NSTALLATION
WIRING THE SYSTEM
NOTE: See diagram on page 10 to help you connect your system.
CAUTION: If you do not feel comfortable with wiring your new source unit, please see
your local Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer for installation.
CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent
damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
1.
Install the 8-Pin and 16-Pin Power Harness by connecting the corresponding wires to the
electrical and audio system. Solder and heat shrink all connections for a reliable installation. For each
connection, cut a 1" piece of heat shrink tubing and slide over one of the wires. Strip each wire 3/8"
then twist together and solder. Slide the tubing over the connection and shrink the tubing with a hot
air gun until no bare wire is exposed.

2.
Connect the BLACK (Ground) wire to chassis ground. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any
paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the end of the
wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the wire to the chassis using a non-anodized screw and star
washer.
3.
Connect the YELLOW (Back Up) wire to a source of constant +12V (for retaining memory on
user-programmed functions).The source should always have +12V, even when the ignition is off and
the car is not running.
4.
Connect the RED (ACC +B) wire (Ignition) to a source of switched +12V (is on only when ignition
key is in "accessory" or "run" position).The switched signal is usually taken from the ACC (accessory)
position of the ignition. If the vehicle does not have an ACC position, connect the wire to the
switched ON position of the ignition.
5.
Connect the GREEN/RED (Brake) wire to a switch that provides ground when the vehicle is in
park (automatic transmission) or the parking brake is on (manual or automatic transmission).This is
required for the video screen to be viewed.
6.
Connect the PINK (Telephone Mute) wire for cell phone mute to the wire on the cell phone
harness that provides ground when the phone rings.
Optical Cable
7.
Connect one end of the supplied optical cable into the SPDIF OUT port on the back of the source
unit. Required for DVD audio.
13-Pin DIN Communication Cable
8.
Connect one end of the 13-pin DIN communication cable into the TUNER port on the back of the
source unit.

9.
Connect the BLACK (Ground) wire to chassis ground. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any
paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the end of the
wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the wire to the chassis using a non-anodized screw and star
washer.
