3. Installation

Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! The interface needs a permanent
12V source. If according to factory rules disconnecting the battery is to be avoided, it is
usually sufficient to put the vehicle is sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not show
success, disconnect the battery with a resistor lead.
If power source is not taken directly from the battery, the connection has to be checked
for being start-up proven and permanent.
Prior to wire and device installation we suggest to connect and test correct function of all
after-market and factory infotainment equipment!

The interface is installed on the backside of the head unit.

3.1. Connecting interface-box and harnesses

Remove the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness from the rear of the
navigation computer.

Remove optical leads from the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness and
insert them into the female Quadlock connector of harness TV-BM01 at the same
position.

Connect female Quadlock connector of vehicle harness to the male Quadlock
connector of harness TV-BM01.

Connect female Quadlock connector of harness TV-BM01 to the male Quadlock
connector of the head unit.
