• Connect the climate extension cable into the connector behind the radio trim panel with
climate controls, and then into the vehicle.
Note:
This harness must be connected for the climate controls to function.
• Connect the white round cable removed from the radio chassis in dash disassembly, into the

Note: If this is not connected, the factory display screen will not function.
Final assembly
Attention! For models with a 4.2-inch screen, please update the interface via the Axxess
Updater available via axxessinterfaces.com. Select “4.2-inch screen” once prompted to.
1. Locate the factory antenna connector in the dash, and complete all necessary connections
to the radio. Metra recommends using the proper mating adapter from Metra.
Note:
If using the ASWC-1 (sold separately), connect it after you program and test the 99-
6525, with the key in the off position.
2. Before using the kit it must be initialized. Initialize the kit by turning the ignition on until
the radio comes on, then turn the ignition back off, then back on again.
Note:
If the 99-6525 loses power for any reason, this step will need to be performed again.
3. Test the radio and climate controls for proper operation.
4. Mount the completed assembly into the dash using the 99-6525 radio trim panel with
climate controls, and then reassemble the dash in reverse order of disassembly.
Note: The potentiometer which is located on the 16-pin harness side of the interface is for
future applications.
