damage to the speaker.  
About the Connection of the USB device  
If an extension cable is needed for USB device  
connection, usage of the CA-U1EX (option) is  
recommended.  
Normal playback is not guaranteed when a cable  
other than the USB compatible cable is used.  
Connecting a cable whose total length is longer  
than 5 m can result in abnormal playback.  
Although the audio files are complied with the  
standards listed above, the play maybe impossible  
depending on the types or conditions of media or  
device.  
The files with copy protection cannot be played.  
The unit may not be compatible with upgrade of  
compression format standard and additional specifications.  
File/Folder name is the number of the characters including  
the extensions.  
This unit can display the following versions of MP3 ID3 tag:  
version 1.0/ 1.1/ 2.2/ 2.3  
AAC ID3 Tag cannot be displayed.  
Contact the sales agent as to whether your USB device  
conforms to the USB mass storage class specs.  
Using an unsupported USB device can result in abnormal  
playback or display of the audio file.  
Even if you use the USB device conforming to the above  
specs, audio files cannot be played normally depending on  
the type or condition of the USB device.  
Do not leave the USB device in the vehicle for a long time.  
It can deform or damage due to direct sunlight, high

Installation Procedure  
Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the  
following order: ground, battery, ignition.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the  
unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the Reset button.  
2WARNING  
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire  
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short  
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.  
If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFF  
immediately), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit  
or touched the chassis of the vehicle and the protection  
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker  
wire should be checked.  
If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position,  
connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be  
turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect  
the ignition wire to a power source with a constant  
voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.  
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that  
the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.  
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching  
to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with  
one with the same rating.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar  
material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps  
on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.  
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to  
which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail  
to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any  
metal part in the car.  
When only two speakers are being connected to the  
system, connect the connectors either to both the front  
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals  
(do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect  
the + connector of the left speaker to a front output  
terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear  
output terminal.  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.

Accessory7  
2
Secure the Remote control sensor (Accessory  
8) in the specified place with the double-  
sided adhesive tape.  
Double-sided  
adhesive tape  
Install the Remote control sensor on a flat surface. If it  
is installed on a curved surface, the tape adhesion may  
weaken and the controller may come off.  
Do not install the Remote control sensor in places (such  
as on the dashboard) where it is exposed to direct  
sunlight and the temperature becomes high. Otherwise,  
the Remote control sensor will become deformed and  
unusable.  
Install the Remote control sensor in places that do  
not obstruct driving. Install the Remote control sensor  
temporarily and verify that the handle, shift knob, and  
side brake can be operated smoothly.
