SATELLITE RADIO INSTALLATION
We are interested in your comments and/or suggestions regarding these installation instructions.
WARNING
Do not disconnect the negative battery cable. Extensive reprogramming requirements will otherwise be necessary. WIRING HARNESSES WILL BE ELECTRICALLY ACTIVE. IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE EXECUTING THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SEVERE VEHICLE DAMAGE. PERSONAL INJURY. OR DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Keep the ignition and radio powered OFF through the final test.
* Only model year 2004 after chassis end number A489208 are equipped with MCS head unit hardware and software that will accommodate satellite radio. Verify this by identifying the SAT' button on the MCS head unit. Warranty does not cover MCS head unit replacement to upgrade for satellite radio compatibility.
D2B Notes:
^ Fibers easily damage-handle fibers with care to prevent cuts, nicks, abrasions, kinks, and crushing.
^ Minimum bend radius for fibers is 25 mm.
^ Fiber optics "ring configurations" must form a closed loop to function (i.e. couple the input of a component with the output of the preceding component).
^ Light enters the clear fiber (input) and exits the red fiber (output). Each active D2B connector must therefore contain one red fiber end and one clear fiber end.
^ The red fiber end is always on the chamfered side of the connector and the clear fiber end is always on the square side of the connector.
^ Fiber connections or couplings follow a clear-to-red logic. A connector or coupling never contains two like-color fiber ends.
^ Identify D2B cables by their orange, semi-rigid insulation.
^ Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from bundled vehicle electrical harnesses does not affect fibers.
