Gain access to the factory radio’s rear panel. The CRZNAUX2 connects directly
to the rear panel of the factory radio. Full or partial disassembly of the dash will be

necessary. If you are unsure of this procedure, please consult a factory service manual or have the work
performed by a mobile electronics specialist. Pay special attention to warnings or instructions regarding
working near airbags, other safety devices, or security systems.

Connect the appropriate CRZNAUX2 harness to the factory radio. The
CRZNAUX2 comes with two vehicle-specifi c harnesses. Carefully review both

harness options on page 3 and compare both harnesses with the connectors on your factory radio’s rear
panel. Use the harness that matches your radio’s connectors. Plug the male connector of the appropriate
CRZNAUX2 harness into the matching location on the factory radio’s rear panel.

If your vehicle requires Harness Option B, shown on page 3, you must also connect the attached
yellow wire. Connect the yellow wire to a constant +12V power source (vehicle battery). We DO NOT
recommend the +12V constant in the factory radio harness due to the possibility of excessive voltage
drop during vehicle starting.

Assemble the components shown on page 2 and connect them to the
CRZNAUX2 module. Use the diagrams on pages 2 and 3 to assemble the

components that will connect to and control your Zune device.

Power connector wiring. Connect the black wire of the power connector shown on page 3
to a clean, bare-metal chassis ground. When in doubt, measure the resistance between potential grounding
points and the vehicle battery using a multimeter. Choose a grounding point with equivalent resistance
as other grounded components in the audio system. Connect the red wire to a +12V switched (ignition)
power source. This wire requires a 12V, 1500mA inline fuse. MAKE CERTAIN THAT REPLACEMENT FUSES
MATCH THESE SPECIFICATIONS.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Turn the ignition off.

Ensure the factory radio is turned off.

Installation

Installation

Operation

Mount all components. Mount the CRZNAUX2 module behind or under the dash
(mounting hardware not included). Be careful not to drill into wiring or vehicle

mechanisms. You are solely responsible for securely fastening the CRZNAUX2 in your vehicle. Make
certain that wires and cables cannot be damaged by screws, clips, or sharp, exposed pieces of metal.

Ensure that the Zune dock connector is left in a convenient place for connection to your Zune device.
Plug the Zune dock connector in straight. Do not insert the connector at an angle or wiggle the connector
during insertion.

Please read the Operation section on the following page and test the installation before reassembling the
vehicle dash, trim panels, and audio systems.

Controlling your Zune device
The CRZNAUX2 will not provide control of your Zune device unless you attach the optional remote, which
is available separately. Please visit www.soundgate.com or your local mobile audio dealer for details on
the CRZNAUX2 remote’s availability.

Activating the CRZNAUX2

Turn on the ignition and factory radio.

Ensure that your Zune device is connected and playing audio.

Wait several seconds for the factory radio and the CRZNAUX2 to synchronize. Press the

MODE

button

your

factory

radio.

The factory radio’s display will report Disc 1, Track 1—you should hear audio from your Zune
device through your vehicle’s audio system.

To deactivate the CRZNAUX2 and switch your radio back to its normal mode, simply press the

MODE

button.

NOTE

If the radio’s display does not report Disc 1, Track 1 after pressing the MODE button and
you do not hear music from your Zune device, turn the radio and ignition off. Disconnect
the CRZNAUX2 harness from the factory radio’s rear panel. Wait 30 seconds, then
reconnect the harness. Repeat steps 1–3 above.

This initialization process, if necessary at all, will only need to be performed during the
initial installation.
