Subwoofer Connection Considerations
This device supports output to a powered subwoofer from
ZONE 3 (optional).
The subwoofer port on the device outputs a mono line-level
signal from both RCA connectors. The port output audio level is
linked to ZONE 3.
• If your subwoofer amplifier has two RCA input connectors,
you should connect both connectors to the device.
• If your subwoofer amplifier has one RCA input connector,
you can connect it to either subwoofer output RCA connector
on the device, because the two RCA subwoofer outputs are
parallel.
• Because the subwoofer output is linked to the ZONE 3
output, you must connect the blue wire from the wiring
harness to the subwoofer amplifier to provide a signal to turn
it on.
ZONE 3 Connection Considerations
In addition to the two stereo speaker zones available through
the wiring harness, this device supports the connection to
separate amplifier and speakers through the ZONE 3 port
(optional).
• The blue wire from the wiring harness must be connected to
the amplifier to provide a signal to turn on the amplifier with
the device. If it is necessary to extend this blue signal wire,
use 22 AWG (0.33 mm²) wire.
• The audio output is a stereo line level output over standard
RCA cable.
• The volume and balance for the amplifier is controlled
through the interface on a connected Garmin device or
through an optional Meteor remote control.
Installing the Remote USB Socket
Before installing the USB socket, make sure the cable will reach
the mounting location and the USB port on the back of the
device.
To allow for a proper seal, the mounting surface should be no
thicker than 12 mm (½ in.).
1
Remove the nut
À
, the protective cover
Á
, and the rubber
washer
Â
from the USB socket.
2
Mark the mounting location of the USB socket and drill a
20 mm (¾ in.) hole through the mounting surface.
3
From the back of the mounting surface, insert the USB
socket into the hole.
To ensure proper USB-connector orientation, the flat portion
of the socket
Ã
should face left when looking at the front of
the socket.
4
Place the rubber washer and protective cover on the USB
socket, and fasten the socket to the surface using the nut.
5
Route the USB cable to the device and connect it to the USB
port.
Installing the 3.5 mm Socket
Before installing the 3.5 mm socket, make sure the cable will
reach the mounting location and an auxiliary port on the back of
the device. The cable can be extended using a standard stereo
RCA extension cable if needed.
To allow for a proper seal, the mounting surface should be no
thicker than 15 mm (
5
/
8
in.).
1
Remove the nut
À
from the 3.5 mm socket and separate it
from the connected cable by pulling through one RCA
connector
Á
at a time.
Do not remove the protective cover
Â
from the 3.5 mm
socket.
2
Mark the mounting location of the 3.5 mm socket and drill a
20 mm (¾ in.) hole through the mounting surface.
3
From the front of the mounting surface, feed the cable
through the hole by inserting one RCA connector at a time,
and pull it through until the 3.5 mm socket rests in the hole.
4
Place the nut on the cable, thread it along the cable to the
3.5 mm socket, and fasten the socket to the surface.
5
Route the cable to the device and connect it to an auxiliary
port.
Playing Media
You can play and control media using a compatible Garmin
chartplotter or the optional Meteor remote control.
