5. If connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely), make the following 
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. Plug the 3 foot HD 
Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) into the second port (closest to the 
dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. Connect the other end of this cable into the HD 
Radio tuner. *Connect the factory antenna cable into the antenna connection on the 

HD Radio tuner (HDRT). *Note This connection requires the use of a Best Kits BAA9 

Antenna Adapter (or equivalent; sold seperately). 

6. If connecting the Satellite Radio tuner (SCC1 sold separartely), make the folllowing
connections 

before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle

. Plug the black end of

the 3 foot PXAMGSR cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din; sold seperately) into the 
second port (closest to the dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. If you are installing 
the Satellite Radio Tuner with the HDRT, connect the PXAMGSR cable to the port 
farthest from the dipswitches. Connect the gray end of this cable into the Satellite 
Radio tuner. 

7. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHFD1 harness into the 24-pin port and 16-
pin port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 24-pin and 16-pin harness 
(if present) into the female connectors on the PGHFD1 harness. Be sure to make a 

firm connection but do not force it. If you are using the PGHFD1A harness, the 4 pin 

plug on this harness will connect to the 4-Pin plug on the PGHFD1 harness.  The 
12 pin plug on this harness will replace the current 12-pin harness connected to the 

LCD screen mounted above the radio. Disconnect the factory 12-Pin harness and 

do not reconnect. Plug the 12-Pin connector of the PGHFD1A harness into the LCD 

display. Again make a firm connection, but do not force. Plug the black micro-fit 24-pin 

connector on the PGHFD1 harness into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.

8. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio 
tuner (HDRT) 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.

9. 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 Media Gateway 
and HD Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.

10. Note: The first time you access the Gateway, your radio may display “DEV INIT” 

while the device is initializing. After initially connecting the Gateway, please wait one 
minute then cycle the ignition off and on. Then access SAT mode again to begin 
normal gateway operation.
