Backup camera harness:
For models with a 4.2-inch display screen:
• Use the 12-pin backup camera harness.
For models with an 8-inch display screen:
• Use the 54-pin backup camera harness.
There are two different methods for connecting the factory backup camera.
If retaining the camera to the aftermarket radio is desired:
• Connect the Yellow RCA jack the backup camera input of the aftermarket radio.
If retaining the camera to the touchscreen display is desired:
• Connect the Yellow RCA jack, to the Yellow RCA jack from the 4-pin harness with yellow RCA
jacks labeled “Rearview camera”.
Note:
If this method is chosen, the backup camera option must be enabled in the
Configuration Settings Screen.
4-pin harness with yellow RCA jacks:
• If retaining the factory backup camera to the touchscreen display is desired, connect the Yellow
RCA jack labeled “Rearview camera”, to the Yellow RCA jack from the 12-pin or 54-pin backup
camera harness.
• Disregard the Yellow RCA jack labeled “AUX video”, it will not be used in this application.
3.5mm jack steering wheel control retention:
• The 3.5mm jack is to be used to retain audio controls on the steering wheel control.
• For the radios listed below, connect the included
female 3.5mm connector with stripped leads,
to
the male 3.5mm SWC jack from the 5841 harness. Any remaining wires tape off and disregard:
•
Eclipse: Connect the steering wheel control wire, normally Brown, to the Brown/White wire of
the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire, normally Brown/White,
to the Brown wire of the connector
.
•

Connect the steering wheel control Key 1 wire
(Gray)
to the
Brown
wire.
•
Kenwood or select JVC with a steering wheel control wire:
Connect the
Blue/Yellow
wire to
the

wire.
Note:
If your Kenwood radio auto detects as a JVC, manually set the radio type to Kenwood.
See the instructions under changing radio type.
•
XITE:
Connect the steering wheel control SWC-2 wire from the radio to the
Brown
wire.
•
Parrot Asteroid Smart or Tablet:
Connect the 3.5mm jack into the AX-SWC-PARROT (sold separately),

SWC-1, to the
Brown
wire of the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire,
referred to as Key-B or SWC-2, to the
Brown/White
wire of the connector. If the radio comes with a
third wire for ground, disregard this wire
.
Note:
After the interface has been programmed to the vehicle, refer to the manual provided with
the radio for assigning the SWC buttons. Contact the radio manufacturer for more information.
• For all other radios: Connect the 3.5mm jack into the port on the radio designated for an external
steering wheel control interface. Refer to the manual provided with the radio if in doubt as to where

It is highly advisable to read the following steps beforehand, to ensure a clear understanding of
what is to be expected. The following steps must be done in the order that they are numbered.
With the vehicle completely off:
Touchscreen display
1. Connect the
16-pin harness with stripped leads
into port “B” in the touchscreen display.
2. Connect the 5841 harness to the wiring harnesses in the vehicle. These harnesses are the
ones removed in step 7 of dash disassembly. Then insert the 5841 harness into port “A” in
the touchscreen display. But do not install this harness until exactly before step 1 from the
“Programming” section. This is a timed process.
3. Connect the
4-pin harness with yellow RCA jacks
into port “C” in the touchscreen display.
4. Disregard ports “D” and “E”, they will not be used in this application.
5. Port “F” is an update port for future firmware upgrades.

HVAC interface
6. Connect the
HVAC interface harness
into the
HVAC interface
, and then to the wiring
harnesses in the vehicle. These harnesses are the ones removed in step 5 of dash
disassembly.
Attention! Disregard the 10-pin connector from the HVAC harness, and the “4-pin flat to
4-pin stacked harness”, they will not be used in this application.
7. Connect the 6-pin harness from the 5841 harness to the HVAC interface.
8. (a) For models with a 4.2-inch display screen: Connect the
12-pin backup camera harness
to the wiring harness in the vehicle. This harness is the one removed in step 6 of
dash disassembly.
(b) For models with an 8-inch display screen: Connect the female connector from the
54-pin backup camera harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle. This connector is located
behind the factory display screen, which was removed in step 6 of dash disassembly
.
Note: Disregard the male connector, it will not be used in this application.
9. Locate the factory antenna connector in the dash and complete all necessary connections to
the radio. Use the antenna adapter provided to adapt the factory antenna connector to the
