Brandmotion 5000-PESMVR - Manual

SYNC Microphone Mirror replacement Kit
Purpose: This kit allows for the replacement of the OE SYNC equipped mirror with built-in microphone
with a Brandmotion Rear Camera Mirror and still allow for full function of SYNC system in the vehicle.
Step 1) Test the original mirror for proper SYNC functions prior to removal of mirror (see car owner’s
manual for specific instructions).
Step 2) With the ignition switch in the Off position disconnect and remove the existing mirror.
Step 3) Locate the correct location of the vehicle in which to make your microphone connections (in most
cases the connection is not made at the mirror connection it is mainly at the A pillar see supplement guide
for vehicle specific instructions).
Step 4) Connect all 5 wires of the microphone replacement kit (the system is much more complex and so
for best results all 5 wires are needed).
There are a total of 5 wires to this kit
Yellow X1
MIC +
Blue X1 12V +
Black X3 Ground
Note: All three black wires are identical and are joined together inside the harness.
Connecting techniques:
Brandmotion recommends that you DO NOT cut any wires instead it is best that you either use the “strip
and splice” method or that you use T-tap connectors to make your connections. When making your
connections specially with T-taps, make sure to test fit any panels which will need to be reinstalled on the
vehicle.
Strip and Splice: This method requires the following steps and is recommended for best results.
A) Strip back a small portion of the insulation from the wire.
B) Using a small wire pick separate the exposed wire into two groups.
C) Insert the corresponding wire from the kit through the center as if you were threading a needle.
D) Twist the excess wire around the exposed area tightly and wrap with electrical tape.
E) Use a Tie Wrap/ Zip Tie to secure your connection by placing it over the taped portion of the wire where
the junction was made.
Using T-tap connectors:
Be sure to use red T-tap connectors as all the wires that you will be attaching to are of small gauge and
anything larger will create false contacts which will not allow the SYNC system to function properly.
Step 6) Using the supplied adhesive tape mount the microphone to the overhead console and route the cable
that is attached to the microphone to the location where you made your connections and attach to the
harness.
Step 7) Prior to vehicle assembly test your microphone by following the same steps from your test
sequence in step # 1. Once all test well proceed with new mirror installation and assemble vehicle.
