INTRODUCTION
- NOTE! Read through the whole installation instruction before starting the work.
- The illustrations display the procedure in order of operation. The order of operation is repeated in the text section.






Handsfree, Bluetooth

Note! Wiring A is for vehicles with an internal amplifier that is located in the media player. Wiring B and C are for vehicles with an external amplifier. This is located on the left-hand side of the cargo compartment. Cars with Performance Sound have internal amplifier. Cars with the High Performance and Premium Sound audio systems have external amplifier. These installation instructions apply to left-hand drive vehicles. When installing in a right-hand drive vehicle, the procedure is carried out on the opposite side and/or mirrored. Where the operation differs, right-hand versions are also displayed with text and images. There may be components in the accessories kit that are not used for this installation.

Note! When installing Velcro fasteners/tape the underlying surface must be kept at a temperature of at least +20° C (68°F). Place the manual for this accessory in a suitable place in the vehicle.
