INSTALLATION OF CD CHANGER
Warning: Disconnect and cover negative battery terminal.
1. Remove the access cover for the retractable hardtop hydraulic unit, in the right rear of the trunk and locate the 3-pole connector and fiber optic (D2B) cables.
2. Route the 3-pole connector and fiber optic cables out below the right rear trim panel of the trunk and reinstall the hydraulic unit access cover as shown in Figure 1.
Warning:
Handle fiber optic cables (D2B) with caution. Make sure they are not pinched, bent, nicked or stretched.
3. Remove the three (3) trunk trim panel retainers, and enlarge the holes to 10 mm in diameter. MAKE SURE NOT TO DRILL INTO CABLES OR HYDRAULIC LINES.
4. Install three (3) threaded inserts into the drilled holes.
5. Secure the angled bracket to the vehicle body using three (3) M8 x 12 bolts.
6. Fasten the CD changer into the bracket so the magazine eject button faces the REAR. This will allow for the magazine removal with the hardtop retracted. Connect the fiber optic (D2B) cables and the 3-pole power supply connector to the CD changer.
Note:
Refer to the Service Information preceding these Work Instructions for the connection diagrams and general notes.
7. Secure the assembled CD changer/bracket to the angled bracket using two (2) M6 x 16 Phillips head screws (Figure 2)
8. Reconnect battery cable, recode radio, insert magazine and test CD function. Verify correct version coding and system configuration using HHT.
Note:
This vehicle utilizes two sets of fiber optic cables (D2B) running from the front of the vehicle (radio) to the right and left side of the trunk for installation of CD changer or cellular telephone respectively. For the installation of the CD changer only, the fiber optic (D2B) cables on the right side of the trunk should be used. Respectively, for the installation of the telephone only, the fiber optic (D2B) cables on the left side of the trunk should be used. If both the CD changer and the phone are installed, a single fiber optic cable on each side is utilized with the aide of an additional fiber optic cable (already installed), which bridges both sides of the trunk and closes the optic loop. Refer to the connection diagram shown in the Service Information and perform the fiber optic continuity test using a flash light as described in note 5, of the Service Information, for correct installation.
