5. Installation
1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the
vehicle’s battery be disconnected from the electrical system before
performing the installation.
Please Note: If the radio is equipped with a built in CD
Changer, please remove ALL discs before proceeding to
prevent damage to the radio’s CD mechanism.
2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the bolts that secure the radio into
the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of
the vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will
connect the Media GateWay harness.
3. Disconnect the factory 24-Pin and 16-Pin harnesses from the back of the radio.
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the rst port on the Media GateWay
(farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 11 foot iPod cable behind
the dash to the location where the iPod will be mounted or stored (for example
the glove box or center console). This location will vary based on the vehicle, and
the customer’s preference. 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.
5. If connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely), make the following
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. Plug the 3 foot HD
Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) into the second port (closest to
the dipswitches) on the Media GateWay. Connect the other end of this cable into
the HD Radio tuner. Connect the factory antenna cable into the antenna
connection on the HD Radio tuner (HDRT) using a Best Kits BAA20 antenna
adapter (sold seperately)
SYNC Emulation
Compatible with 2009+ Ford vehicles that are equipped with SYNC
and have an internal satellite radio tuner. ** If there is a yellow Satellite
Radio antenna plugged into the radio then the satellite tuner is internal. If you
are installing the Media GateWay into a vehicle that does not have an internal
satellite tuner you MUST use satellite radio emulation.
Dipswitch three on provides connectivity for
iPod & HD Radio. SYNC emulation mode does
not support aftermarket Satellite Radio, AUX
input or the ISBT21.
