Safety Precautions
Be sure to observe the following warnings. Failure to follow these safety instructions
and warnings may result in a serious accident and/or personal injury.
Install the cables and wiring so that it is not crimped or pinched by screws or
sharp metal edges. Route the cables away from moving parts or sharp pointed
edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If the wiring must pass
through a metal hole, be sure to use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insula-
tion from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
Do not open, disassemble or alter the unit in any way. Doing so may result in fire,
electric shock or product damage.
Do not insert any objects into the unit. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or
product damage.
Do not install the unit to high levels of humidity, moisture or dust. Doing so can
result in electric shock or product failure.

Installation
It is recommended that prior to starting the installation, you thoroughly read these
installation instructions and then follow them carefully for a successful installation.
Mounting the SNYSC1 Interface
Consider the mounting location carefully. You should make sure that you avoid the
following:
Any location where the device is exposed to moisture.
Any location where the device is exposed to extreme heat.
Any location where the device cannot get adequate ventilation.
Any location that would interfere with moving parts on the vehicle or hamper driving.
Be sure that you find a mounting location that is flat and has clearance above the
device to prevent any damage as well as allowing for ventilation.
The SNYSC1 can be mounted in three different ways:
By using attached mounting plate with the provided screws to secure the device
to the vehicle. (Figure 2) Caution: If you are attaching the device directly to the
vehicle’s chassis, be sure that you check to make sure the area behind the device
is free from moving parts, fuel or brake lines, wire harnesses, or any other items
which may get damaged by drilling a mounting hole or using the supplied screws.
By removing the mounting plate from the SNYSC1, and instead mounting it
directly to a surface using either double-sided stick tape, hook and loop, or other
adhesive material (not provided). Simply remove the two screws on the bottom of
the SNYSC1 to remove the bracket, as shown in Figure 3.

Wiring the SNYSC1 Interface
Power Harness
Connect the yellow wire of the power harness to a suitable +12V power source in the
vehicle, which is capable of providing 1 amp of power. Connect the black wire to the
vehicle ground. (Figure 5)
The power harness for the SNYSC1 has power filter box which contains a fuse for the
12V battery connection. Figure 5 also shows the location and type of fuse, and also
the identifies the pin-outs of the power connector.

System Wiring
There are three possible wiring configurations:
A simple configuration which utilizes only the SNYSC1 Interface. (Figure 6 on
page 17.)
A configuration which utilizes an iPod adapter in addition to the SNYSC1 Inter-
face. (Figure 7 on page 18.)
A configuration which utilizes an iPod adapter and a CD changer in addition
to the SNYSC1 Interface. (Figure 8 on page 19.) This configuration requires a
Sony XA-C40 Source Selector (not provided). Please note that it is important to
connect each device to the correct input ports of the source selector, as shown
in Figure 8.
