ABOUT THE AUX3
With the wide variety of audio sources available today (MP3, Satellite radio, DVD, Play station, Xbox, etc.)
you should not have to chose just one to input to your mobile audio system. The Soundgate AUX3 is a full
bandwidth, high-performance audio switching device which allows you to easily select between 3 separate
audio sources. As an example, you can input the audio from an MP3 Player (iPod etc), DVD player, and
Satellite Radio (XM or Sirius) to your audio system, and select between them with a simply flip of a switch.
1.
INSTALLATION
1.
Turn the ignition key to “Off”
2.
Make sure the audio system components are turned to the “Off” position
3.
The installation location for the AUX3 will vary from vehicle to vehicle. Please consult a factory
service manual for exact disassembly instructions if you are unsure of the procedure. Pay close
attention to any warning instructions regarding working in or around airbags.
Install the AUX3
4.
Choose a convenient location to mount the AUX3
5.
Route the switch harness to the switch mounting location and mount the selector switch.
Approximately 18” from the switch is a small white connector which can be disconnected to allow
easier routing and installation of the switch and associated wiring. Make sure and reconnect this
connector after installation.
6.
Connect the black wire with the ring terminal to a good bare metal chassis ground. DO NOT use
the ground in the factory wiring harness.
7.
Install a fuse holder with a 1AMP fuse in the red wire and connect to a +12Volt switched source.
DO NOT use the switched 12 Volt in the factory wiring harness
Install the auxiliary components per the manufacturer’s instructions
8.
Choose a convenient location to mount the auxiliary component (s). Following the instruction
supplied with the component (s), complete the installation.
9.
Run the audio cables from the new component(s) to the Soundgate AUX3
10.
Connect the RCA cables from the new component(s) to the AUX3. We recommend connecting
the component you will listen to more often to the RCA’s on the white connector labeled “
MAIN
INPUT”
. When the selector switch is in the center position, the relays are not energized, and the
“MAIN INPUT”
is active. Connect up to two more components to the RCA’s on the opposite end
of the AUX3 labeled
“INPUT A”
and
“INPUT B”.
