Auxiliary input adapters are passive devices that transfer audio information from any audio device (iPod, MP3 Player, DVD, Game, Computer and etc) directly to the radios CD Changer or SAT port. Most if not all auxiliary input adapters require that you disconnect the external cd changer or xm tuner. Auxiliary input adapters unlike FM Modulators provide the best sound quality because they connect directly to the radios audio input. In this tutorial we will illustrate and diagram Peripheral PXDX installation in a 2008 VW Rabbit. (Dash disassemble instructions also apply in 2005-08 NEW JETTA, 2008 GLI, 2006- 08GTI, 2008 R32)
The PXDX interface will allow you to connect a line level audio input directly into the vehicle’s factory radio without the use of a noisy RF modulator. Keep in mind that the PXDX is a Universal Auxiliary input adapter and can be used in over 150 vehicles on the road today (a vehicle specific harness is required)
WARNING!!
If the car’s battery or the radio’s power plugs are disconnected, the radio will not operate without re-entering the security-code. If you have access to the security-code, feel comfortable disconnecting the battery and the radio’s power connectors. Otherwise, do not disconnect the battery and exercise extreme caution while handling exposed 12V power or ground wires/connectors.
1. Installation at the Radio
In this section you will learn how to install the PXDX behind the radio using the PXHVW3 harness. (See Fig. 1) Installation to the prewired harness in the trunk/hatch is possible using the PXHVW1. If your vehicle is equipped with a factory CD changer or other external audio source, you will need to disconnect it from the back of the radio in order to connect the PXDX interface.
