding input above (specified value) matches the actual configuration performed during installation
(actual values). If a difference exists, the ring has been improperly configured and must be disassembled
and properly reconfigured.
NOTICE!
DO NOT alter the configuration in step H3 to match the vehicle configuration. Failure to have the
configuration set as indicated in the table above will result in erroneous system operation and/or
intermittent functioning of some or all components.
5. Check the DTC memory of all installed components and the head unit. Any present DTC(s) should be
investigated and the source identified. Once identified, the source of the DTC(s) should be corrected and
the DTC memory cleared.
Note: Powering up the newly installed system prior to the above described version coding, will set D2B
ring configuration errors. These errors may be ignored during the initial DTC check. If after clearing the
DTC(s), they return in the next step, a configuration error is present and must be located and corrected.
6. Confirm that no new DTC(s) have been set in the D2B system group.
I. Final Assembly and Function Test
1. Replace the trunk mat and removed panels.
2. Program the telephone per S-SI-82.70/124, StarTAC Portable Telephone Programming.
3. Verify proper CD changer, telephone, and Voice Activation System (as applicable to equipment installed)
operation per the following checklist:
