Installation

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Turn the ignition off.

1. 

Ensure the factory radio is turned off

2. 

Installation

Remove the factory radio.

 The MBZNAUX1 will connect directly to the 

rear panel of the factory radio. Referencing the factory service manual 

instructions, remove the factory radio. If you feel this process is beyond your abilities, we 
strongly recommend having the work done by a mobile electronics specialist.

1

Connect the MBZNAUX1 harness.

 Connect the 10-pin female 

connector on the MBZNAUX1 harness to the matching location on the 

factory radio’s rear panel.

Assemble the components shown on page 3 and connect them to 
the MBZNAUX1 module. 

Use the diagrams on page 3 and 4 to assemble 

the components that will connect to and control your Zune device. 

Power connector wiring.

 Connect the black wire of the power connector shown on page 3

to a clean, bare-metal chassis ground. When in doubt, measure the resistance between 
potential grounding points and the vehicle battery using a multimeter. Choose a grounding 
point with equivalent resistance as other grounded components in the audio system. Connect 
the red wire to a +12V switched (ignition) power source. This wire requires a 12V, 1500mA 
inline fuse. MAKE CERTAIN THAT REPLACEMENT FUSES MATCH THESE SPECIFICATIONS.

RCA connections.

 The MBZNAUX1 module has two pairs of female RCA connectors labelled 

“INPUT A” and “INPUT B”. For simplicity, connect the male RCA audio cables (from the RCA 
component A/V output breakout shown on page 3) to the female RCA connectors labelled 
“INPUT A”; this connects your Zune device to “INPUT A”. You may optionally connect an 
additional low-level audio input source to “INPUT B”.
