BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALLATION
The MITO-01 is designed to be used in vehicles listed in
the applications that have the Rockford Fosgate audio sys-
tem.The Rockford Fosgate system uses a digital signal to
turn on the amplifier. The MITO-01 supplies that digital sig-
nal to turn the amplifier on and also eliminates the “COM
ERROR” message on the display when the OEM radio is
removed. When installing a radio that has navigation built
in, the MITO-01 can supply VSS (Vehicle Speed Sense),
Parking Brake, and Reverse; however Reverse is not avail-
able on manual transmission vehicles.
The radios speaker wires will provide the audio for the
dash and rear speakers while the rca’s will provide the
audio to the amplifier to power the door speakers and
woofer.
INSTALLING AND TESTING THE MITO-01
1. With all connections completed to the radio, plug the corresponding harnesses
into the MITO-01.
2. Cycle the key by turning the ignition on then back off, then back on again to
test the radio for proper operation.
3. If the subwoofer or front door speakers are too loud you can adjust the output
by following the steps below:
A. Locate the end of the MITO-01 with the 14 way Molex connector.
B. There are 2 potentiometers next to the Molex connector, the one closest to the
Molex connector is the subwoofer control and the other one is the front door
speaker control.
C. Using a small blade screwdriver turn the potentiometer of the speaker you want
to adjust either clockwise to make it louder or counterclockwise to lower the
volume.
