5. Installation
1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the vehicle’s
battery be disconnected from the electrical system before performing the
installation.
Please Note: If the radio is equipped with a built in CD
Changer, you must remove ALL discs before proceeding to
prevent damage to the radio’s CD mechanism.
2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 7mm bolts that secure the radio into
the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of
the vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will
connect the GateWay harness.
3. Disconnect the factory 16-Pin harness and 14-Pin harness from the back of the
radio.
4. When connecting the Satellite Radio tuner (SXV100 sold separartely), make the
folllowing connections before connecting the GateWay to the vehicle. Plug the
black end of the 3 foot ISSR12 (8-Pin mini-din to 10-Pin mini-din) into the first
port (farthest from the dipswitches) on the GateWay. Connect the gray end of
this cable into the Satellite Radio tuner.
5. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHGM1 harness into the 16-pin port and
14-pin port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 16-pin and 14-pin
harness into the female connectors on the PGHGM1 harness. Be sure to make a
firm connection but do not force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the
PGHGM1 harness into the GateWay.
6. To complete the installation secure the GateWay (GateWay) and Satellite
Radio tuner (SXV100) into the cavity in the dash behind the radio. Be sure that the
cables and interface modules are not near moving parts or sharp metal edges as
they may damage the cables. To prevent rattling noises inside the dash, use zip
ties, tape, or other fasteners to mount the interfaces securely.
7. With all connections made, reconnect the vehicle’s battery, insert the key into the
ignition, and turn the vehicle on. Check for proper operation of the GateWay
and Satellite Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
8. Note: The first time you access the Gateway, your radio may display “DEV INIT”
while the device is initializing. If this is displayed, please wait one minute then
cycle the ignition off and on. Then access SAT mode again to begin normal
Gateway operation.
