This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Source Unit. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments.
! CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a qualified Rockford Fosgate technician.
! CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1.Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the Source Unit.
2.For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3.For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your Source Unit in place.
4.Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.
5.Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
6.Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
7.Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection.
8.Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
9.ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install the appropriate fuse holder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.
10.When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING LOCATIONS
The mounting position of your source unit will have a great effect on the performance of your in-dash CD Player. The source unit can be installed in a wide range of operating locations. However, care should be taken to ensure optimum performance.
Engine Compartment
Mounting the source unit in the engine compartment will void your warranty. Doing so will not only cause severe damage to your new source unit, but will immediately promote you to “customer of the month” in our technical support department.
Instrument Panel
Mounting the source unit in the instrument panel provides optimum access. The source unit should be securely mounted using the “Standard Mount” or “ISO Mount” method to ensure optimum CD Player performance.
Center Console
Mounting the source unit in the center console provides optimum access. Be sure the installation does not interfere with the operation of the gear shift or parking brake. The source unit should have a mounting angle within ±20° from horizontal.
Glove Box
Mounting the source unit in the glove box is adequate, but does not provide easy access. Glove box mounting should only be done if “Instrument Panel” or ”Center Console,” mounting is not acceptable (i.e., maintaining integrity of older vehicles with metal dashboards.) The source unit should be mounted within ±20° from horizontal.
Under Dash
Mounting the source unit under the dash is adequate, but does not provide easy access. Under dash mounting should only be done if “Instrument Panel,” ”Center Console” or ”Glove Box” mounting is not acceptable. Mount the source unit off to the side of the driver's area to reduce interference with the parking brake, gear shift, or operating pedals. The source unit should be mounted within ±20° from horizontal.
WIRING THE SYSTEM
NOTE: The installation sheet that came with your unit has a diagram to help you connect your system.
! CAUTION: If you do not feel comfortable with wiring your new source unit, please see your local Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer for installation.
! CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
1.Install the 16-Pin Power Harness by connecting the corresponding wires to the electrical and audio system. Solder and heat shrink all connections for a reliable installation. For each connection, cut a 1" piece of heat shrink tubing and slide over one of the wires. Strip each wire 3/8" then twist together and solder. Slide the tubing over the connection and shrink the tubing with a hot air gun until no bare wire is exposed.

INSTALLATION
2.Connect the BLACK wire to chassis ground. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the end of the wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the wire to the chassis using a nonanodized screw and star washer.
3.Connect the YELLOW wire to a source of constant +12V (for retaining memory on userprogrammed functions). The source should always have +12V, even when the ignition is off and the car is not running.
4.Connect the RED wire (Ignition) to a source of switched +12V (is on only when ignition key is in “accessory” or “run” position). Connect the RED wire to a switched +12 volt positive source. The switched signal is usually taken from the ACC (accessory) position of the ignition. If the vehicle does not have an ACC position, connect the wire to the switched ON position of the ignition. The current consumption through this wire is negligible.
5.Connect the LT. BLUE wire to the “Remote Turn-On” leads of the amplifier(s). This will turn-on the external amplifiers when the source unit is powered on.
6.Connect the BLUE/RED wire to the “Power Antenna” lead. This will raise a fully automatic antenna when the source unit is powered on, but only when the unit is in Tuner Mode.
7.Connect the Speaker Wires (if external amplifiers are not used) to the corresponding speaker leads by soldering and heat shrinking all connections for a reliable installation. If only one pair of speakers is utilized in the system, use only the FRONT speaker leads and heat shrink the unused REAR leads to prevent from shorting out. Be sure to maintain speaker polarity. DO NOT chassis ground any speaker leads as unstable operation may result.
8.Install the Preamp Output Harness (if external amplifiers will be used) by plugging the RCA cables into the corresponding extension RCAs that feed the input of the amplifiers. Be sure to route the signal cables away from any high current wires to prevent coupling noise from radiated electrical fields into the audio signal. The FRONT RCAs connect to the Front speaker's amplifier. The REAR RCAs connect to the Rear speaker's amplifier.
9.Connect the Antenna by plugging the antenna cable into the connector located at the rear of the source unit. Be sure the antenna is securely grounded to the vehicle for proper radio reception.

MP3 Player Operation — Basic Playing
NOTE: RFX players do not recognize MP3 CDs created on a Macintosh.

6.When scrolling through a large number of files, use the 5 button (T/+10) to go forward ten (10) songs at a time, or the 4 Button (T/-10) to go back ten (10) songs at a time.
NOTE: Random (RDM), repeat (RPT), PAUSE, SCAN and Fast Forward/Fast Reverse work the same as a regular CD.
Negotiating the MP3 Directory
The ROOT Level
The ROOT Level contains the name of the disc, but no folder or song information. The first song on the disc will automatically begin playing when a disc is inserted.
Directly Selecting a Song by Title
The MP3 file management system is a folder-based system similar to the Windows™ File Manager. Because of this, the DIR / (UP and DOWN) keys function differently than they do in CD Mode. Instead of going forward or backward through your disc respectively, they go up and down through the file list.
1.Press the ROOT button and the display will show the disc name. The display will then immediately switch to show the name of the first folder on the disc and display it for 5 seconds. If no action is taken during this 5 second period, the display will default back to the song currently playing.
2.While the name of the first folder is showing, press the DOWN button to scroll through the list of folders. Press the UP button to scroll back up through the folders.
3.Press the ENTER (BAND) button and "••" will be displayed, indicating you are in the folder.
4.Press the DOWN button to scroll through the items (songs or sub-folders) contained in the selected folder. Press the UP button to scroll back through the items.
20
OPERATION-MP3
NOTE: The item (song or sub-folder) name will remain displayed for 5 seconds in steps 1 through 4 above. If no action is taken during this 5 second period, the display will default back to the song currently playing.
5.Press ENTER to select the song to play or the next sub-folder. If entering a sub-fold- er, return to step 3.
DOWN Button
When playing an MP3 track and the DOWN button is pressed, the player will take you to the beginning of the same track as long as the playing track has been playing for more than 10 seconds. If the track is within 10 seconds of its beginning, pressing the DOWN button will take the player to the beginning of the previous track.
Direct Track Access
Direct Track Access allows any track to be immediately selected and played. This method is faster than manually cycling through each track on the disc. MP3's work with a three (3) digit access.
1.Press the T-ACC (AS–TRACK ACC) button once to select Direct Track Access mode.
2.Press the number, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0, to access the desired track on the disc.
EXAMPLE: Pressing the T-ACC (AS–TRACK ACC) button, then 021 takes you to track 21, pressing 12 takes you to track 12 and so forth. Pressing just one (1) or two (2) digits, 11, and the ENTER button will take you to track 11. Without pressing ENTER, the system will go to the track after 5 seconds.
Direct Search
On this system, you can search the disk by title.
1.Press the T-ACC (AS–TRACK ACC) button twice (2 times) to enter into the search mode. A "_" will flash on the display.
2.Turn the volume knob to select a character located in the title of the song you want.
3.Press the volume knob to select that character and move to the next. A maximum of ten (10) characters can be selected.
NOTE: Pressing the volume knob when no character has been selected will give you a space.
4.Press the BAND (Enter) button to find the first item on the disk with your selection. If none are found, "NOT FOUND" will show on the display.
5.Use the DIR (DOWN) button to go forward through the list of items found.
6.Press the BAND (Enter) button to select that item.
EXAMPLE: Selecting the characters "RO" may find the words "ROmance" or "ROad". Either could be in the title of a song or folder. Pressing the BAND (Enter) button will either select the folder or begin playing the song that matches your selection. Narrow your selection by using more letters.

OPERATION-MP3
Maximum Writing Speed and Bit Depth
The maximum speed of the CD ROM burner accepted by the RFX units is 12X. The maximum bit rate range possible is 32kb/sec–320kb/sec. For best performance of scrolling display, before creating a file system in your CDR burning program, select the CD layout properties menu and file system tabs. The JOLIET file format is preferred, this allows a maximum of 24 upper and lowercase scrolling characters to be displayed. The use of ISO9660 file format and selecting the Long File Names option on your PC will work, however, this allows a only a maximum of 16 uppercase scrolling characters to be displayed.
NOTE: Make sure that when a MP3 CD is burned that it is formatted as a data disc and NOT as an audio disc.
