INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
*IMPORTANT WARNING
THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION WHICH MUST
BE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE WORDED IN SUCH A
MANNER TO ASSUME THAT THE INSTALLER IS CAPABLE OF COMPLETING
THESE TYPE OF ELECTRONIC INSTALLATIONS. IF YOU ARE UNCLEAR AS TO
WHAT YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO OR BELIEVE THAT YOU DO NOT UNDER-
STAND THE INSTRUCTIONS SO AS TO PROPERLY AND SAFELY COMPLETE
THE INSTALLATION YOU SHOULD CONSULTA TECHNICIAN WHO DOES HAVE
THIS KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND TO INSTALL THE INTERFACE AS
DESCRIBED COULD CAUSE HARM TO THE VEHICLE OR TO SAFETY
SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE. INTERFERENCE WITH CERTAIN SAFETY
SYSTEMS COULD CAUSE HARM TO PERSONS AS WELL. IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS IN THIS REGARD PLEASE CALL THE HELP LINE OR THE
METRA AT 1-800-221-0932 FOR ASSISTANCE.

THE CHTO-01 IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH VEHI-
CLES THAT HAVE A FACTORY AMPLIFIED SYSTEM.
THE CHTO-01 WILL PROVIDE A 12VOLTSWITCHED
WIRE FOR PROPER RADIO OPERATION. THE CHTO-01
NOW PROVIDES MUTE, PARKING BRAKE, VSS OR
SPEED SENSE, AND A REVERSE OUTPUT TO MAKE

AUDIO LEVEL CONTROL
When using the CHTO-01 with a radio that has a high audio pre-out voltage,
usually greater than 2 volts, the audio signal may become distorted.
To resolve this follow these steps:
1. Make sure the ignition is turned to the “off” position.
2. Disconnect both of the harnesses from the CHTO-01.
3. Remove the cove from the CHTO-01 by squeeezing the sides of the
cover to release the clips.
4. Locate the potentiometer on the circit board. See Figure A.
5. Taking a small flatheaded screwdriver, turn the potentiometer counter-
clockwise to lower the input level going to the factory amplifier.
6. After making the adjustment, replace the cover and reconnect wire
harnesses.

CONNECTIONS TO BE MADE ON THE
14 PIN HARNESS
1. Connect the blue/white wire to the radio’s amplifier turn-on wire.
2. Connect the red wire to the radio’s Igniton or accessory wire.
3. Connect the RCA cables to the radio’s RCA outputs. If no RCA outputs are
available, use the Metra line output converter, part # ALOC648,
(SOLD SEPARATELY).
4. The white RCA goes to the left front RCA output of the radio.
5. The gray RCA goes to the right front RCA output of the radio.
6. The green RCA goes to the left rear RCA output of the radio.
7. The purple RCA goes to the right rear RCA output of the radio.
The following wires on the 14 pin harness are for the aftermarket radios
that have navigation built in:
Connect the Brown wire to the mute wire of the aftermarket radio.
Connect the Green wire to the parking brake wire of the aftermarket radio.
Connect the Blue/Pink wire to the VSS or speed sense wire of the aftermarket
radio.
Connect the Green/Purple wire to the reverse wire of the aftermarket radio.
• When completed, plug the 14 pin harness into the CHTO-01.
INSTALLING THE CHTO-01
1. With all connections completed to the aftermarket radio, plug the 22 pin
connector into the vehicles corresponding wiring harnesses.
2. Cycle the key by turning the ignition on then back off, then back on again
to test the radio.
TESTING THE CHTO-01
1. Turn the ignition on then the radio to verify the radio works. Check balance
and fader controls for proper operation. If controls are backwards, check to
see if the RCA’s are in the correct location.

WIRING UP THE CHTO-01
*Important: Before beginning any of the following, disconnect the negative
battery terminal to prevent accidental short circuit.
*
*NOTE: THE ACCESSORY POWER SOURCE OF MOST ALL CHRYLSER VEHICLES KEEPS
THE RADIO ON UNTIL ONE OF THE DOORS IS OPENED. THIS IS CALLED R.A.P.
(RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER). THE CHTO-01 IS DESIGNED TO RETAIN THIS FEA-
TURE.
* NOTE: THE VEHICLES IGNITION SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE
PLUGGING THE CHTO-01 MODULE IN. ALSO THE KEY MUST BE CYCLED AT A MEDIUM
PACE AT LEAST TWO TIMES BEFORE BEGINNING TESTING.
CONNECTIONS TO BE MADE ON THE
22 PIN HARNESS:
1. Connect the yelow wire to the radio’s 12v battery or memory wire.
2. Connect the black wire to the radio’s ground wire.
3. Connect the orange wire to the radio’s illumination wire. if wire is not present,
tape up wire.
4. For the Caliber only, connect the blue/white wire to the blue/white wire in
the 14 pin harness, which connects to the radio’s amplifier turn-on wire.
