APPLICATIONS
CABLE HARNESS PREPARATION
Various Cable Harnesses have been developed for the Ford Application that pro-
vides the capability of having the XiA emulate either an OEM CD Changer or OEM
Satellite Receiver depending on the vehicle model and year. In vehicles that are
not equipped for Satellite Receiver operation, the XiA Adapter must be arranged for
CD Changer emulation. This is accomplished by removing a jumper wire in the
Cable Harness. Looking at the Cable Harness, locate the white 20-pin connector
(J1, 2x10) and the jumper wire (White) between J1 Pins 7 and 17.

Cut this jumper wire, and store it away with insulating tape. Once this is done,
the board will emulate an OEM external CD Changer.
If the XiA Adapter unit is working with a radio that supports ACP protocol and is
Satellite ready, no modification to the cable harness is required.
POWERING UP THE XIA UNIT
When the unit is first connected to the car battery, the installer must cycle the
radio “on” & “off” at least 3 times, pausing each time for about 6 seconds. This is
required for the unit to synchronize with the external equipment such as iPod and
XM Tuner.
RADIO OPERATION
To use the iPod or the XM Receiver after installing the XiA Adapter, turn the radio
“on” and push the “Tape,” “CD,” or “Mode” button. The iPod or XM Receiver---
depending on which is connected---begins to play through the radio speaker
system. Once this is done, use the arrow keys to advance to the next track
(or station) or to the previous track track (or station). The next section describes
the button operations when listening to either iPod or Satellite Radio.
LCD DISPLAY UNIT
The LCD Display Unit (XIA-LCD) connects to the XiA Adapter Unit to provide visual
display information from iPod or Satellite Receiver---the active device at the
moment. This unit is particularly important in XiA applications where the OEM
Radio does not have a digital display to show the information obtained from the
active device.

WIRING CONNECTIONS
Connect the Yellow wire coming off the 20 pin Molex connector to a 12 volt (+)
constant battery wire which can be found in the OEM radio harness. Be sure to
use a multimeter to verify the 12 volt (+) constant battery wire. Connect the Black
wire to coming off the 20 pin Molex connector to a ground. There is a ground wire
in the OEM radio harness, use a multimeter to verify, or you can connect the Black
wire to a metal brace in the dash.

INTRODUCTION
The Ford OEM Radios vary in what buttons they have. This manual covers as many
buttons as possible. The Radio connected to the XiA Unit, most likely, will not have
all the buttons listed in this document. However, the definitions of the buttons dis-
played on the radio will still be valid.
