6. Installation
Before installing the Neo Gateway, be sure you have correctly set
the dipswitches according to section five.
NOTE: DO NOT disconnect the wiring from the “passenger airbag
light” on the dash bezel. Disconnecting this harness will cause an
airbag light to illuminate in the gauge cluster which needs to be
reset by a Volkswagen dealership.
1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that
the vehicle’s battery be disconnected from the electrical system before
performing the installation.
2. Carefully remove the radio from the dash of the vehicle. This will pro-
vide access to the factory radio connectors where you will connect the
Neo Gateway harness.
3. Disconnect the factory harness from the back of the radio.
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the first port on the Neo
Gateway furthest away from dipswitches. Carefully run the 11 foot iPod
cable behind the dash to the location where the iPod will be mounted or
stored (for example; the glove box or center console). This location
will vary based on the vehicle, and customer’s preference. When running
this cable through the dash, be sure to secure it away from moving parts
or sharp metal edges that may damage the cable.
5. If you are connecting the Neo Gateway in a Touareg with a Non-Nav-
igation radio featuring a “SAT” button, follow step 6 to connect the HD
Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separately). If you are not installing the HDRT
please skip step 6 and continue onto step # 7.
6. Plug the 3 foot HD Radio cable (8-Pin to 8-Pin) into the second port
(closest to the dipswitches) on the Neo Gateway. Connect the other end
of this cable into the HD Radio tuner. Connect the factory
WHITE
an-
tenna cable into the antenna connection on the HD Radio tuner (HDRT). If
the Tan connector is connected into the HDRT it will not receive any AM
reception. For best performance of the HDRT use an amplified antenna
adaptor to make this connection. We recommend the use of a Best Kits
BAADIN22 or equivalent.
7. Plug the male connector on the VW2 harness into the port on the back
of the radio. Next, connect the factory harness into the female connector
on the VW2 harness. Be sure to make a firm connection but do not force
it.
