Note 1:
If vehicle has rear controls and need to be retained with front controls, connect both pins
13
and
14
to the INTERF
ACE
Green
wire, and connect pin
12
(
Pink or V
iolet
) to
ACC +12V
.
Note 2:
Cut the indicated wire. Connect the INTERF
ACE
Green or
Yellow
wire to the switch side of the
wire. Insulate the radio side.
Note 3:
Verify the wire by checking for +5V at rest; 0-5V when a button is pressed. Cut the wire (except when noted in above chart). Connect the INTERF
ACE
White
wire to the switch side of the wire.
Insulate the radio side.
Note 4:
To connect mute function: Using a 12V SPST
or SPDT
relay
, tap into pin
14
(
Blue/Y
ellow
) and
connect to pin
85
. Connect pins
86
and
87
to ground. Connect pin
30
to the mute input of the new
head unit. Connect a 3.6k to 4k ohm resistor across the white and black wire of the INTERF
ACE.
Note 5:
Tracing the wire from pin
7
of radio plug (color may vary), cut the wire at the steering column.
Connect the INTERF
ACE
Yellow
wire to the switch side. Insulate the radio side. Colors known:
White/Red/yellow-dots or White/Gray/Y
ellow-dots.

(both supplied). Connect the free ends of the resistors to the INTERF
ACE
White
wire. Connect the
(
c.
) wire to ground.
Note 9:
Test to locate a separate wire for each button (wires will show close to 0 ohms when button is pressed). Connect one resistor (supplied) to each wire, starting with the lowest value, then connect the free ends of the resistors to the INTERF
ACE
White
wire. 300ZX rotary volume knob can’t be
