INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

* READ IMPORTANT WARNING ON PAGE 1

BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALLATION

The XiA connects an iPod and a XM receiver with a display module to
an OEM radio allowing control of the iPod or the XM receiver through
the radio buttons. This manual is specifically for Ford OEM Radios that
are not equipped for Satellite reception and have the XiA Interface Unit
installed in-vehicle along with either or both iPod and an external XM
Receiver.

The XiA Interface Unit emulates an OEM CD Changer or an external
Satellite Receiver, and on installation replaces either one. In vehicles
that are not equipped for the OEM Satellite Receiver, the XiA Adapter
should be setup to emulate the CD Changer.

INTRODUCTION

The Ford OEM Radios vary in what buttons they have. This manual covers as
many buttons as possible.The Radio connected to the XiA Unit, most likely, will
not have all the buttons listed in this document. However, the definitions of the
buttons displayed on the radio will still be valid.

PORT OVERVIEW

1) This port is used with the optonal XIA-LCD display.

2) This port is used with the XM cable XIAH-XMC or the AUX IN cable XIAH-RCA.

3) This port is used with the iPOD cable XIAH-IPC or the AUX IN cable XIAH-RCA.

POWERING UP THE XIA UNIT

When the unit is first connected to the car battery, the installer must cycle the
radio “on” & “off” at least 3 times, pausing each time for about 6 seconds. This is
required for the unit to synchronize with the external equipment such as iPod and
XM Tuner.

RADIO OPERATION

To use the iPod or the XM Receiver after installing the XiA Adapter, turn the radio
“on” and push the “Tape,” “CD,” or “Mode” button. The iPod or XM Receiver--­depending on which is connected---begins to play through the radio speaker sys­tem. Once this is done, use the arrow keys to advance to the next track (or sta­tion) or to the previous track (or station). The next section describes the button
operations when listening to either iPod or Satellite Radio.

LCD DISPLA

The LCD Display Unit (XIA-LCD) connects to the XiA Adapter Unit to provide visual
display information from iPod or Satellite Receiver---the active device at the
moment. This unit is particularly important in XiA applications where the OEM
Radio does not have a digital display to show the information obtained from the
active device.

XIA CABLE HARNESS PREPARATION

Various Cable Harnesses have been developed for the Ford Application that pro­vides the capability of having the XiA emulate either an OEM CD Changer or OEM
Satellite Receiver depending on the vehicle model and year.

In vehicles that are not equipped for Satellite Receiver operation, the XiA Adapter
must be arranged for CD Changer emulation. This is accomplished by removing a
jumper wire in the Cable Harness. Looking at the Cable Harness, locate the white
20-pin connector (J1, 2x10) and the jumper wire (White) between J1 Pins 7 and

17. Cut this jumper wire, and store it away with insulating tape. Once this is done,
the board will emulate an OEM external CD Changer.

If the XiA Adapter unit is working with a radio that supports ACP protocol and is
Satellite ready, no modification to the cable harness is required.
