WARNING
With the installation of the device damage can occur!
If possible have the device installed by a qualified technician.►
If you want to install the device yourself, for safe and flawless operation of►
the device follow the instructions for connection and installation.
Connection
IMPORTANT
The use of incorrect connections can lead to damage to the
device.
For installation use the device's ISO connections. The vehicle specific ISO►
adapter that you may possibly require can be obtained from a specialist
establishment, from a local dealer or from the store's technical department.
When using other connection types the warranty becomes void!

Installation
SAB 160 A1
GB
To connect the device to two speakers use only the cables for the front speakers.
NOTICE
Make sure that a permanent positive connection is applied to the station►
memory of connection 4 in the ISO block A.
In some automobile models the standard confi
guration of the connections►
[4] and [7] in ISO block A are interchanged at the factory. If this is the
case the station memory can be lost. To correct this, the connections 7
(Ignition positive) and 4 (Permanent positive) in the ISO Block A must be
swapped. For this, insert the supplied adapter cable 51 between the ISO-
Block A 36 of the radio and the vehicle wiring harness. On the adapter
cable 51 , connect the red wire of the ISO connector with the yellow wire of
the ISO socket and the yellow wire of the ISO connector with the red wire
of the ISO socket (see also the rear fold-out side).
You can connect an external amplifier to the audio cinch output. For this►
follow the operating instructions for the external amplifier.
IMPORTANT
When using the adapter cable for the ISO-Block A► 51 , both connections
(red and yellow wires) must be connected with each other. If they are not,
there is the risk of a short circuit!
Antenna power connection
IMPORTANT
Possible damage to the device!
Never burden the connector for the antenna current with the motor power►
cable of the antenna or with other consumers.
The connection for the antenna power is available for a relay controlled antenna.
The relay then automatically extends the antenna when the device is switched
on. When switched off the antenna retracts. This connection can also be used to
control an external amplifier. For exact connection information please consult the
amplifier’s operating instructions.
Connection of an external amplifier
For the connection of an external amplifier use the audio cinch output LINE OUT 40 .
For this follow the operating instructions for the external amplifier.
Connection of an external subwoofer
For the connection of an external subwoofer use the yellow cinch connector
SUBWOOFER 38 . For this follow the operating instructions for the external
subwoofer.
