Universal Audio Interface (I-no. 870)
Information
This bulletin replaces bulletin Group 9, # 24/08, dated January 19, 2009.
Concerns:
Retrofitting
Model Year:
As of 2009
Restriction:
Only for vehicles with PCM3.0.
Note:
Following installation, there are three connections available in the center console storage compartment to which an iPod(R), a USB stick or any audio source can be connected via AUX interface (standard connection socket for 3.5-mm jack plugs). The iPod(R) or USB stick is operated via PCM. The iPod(R) and USB stick can also be operated using voice control and/or the multi-function steering wheel. In addition, the data from the Sport Chrono Package performance display and the electronic logbook can be downloaded via the USB connection.
The standard plug socket in the center console storage compartment is no longer used when the standard audio interface is installed.
For more information on operation and the various functions available, refer to the "PCM" operating instructions.
After ordering, i.e. entering the part number and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in POLARIS Lock/Key parts order screen, the enabling code should be displayed within one day once the VIN is entered in the Vehicle code information column in the PIWIS information system.
For the connection of your new generation iPod/iPhone 3G, Apple has modified the assignment of the Dock Connector. Due to the modification by Apple of the Dock Connector for the new generation iPod/iPhone as of the middle of 2008, the previous charging function of the standard audio interface via the Dock Connector is no longer available for the new devices. In this case, a charging function for new Apple devices is available via the USB/Dock Connector cable included with the devices.
The part number for the iPhone 3G interface cable with charging capability is 997.612.471.02.

Information
The standard plug socket in the center console storage compartment is no longer used.
2.1 Secure connector from the plug socket on the standard wire harness with tie-wraps --> Figure 5-arrow-.
2.2 Wind wrapping tape around the wire harness (retrofit kit).
2.3 Route wire harness (retrofit kit).
2.3.1 Secure wire harness (retrofit kit) --> Figure 6-1- with a retaining clip --> Figure 6-2- so that it is centered on the handbrake lever.
2.3.2 Secure wire harness (retrofit kit) to the guide tube for the handbrake cable --> Figure 7-1- using tie-wraps --> Figure 7-arrow-.
2.3.3 Secure wire harness (retrofit kit) to the gearshift bracket --> Figure 8 -1-with a securing clip.
2.3.4 Route wire harness (retrofit kit) --> Figure 9-1- forward towards the PCM installation slot and secure it to the standard wire harness with tie-wraps.
2.3.5 Insert connector module D (coding: green) --> Figure 10-1-into the PCM central connector --> Figure 10-2-.
3 Fit retaining clips on insert for locking mechanism.
3.1 Position insert for locking mechanism --> Figure 11 -A- and console --> Figure 11-B- so that they are flush.
3.2 Mark the position of the retaining clips on the insert for the locking mechanism --> Figure 11 -arrows-. To do this, slide one --> Figure 11-C- or both retaining clips on the insert for the locking mechanism and console as required.
3.3 Using a file or similar tool, carefully make a groove the same width as the retaining clip between the markings until the retaining clip --> Figure 12-1-and edge --> Figure 12-2-form a line --> Figure 12 -arrow-.
3.4 Fit retaining clips on insert for locking mechanism.
3.5 Press insert for locking mechanism down --> Figure 13-arrow- until it engages in the center console.
