IMPORTANT NOTE

If you are installing the Media Gateway into any of the following vehicles the PGHFD1A
harness is also required:

2008-2010 Ford Escape Non-Navigation

2009-2010 Ford F-150 Non Navigation

2009 Ford Flex Non-Navigation
2008-2010 Ford Focus
2008-2010 Mercury Mariner Non-Navigation

1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the
vehicle’s battery be disconnected from the electrical system before performing
the installation.

2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the bolts that secure the radio into
the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of
the vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will
connect the Media Gateway harness.

3. Disconnect the factory 24-Pin and 16-Pin harnesses from the back of the radio.
Disconnect the antenna from the radio.

4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the first port on the Media Gateway
(farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 11 foot iPod cable behind the dash
to the location where the iPod will be mounted or stored (for example the glove box
or center console). This location will vary based on the vehicle, and the customer’s
preference. When running this cable through the dash be sure to secure it away from
moving parts or sharp metal edges that may damage the cable.
