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.
2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 7mm 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 harness and 12-Pin harness (if present) from the
back of the radio. Disconnect the antenna from 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
prefrence. 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 folllowing
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 BAA4B antenna adaptor if needed to make this
connection.
6. If connecting the Satellite Radio tuner (SCC1 sold separartely), make the folllowing
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. Plug the black end of the 3
foot PXAMGSR (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din; sold seperately) into the second port
(closest to the dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. If you are installing the Satellite
Radio Tuner with the HDRT, connect the PXAMGSR cable to the port farthest from the
dipswitches. Connect the gray end of this cable into the Satellite Radio tuner.
7. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHGM5 harness into the 24-pin port and 12-
pin port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 24-pin and 12-pin harness
(if available) into the female connectors on the PGHGM5 harness. Be sure to make
a rm connection but do not force it. Plug the Black micro-t 24-pin connector on the
PGHGM5 harness into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.
8. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio
tuner (HDRT) or Satellite Radio tuner (SCC1) 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 interfaces securely.
9. With all connections made, reconnect the vehicle’s battery, insert the key into the
ignition, and turn the vehicle on. Check for proper operation of the Media Gateway and
HD Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
