High-powered car audio systems may produce sound pressure levels that
exceed the threshold at which hearing loss may result.
They may also impair a driver’s ability to hear traffic sounds or emergency vehicles.
Use common sense and practice safe listening habits when listening to or adjusting
your audio system.

SETUP/INSTALLATION
Mounting the Commander module:
The unit comes with 2 brackets. There are two holes located on each
side of the unit that allow the 4 screws the unit comes with to hold the brackets
into place. The module is small enough to be mounted under a seat, in the trunk,
or possibly behind the dash depending on the vehicle. Avoid mounting near any
movable parts, places where there can be moisture, near high temperatures, or
areas that are susceptible to electric interference. Be sure the unit has proper ventilation. For example a rear seat in a car may not have enough space for proper air
circulation.
RED = +12 VOLTS SWITCHED

Power Harness:
Yellow - +12 volt constant. This wire should show 12 volts regardless of the posi-
tion the key is turned to in the ignition. It is located in the top right pin of the 4 pin
connector plug.
Note: If your sound system is set up with remote
amplifiers or line inputs the audio outputs can be connected directly to you system with RCA cables from
these Audio Output jacks.

Red - +12 volts switched. This would be hooked to a wire that shows +12 volts
when the key is turned to the accessory or run positions but not show voltage when
the key is in the start position. This is the wire that tells the unit to turn on and off.
It is located in the lower right pin of the 4 pin connector plug.
Black - Ground. This should be connected to a chassis ground. This should be a
paint free surface. A good example is the kick panel. This wire is located in the top
left pin of the 4 pin connector.
Antenna In:
This is what allows the Car Connect to receive radio signals. The unit comes with an
antenna cable that has 1 male connector and 1 female connector on opposite ends
in order to extend the factory antenna wire. It may require the use of an antenna
adapter depending on what kind of vehicle it is being installed into.
Antenna Out:
This will allow the antenna to pass through to the radio's receiver. The unit comes
with an extension cable with 2 male connectors. One lead goes to the Car Connect,
the other goes to the antenna input for the car radio. This would still be required to
be installed even if using the RCA output, otherwise the head unit's tuner would not
be able to get reception anymore. This also allows for the fm modulator to output
signal through the selected radio station for radio's that do not have an auxiliary
input.
Audio output:
If the Car Connect is being installed in conjunction with a radio that has an auxiliary
input, the RCA output can be used. White is for the left signal and red is for the right
signal. This is not necessary to be installed if the desired output is through the fm
modulator only.
Interface:
The display connects on the 8 pin interface port located right on the main unit. The
display should be mounted in an area that makes it easily accessible. This could be
a center console area. The interface may be mounted with a double sided adhesive
such as Velcro or tape. Be sure the area is cleaned thoroughly first. Then apply the
adhesive.
