2.2 Pre-Installation Checklist
At this time and before beginning the installation
please ensure that:
• You have read and understand the precautions
outlined in section 1.2
• Your iPod’s Firmware is up to date. (section
1.2)
• You have your radio’s security code.(when
applicable, see section 1.2)
• The dip-switches on the interface have been
set with the proper configuration. (see section
1.3)
• You have in your possession the correct
harness for your vehicle. (see sec. 1.3)
• You have determined your installation location.
(see section 2.1)
If any of these steps has not been taken,
STOP. Only when ALL of these steps have been
taken should you proceed with the rest of the
installation.
2.3 Wiring Connections
Some vehicle specific harnesses require wiring connections
that involve splicing of wires. If you are not confident in
making these connections to your radio’s wiring harness, we
recommend you seek professional installation. You can visit
www.isimplesolutions.com and click on the dealer link at the
top of the page to find an authorized professional installer.
Make these connections only after verifying the proper circuit
on your radio harness with a voltmeter. With the key OFF
and the negative test lead of the voltmeter firmly touching a
bare metal chassis part of your car, begin probing the wires
in the main radio harness with the positive test lead. The
constant 12V+ circuit should read a continuous 12 volts or
higher.
