Electronic control box
Try to mount the control box in an accessible location, away from HVAC unit. Do not
install the control box close to the heater or to the air-conditioning system.

Protect the control box from direct sunlight. Avoid installing the box inside of a metal
enclosure, such as a glove compartment. (This will adversely affect the quality of the
Bluetooth connection.)

Microphone
The microphone should be directed towards the driver, and should preferably be installed
between the visor and rear-view mirror. The distance between the microphone and the
user should be between 16 and 20 inches. Make sure no ventilation duct is pointed into
the microphone.

Keypad/LCD

Installation of the Keypad or LCD Display should be in an easily accessible place, on a
clean, flat surface. Connect the Keypad or LCD to the connector of the mute cable. Install
LCD away from direct sunlight.

Mute cable and Power cable

The power cable is identified by its two gray ISO connectors with the notch located on
the side.
The mute cable is identified by its two black ISO connectors with the notch located in the
middle.

IMPORTANT (CK3100/CK3300 only). Properly installed kit must say Good Bye on
LCD and stay On for another minute or so after the car is turned off. If that does not
happen and the kit shuts off at once, invert the Orange (Ignition) and Red (Battery) wires,
by removing fuses and switching wires. That should fix the problem.

1. BASIC INSTALLATION WITH ISO CONNECTORS

Installation in a Car with Radio with ISO sockets (see Diagram)

1. Disconnect the speaker harness and the power harness from the back of the car radio

2. Connect the mute cable and power cable female connectors to the back of the radio

3. Connect the speaker harness to the black male connector of the mute cable

4. Connect the power harness to the gray male connector of the power cable

5. If the car radio has a Mute input, connect the isolated yellow wire of the mute cable to o ne of
the cables labeled “Mute In 1”, “Mute In 2”, “Mute In 3” of the power cable. Co n s u l t t h e c a r
radio manual to determine the location of the mute input.

Important:

The red wire on the power cable must be connected to the constant +12V (battery wire)
The orange wire must be connected to the switched +12V (ignition wire)
The black wire must be connected to the electrical ground

Check the electrical diagram of the ISO power harness.

On some vehicles, the pin assignments of the battery wire and of the ignition wire are
switched. The positions of the red and orange wires must be inverted. It is done by
opening the fuse holders, and switching the two wires.

Do not connect the orange wire to the constant +12V (battery wire), you run the risk of
draining the battery.

Check that the red and green lights go on and off with the ignition.
