Connecting the Units
Note:
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-
ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery
voltage.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to
disconnect the ≠ battery cable before beginning
installation.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con-
necting the power amp and other units, then make
connections correctly.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around them where they lie against metal parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake,
and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that
get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insu-
lation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a
danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle
body.
• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the
engine compartment to connect to the battery.
This will damage the lead insulation and cause a
very dangerous short.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection
circuit may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting
the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit
and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of
the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• When replacing a fuse, be sure to use only fuses
of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.
• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead
separately from the ground of high-current prod-
ucts such as power amps.
If you ground the products together and the
ground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam-
age to the products or fire.
• When this product’s source is switched ON, a
control signal is output through the blue/white
lead. Connect to an external power amp’s system
remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay
control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the
car features a glass antenna, connect to the anten-
na booster power supply terminal.
• When an external power amp is being used with
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do
not connect the blue/white lead to the power ter-
minal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could
cause excessive current drain and malfunction.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected
lead with insulating tape. There is a possibility of
short-circuiting if the leads are not insulated.
• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of
the IP-BUS connector and Optical connector is
blue, and the output side is black. Connect the
connectors of the same colors correctly.
• Connection of this system requires optical cables
and IP-BUS cables. Consult your nearest dealer
for more detail.
• Set GPS antenna away from this unit. If you set
them too close, it may fail to operate properly.
• This unit can not be installed in a vehicle that
does not have an ACC (accessory) position on
the ignition switch. (Fig. 1)

• Cords for this product and those for other prod-
ucts may be different colors even if they have the
same function. When connecting this product to
another product, refer to the supplied Installation
manuals of both products and connect cords that
have the same function.
