5. Installation
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 trim panels covering the 7mm bolts that secure the radio into
the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of the
vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will
connect the Media Gateway harness.
3. Disconnect the factory 16-Pin harness and 14-Pin harness from the back of the
radio. Disconnect the antenna from the radio.
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the first port on the Media Gateway
(farthest 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 the customer’s
prefrence. 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 connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely), make the folllowing
connections
before connecting the PXAMG to the vehichle.
Plug the 3 foot HD
Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) into the second port (closest to the
dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. Connect the other end of this cable into the HD
Radio tuner. Connect the factory antenna cable into the antenna connection on the HD
Radio tuner (HDRT) Using a Peripheral BAA20 antenna adaptor if needed to make
this connection.
6. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHGM1 harness into the 16-pin port and 14-pin
port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 16-pin and 14-pin harness into
the female connectors on the PGHGM1 harness. Be sure to make a firm connection
but do not force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the PGHGM1 harness
into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.
7. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio
tuner (HDRT) into the cavity in the dash behind the radio. Be sure that the cables
and interface modules are not near moving parts or sharp metal edges as they may
damage the cables. To prevent rattling noises inside the dash, use zip ties, tape, or
other fasteners to mount the interfaces securely.
8. With all connections made, reconnect the vehicle’s battery, insert the key into the
ignition, and turn the vehicle on. Check for proper operation of the Media Gateway and
HD Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
9. Note: The first time you access the Gateway, your radio may display “DEV INIT”
while the device is initializing. If this is displayed, please wait one minute then cycle the
ignition off and on. Then access SAT mode again to begin normal gateway operation.
