C. Configuring the MOST optical fiber ring
NOTICE!
Improper handing of optical fibers can damage the fibers. Damaged optical fibers can cause component malfunction. Handle optical fibers with care to prevent cuts, nicks, abrasions, and crushing.
1. Remove the CD changer/Car Navigation processor bracket assembly by removing the three self-tapping screws (A, Figure 1) and flange nut (B, Figure 1).
2. In the exposed area behind the removed CD changer/Car Navigation processor bracket assembly, find the MOST coupling (Arrow, Figure 6) and optical fibers.

3. Open the upper compartment of the center console.
4. Remove the coin holder (Figure 29).
5. Lift out the false floor (Figure 30).
6. Remove the knockout (Arrows, Figure 30) from the false floor by pressing it out from beneath.
NOTICE!
Excessive force will crack or break plastic. Applying excessive force while removing the knockout can crack or break the plastic false floor. Do not apply excessive force when removing the false floor knockout.

9. Seat the contact plate in the false floor knockout hole by firmly pressing down on the top of the contact plate until it audibly engages (Arrows, Figure 33).
NOTICE!
Excessive force will crack or break plastic. Using excessive force to seat the contact plate can crack the plastic false floor. Do not use excessive force to seat the contact plate in the false floor.
10. Secure the contact plate leads to the false floor underside with the kit-included metal clip (A, Figure 33).
11. Find the female power supply connector (A, Figure 34) and FAKRA antenna female connector (B, Figure 34) on the exposed floor of the upper compartment of the center console.

15. Reinstall the false floor with mounted contact plate and coin holder (Figure 36).
16. Reinstall the underside cover of the upper compartment of the center console with the previously removed six T10 Torx screws.
NOTICE!
Crimped or crushed cables can cause component malfunction or failure. Crimping or crushing the power supply and FAKRA antenna cables while installing the false floor can result in telephone malfunction or failure. Position the power supply and FAKRA antenna cables to prevent crimping or crushing while installing the false floor.
17. Attach the cradle-according to telephone type-to the contact plate by placing it atop and slightly behind the contact plate and then sliding it forward until it audibly engages (Figure 37).
18. Insert the telephone into the cradle (Figure 38).
J. Installing the push-to-talk (PTT) lever
1. Remove the plastic plug inserted into the mounting hole for the PTT lever on the right side of the steering column by carefully inserting a small flathead screwdriver into the slot in the plug and then prying it out (Figure 39).
2. Insert the PTT lever into the mounting hole rotating it until its grooves interlock with the teeth in the mounting hole and then push the lever completely into the mounting hole (Figure 40).
K. Version coding
L. MOST ring configuration
M. Final assembly and function testing
1. Verify proper telephone operation per the following checklist:
^ Handset dialing is functioning correctly-Use an active telephone to dial a valid telephone number. Listen for a dial tone and ring.
^ Head unit dialing is functioning correctly-Use an active telephone to dial a valid telephone number. Listen for a dial tone and ring over the vehicle audio system and then end the call via the steering wheel controls.
^ Handset incoming/outgoing call audio is clear-Use an active telephone to dial a telephone number, connect and either speak to a live person or leave a voicemail message.
^ Hands-free incoming/outgoing audio is clear-Use an active telephone to dial a telephone number, connect and either speak to a live person or leave a voicemail message.
^ Automatic memory download is functioning-Connect the telephone to the vehicle and wait 3 minutes for the download to complete. After 3 minutes, check several random phonebook locations and match the received and dialed call list to the telephone's list. (It may be necessary to store a test number in the telephone handset for this feature to operate. Stored numbers should be available for dialing from the head unit after automatic download.)
^ Signal strength-Note the telephone signal strength before and after connected to the vehicle. The signal strength should stay constant or increase when the telephone is connected to the vehicle. If the signal strength decreases, a problem exists.
2. Reinstall the left side paneling and floor paneling in the trunk.
