To simplify installation to an OEM or aftermar-
ket radio the M 5DSP can also be connected us-
ing the optional PP-ISO cable (2.2 m version,
art. no. H424922). This cable allows to supply the

of the radio. No factory wires or plugs need to be cut
by using this connection method.
ATTENTION: In “HighPower” mode the power
supply of the M 5DSP must be connected di-
rectly to the car´s battery by using a separate

Connection to an OEM radio is detailed below:
1.
After removing the car radio from the dash us-
ing appropriate tools, disconnect the vehicle
harness from the car radio. Next, connect the
vehicle harness to the female connector of the

Depending on your car an additional car-specif-
ic adaptor may be required.

There are two
alternatives
to connect the
M 5DSP to power described in section 4a and
4b.
ATTENTION: In “HighPower” mode alterna-
tive 4b must be used.
When connecting a subwoofer to the M 5DSP,
we also recommend to use alternative 4b. Short

In this case the M 5DSP will be directly pow-

we strongly recommend option 4b.
Note:
Depending on the vehicle type the con-
nections for switched (ACC+) positive terminal
and constant positive terminal can be inter-
changed. The M 5DSP must not be powered
using the switched positive terminal as this
might result in damage to the vehicle‘s elec-

Direct power supply via the battery:
This wiring option has to be used if
“ HighPower” mode is activated!
It may also
be necessary if a subwoofer is connected to the

(max. 20A).
To do so disconnect joints (black, ground) and

) should be connected to a common
ground reference point (this is located where
the negative terminal of the battery is grounded
to the metal body of the vehicle) or to a pre-
pared metal location on the vehicle chassis i.e.
an area which has been cleaned of all paint res-
idues by using a power wire with a wire gauge
of min. 4 mm² / AWG 12.

you execute the following steps.
