Vehicle Installation 

In this chapter you will learn how to install the Neo iON in 
specific vehicles.  

Acura 

Before connecting any cables to the black box you must set the dip switch to the 

Chrysler New / Honda / Acura  position. If you set the dip-switches after you have 
connected cables to the box, you must disconnect and reconnect them for the iON to 

operate. 

 

 
 

 

 

§

 

All Models (1992-2001)  –

 Connector behind the radio, use the “Chrysler 

New” cable and the black box settings above. 

§

 

Acura NSX, SLX, and MDX  (1996 and Up) –

 Not Compatible. 

§

 

Acura’s with navigation are not compatible.

 

 

The radios display may not show the proper disc number after disc six. You can 
use all 10 discs in the magazine, but the readout will be wrong. This is not a 

technical problem; the car stereo was designed for no more than six discs. 

 

 
Plug an iPod into the iON’s connector 

Switch to the Neo iON by pressing the 

CD

 button on the radio.  

Select a playlist and press play on the iPod 

To change tracks simply press “

To FF/RW simply hold “
