. Set the dipswitches on the CarConnect interface as indicated on Page 4.
. Carefully remove the trim panels & bolts that secure the radio into the dash cavity. Carefully pull the radio from the dash of the
vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will connect the CarConnect harness.
. Disconnect the factory 12-Pin harness (if present) from the back of the radio.
. Select the location where the microphone will be mounted. This location will vary based on the vehicle and the customer’s
preference. Once mounted, carefully run the microphone cable behind the radio to the CarConnect. When running this cable
through the dash be sure to secure it away from moving parts or sharp metal edges that may damage the cable. Insert the
3.5mm microphone jack into the port on the CarConnect.
. Prepare the CarConnect harness for installation. Depending on what factory peripherals you have in your vehicle, you may
need to make changes to the red wire with bullet connectors on them.
A. Vehicles equipped with factory Satellite Radio + other Peripherals (Rear Seat Entertainment, CD Changer, etc...):
Connect the supplied PGHSATR wire to the bullet connector labeled “C” coming off of the 24-pin CarConnect connector.
(Fig.1) Run this wire to the factory satellite tuner and connect as outlined on page 6. Factory satellite tuner locations will
differ by vehicle but can ususally be found in the rear of the vehicle.
B. Vehicles equipped with only factory Satellite Radio: Disconnect the bullett connectors labeled A & B on the
PGHHD1R harness. Connect the bullett connector labeled “B” on the vehicle side of the PGHHD1R harness to the bullett
connector labeled “C” coming off of the 24-pin CarConnect harness (Fig. 2).
C. Vehicles equipped with no factory peripherals: Leave all bullett connectors as they are out of the box (A connected to
B). No modifications are necessary. (Fig. 3)
. Plug in the male connector on the PGHTY1R harness into the12-pin port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory12-
pin connector (if present) into the female connector on the PGHTY1R harness. Be sure to make a firm connection but do not
force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the PGHTY1R harness into the CarConnect Interface.
. To complete the installation secure the CarConnect into the cavity in the dash behind the radio. Be sure that the cables and
interface modules are not near moving parts or sharp metal edges as they may damage the cables. To prevent rattling noises
inside the dash, use zip ties, tape, or other fasteners to mount the interface securely.
. With all connections made, insert the key into the ignition, and turn the vehicle on. Check for proper operation of the
CarConnect before reinstalling the factory dash panels (see pg. 7 for test and verification section).
