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 Neo Gateway harness.
3. Disconnect the factory 24 & 12-Pin harness (if present) 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 Neo 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 Gateway to the vehichle.
Plug the 3 foot HD
Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) cable 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 antenna cable into the antenna connection on the
HD Radio tuner (HDRT).
6. Plug in the male connectors on the GM5 harness into the 24 & 12-pin port on the
back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 24 & 12-pin harness (if present) into the
female connectors on the GM5 harness. Be sure to make a firm connection but do
not force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the GM5 harness into the
Gateway Neo Gateway box.
7. To complete the installation secure the Neo Gateway (Gateway) and HD Radio
tuner (HDRT if equipped) 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 Neo 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.
