Removing the Uconnect® (only for vehicles with factory Uconnect®)
1 Remove the factory climate control panel. It is
clipped on and can be removed with a panel
removing tool. Extract the (2) 7mm bolts from
Uconnect® module.
3 Secure the Uconnect® module to the original
location using the 7mm bolts.
2 Disconnect the 24pin OEM connector.
4. NOTE: If Uconnect® module is not disconnected
the Uconnect® system will stay paired with
previously paired phones. The user’s phone may
connect to both Bluetooth devices simultaneously
resulting in unpredictable and potentially distracting
behavior. The feature is not retained by the i509 and
the OEM USB should not be used.
There is no way to integrate the factory SiriusXM tuner. Once the radio is removed, the factory SiriusXM is
removed. As the title states, SiriusXM requires a tuner sold separately. This diagram shows how to integrate the
antenna connection. For vehicles with factory SiriusXM connect the adapter to the factory SiriusXM antenna in the
radio cavity. The factory SiriusXM antenna is located on the passenger side B-pillar. For vehicles without factory
SiriusXM use the antenna that is included with the SXV300 SiriusXM Tuner.

Mounting Brackets
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE CONTINUING. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL DISABLE MANY
FEATURES.
IMPORTANT: During the research and development of this product it was discovered that mounting
tolerance may vary from the vehicle’s trim level to year built. We have added a 1mm tolerance to the
mounting brackets to compensate for such variance in mounting tolerance. Use the guides below as
reference if there are any required adjustments.
Adjust the rear bracket as needed when the top or bottom is protruding or not flushed.
Adjust the side brackets as needed when either side is protruding or not flushed.
