 The wiring and installaon of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. If you do
not feel condent installing this product or do not have the level of skill necessary, please
contact Polaris on 1300 555 514 so we can refer to a recommended installer.
 This unit is designed to be used in a vehicle with a 12 volt baery and a negave grounding.
Before installing this unit to a recreaonal vehicle, bus, or truck, make sure the baery
voltage is appropriate for this unit to be used. If installing into a 24Volt vehicle , you will need
a 10 amp converter which can be purchased through automove electronic shops such as
Jaycar electronics.
 To avoid short circuit in the electrical system, ensure that the negave baery cable is
disconnected before installaon.
 To avoid possibility of shorng out the electrical circuit in the unit, never connect the baery
wire directly to the vehicle baery.
 Always secure all wirings with cable clamps or adhesive tape to prevent short circuit.
 Please make sure all wiring connecons and speaker wires are well insulated.
 When pulling the dash apart, please use quality trim tools to avoid damaging your dash.
 Please do NOT cut any plugs o of any Polaris cameras. Doing so will void your warranty! If
you need to blend other brand cameras into our system, please call Polaris on 1300 555 514
so we can refer you to a recommended dealer who has the skill and experience in performing
this type of work.
 If you want an aermarket reverse camera to trigger when reverse gear is engaged, you will
need to nd reverse power. Please see page 14 for aermarket reverse cam wiring
instrucons or page 4 For OEM reverse camera wiring instrucons
 If there is something you are not 100% sure about when installing this unit, please give our
experienced technicians a call on 1300 555 514.
 You shouldn't be required the programme in the steering wheel controls as the power harness
has a canbus module built in. The canbus module is what controls the steering wheel control
funcons so they should work from the get go provided that everything has been plugged in
correctly.
Installaon Notes

7
Start by removing the two plasc screws in the gauge
housing with a stubby screw driver.
Gently Pull at both ends of the gauge housing to pop it
out. Remove and set aside.
The following installaon pictures have been taken using
the Hilux Maxx head unit. The same principle applies when
removing the factory head unit.

8
With your ngers, gently pry open the long dash trim
panel above the radio gradually working your way
down unl it’s completely removed.
Now open the boom glovebox so that you can grab
the top glovebox. Gently pull it out and put aside.

9
Next is the air condioning control panel. Get your
ngers in behind the panel, pull forward to pop it out
and let it sit there.

10
There are 4 screws that need to be undone (use a
10mm / phillips head), two up the top and two down
the boom. Once they are all out, pull on the fascia
and pop it forward.

11
Remove factory unit and brackets from fascia.
Before removing the fascia be sure to unplug the white
plug in the back of the fascia on the le hand side.
Aer this, unplug all the factory plugs from the back of
the OEM head unit.

12
Push down the 5 metal clips located on the back of the
Hilux Maxx. Once this is done screw the brackets back
onto the fascia and slide the Hilux Maxx in all the way
unl the two holes on each side line up. Once you are
happy with the posioning, screw the head unit to the
brackets.

13
Grab the loom and the necessary cables out of the box
and plug them straight into the factory plugs and into
the Hilux Maxx (please refer page 3 & 4).
If you are using the factory camera, plug it into the
factory camera plug. Please ensure that you also plug
the CAM in yellow RCA jack into the CAM in located on
loom no. 10 from the Hilux Maxx (please see page 3).
See page 13—14 on how to wire up an aermarket /
Polaris camera and mulple cameras to the Hilux Maxx

Back of Hilux Maxx
Front Cam In
Red = 12 Volt posive (suggested
source: Accessories power)
Black = Ground
We don’t suggest picking up power
from the front cam in power wires.
Somemes the 12 volt is not strong
enough to power some cameras.
Even though the actual input is labelled as front camera, you can sll use this input for a second reverse camera. The actual
head unit has an icon on the screen labelled CAM and this can toggle between the 2 cameras installed (regardless if it’s a
front camera or a second rear vision camera). If you want 3 cameras then we suggest purchasing a 2 way control box, see
page 15
Toggling between the 2 cameras without a Control Box
When you engage reverse the unit will always default to your tow vehicle reverse camera, to toggle to your second rear
camera while the vehicle is in reverse press the buon on your head unit.
To view any of the cameras whilst driving, select the Cam icon. It will default to the second camera automacally and if you
wish to view your tow vehicle reverse camera, press the on the touch screen.
