Installation Instructions

The next thing you ’ ll hook up is the main connector block. This is required for the unit to
work. It deals with the speakers, all the power and the steering controls. The little red
plastic box is a CANBUS decoder which allows it to talk to the rest of the car, thus allowing
the steering wheel controls to work, and from what I can work out, it means it is able to
write text to the centre display, although I ’ ve only ever seen it say “ WELCOME!!!! ” , and it
seems a bit random how it does it …
This has one large quadlock on one end, which connects to the standard Vauxhall loom,
and then it has two smaller blocks and 3 loose cables. The two smaller blocks connect to
their corresponding sockets on the back of the head unit. They ’ re pretty obvious where
they go.
The BRAKE cable should be connected to the handbrake so that it will turn off the screen
when the handbrake is off while playing DVDs so that it doesn ’ t distract the driver … It can
be wired up to an earth point to make it think the handbrake is permanently on … but even
better than that, you can just not bother connecting it, and then turn off BRAKE DETECT
in the head unit settings and it will completely ignore this cable.
The AMP cable should be used as a remote turn-on for an external amplifier, so if you
don ’ t have one, then don ’ t worry about this.
The ANT-C cable is a bit of a tricky one. It has been suggested by a member to get better
radio signal, discard the aerial adapter that comes with the unit and to buy one of these
(click me) adapters, then connect it to the blue cable on the adapter .
So you should now be looking like this:
