IMPORTANT!
If you wish to use the Voice, OK or Phone button in vehicles equipped with analog steering wheel controls you
MUST hardwire them into the RP4-FD11. If these 3 buttons function with NO modifications this is not required. The wires you need
can be found by removing plastic panels surrounding the steering wheel column and accessing the connector which houses the
wire. Once you have located the connector you must cut the wires located in pins 4 & 6 or 5 & 15 (depending on the vehicle) The
connector in which you will find pins 4 & 6 in is shown in Fig. 1 & 2 (Wire colors are normally White/Violet - and Blue/
but may vary by vehicle ). Finally you must connect the steering wheel side of the two wires to the RP4-FD11 interface connector
as shown in Fig. 3. If your vehicle has the wires in pins 5 & 15 you will want to connect the White/Violet wire to Pin 11 of the RP
Interface and the Blue/Orange to Pin 4.
