INSTRUCTIONS

Every step description is illustrated on the next page.

STEP 1:

• Unbox the aftermarket radio and locate its main

harness.

• Connect the wires shown on the next page from

aftermarket radio main harness to the FO1 T-harness
and match the wire functions.

STEP 2:

The following is required in most vehicles equipped with
SYNC, without a factory Navigation system. If the vehicle is
equipped with a factory Navigation system this connection
is not required.

Read the WIRE CHART section of the guide to see if the
connection is required. If the connection is NOT required,
go to STEP 3. If the connection is required, complete
STEP 2.

• Disassemble the dashboard carefully and remove the

factory radio from its housing without disconnecting it.

• See the WIRE CHART for vehicle wire colors and

location.

• Locate the SWI 2 wire in the vehicle Sync harness.

• To test the SWI 2 wire, use a multimeter.

• Connect the BLACK test probe to ground (-) and

connect the RED test probe to the wire SWI 2 wire.
If the SWI 2 wire is connected, the multimeter will
display approximately 5 volts. This value will drop upon
pressing the steering wheel voice or phone button.

Once the SWI 2 wire is located and tested.

• Disconnect the factory radio and keep its factory

harness accessible for later use.

• Cut the SWI 2 INPUT wire.

• Insulate the SWI 2 INPUT wire going to the Sync

module.

• Connect the PINK/RED wire of FO1 T-harness to the

SWI 2 INPUT wire going to the steering wheel.

STEP 3:

• Connect the factory harness to the FO1 T-harness.

Connect only the available connectors. For example, if
the factory harness has two connectors, connect only
these two connectors.

STEP 4:

• Plug the aftermarket radio harnesses into the

aftermarket radio.

• Plug the Radio Control cable to aftermarket radio, as

shown on the last page of the guide.

• Insert the RCA connectors into the aftermarket radio.

NOTES:
The RCA connector labeled SUB IN can be used to feed the
subwoofer channel of the factory ampliﬁ er.
The RCA connector labeled CENTER IN can be used to feed
the center channel of the THX system in some Lincolns
or it can be used as a second subwoofer channel in some
Mustangs.
The RCA connectors labeled AUX IN can be used to
connect the factory 3.5 mm audio jack, in vehicles that
are NOT equipped with SYNC, to the auxiliary input of the
aftermarket radio.

STEP 5:

• Connect all the harnesses to the Maestro RR module

then program the module.

The module is now ready to be used.

Insert the aftermarket radio in the dashboard housing and
test all the functionalities. Reassemble the dashboard
carefully.
