(e.g. Z-EACC-DAB1 or Z-EACC-DAB2)
●External microphone (N-ZENC-MIC)
ADDITIONAL MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
● The installation of the ZENEC system should be carried out by an authorized installer. Specic
knowledge and tools are required to do the installation. Incorrect installation can cause damage to the
vehicle and the ZENEC system.
●Correct functioning can only be guaranteed when you use the ZENEC original accessories included
in the kit or those optionally available. The ZENEC system and the original accessories must under no
circumstances be modied or altered in any way. Inappropriate actions can cause damage to the
vehicle and the ZENEC system.
CAUTION
●The target vehicle must factory congured with a OE radio or navigation systems. The ZENEC
system is not compatible with vehicles, which are equipped with a hybrid or electro drive ex factory.
●This device installation manual applies to vehicle platforms appearing in the compatibility list on the
previous page, and in a condition as offered by the respective vehicle manufacturer. Other differing
congurations and installations may result in complications and malfunctions.
●The ZENEC system is equipped with an integrated DAB+ receiver. To make use of this you will need
a suitable DAB antenna (not included in kit) that must be connected to the ZENEC system.
●If the target vehicle is already equipped with an original DAB antenna, it is still possible to use it in
combination with the ZENEC system. Please use the DAB antenna connector (No. 6), which is part of
the kit, for connection.
●The Z-E3150 comes with an adaptor interface, which ts to the double FM antenna plug from the
vehicle. If this solution is not sufcient, e.g. the FM radio reception is deemed to be poor, the
ZE-NC-ANT3 phantom power adaptor which is separately available, may help to improve FM signal
level.
●Software updates to the ZENEC system are installed with a USB memory device. Therefore when
tting the system make sure that the USB connection of the ZENEC system will still be accessible
later (installation of USB extension cable or USB hub).
●If you have questions or problems relating to the ZENEC system, please contact the dealer from
whom you purchased it.
●Additional questions about the compatibility could be answered by using the ZENEC online

EXAMPLE OF INSTALLATION AUDI A3
REMOVAL WORK AND PREPARATION:
3. To completely remove the factory radio, all the
cables (i.e. main wire harness, antenna cable
etc.) must be unplugged on the backside of the
device. Put the radio aside in a safe place, to
protect it from damage.
1. Unlock the OE factory radio with the unlock tool
(No. 10) contained in the set. You need to insert
all four keys.
2. It should be possible to pull out the radio without
applying brute force.
1. Remove the ignition key and keep it outside the car until the installation is finished.
2. Please wait for about 10 minutes until the CAN bus system is completely shut down, before you start
with the uninstallation of the original device.
3. Now you can start with the uninstallation of the original device.
4. Please switch on the ignition only, once all installation steps are completed and the ZENEC system
is firmly mounted.

INSTALLATION: 4. (No picture)
Install the GPS antenna (No. 2) in a suitable
position, making sure that the GPS reception is
not adversely affected by unwanted shielding
of metallic vehicle parts (thermal insulation
glazing, etc.). Then route the connection cable
into the radio bay.
5. (No picture)
If you have purchased the optional external
Bluetooth microphone (N-ZENC-MIC), install
it now and route the connection cable into
the radio bay. Depending on your preference,
and whether you select an internal or external
microphone, the microphone source for
Bluetooth mode must be set accordingly in the
unit menu.
6. (No picture)
Route the USB extension cable´s (No. 7) from
the radio bay to your preferred position.
7. Connect one of the main connection cables
(No. 4) of the ZENEC system (No. 1) to the
Quadlock connector of the car and close its
locking mechanism. Following this, connect the
CAN bus interface (No. 5) to the main connec-
tion cable.

COMMISSIONING
Finally carry out a general functional test and perform the basic and car specific settings (AC, OPS etc.).
Also ensure that no fault warnings appear on the vehicle side.
11. The installation of your Z-E3150 is now
complete.
●Make sure that all connectors at the rear of the ZENEC system have sufficient room and are not bent.
● Connectors without a retaining mechanism must be additionally secured with insulating tape.
10. Neatly arrange the wires to the side, making
room for the ZENEC system. Carefully slide
it into the radio slot. Push back the Z-E3150
until you hear the clicking sound of the latching
mechanism.
