1.6 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The base vehicle has been tested and certified
to all relevant legislation relating to
Electromagnetic Compatibility. All retrofitted
equipment must also comply with the relevant
legislation.
In addition, 2-way radio communication and other
equipment with built in radio transmitters (for
example anti-theft alarms, tracking devices)
should only be fitted to the vehicle if they operate
within the listed frequency bands and do not
exceed the maximum transmission output power
specified below

1.6.1 Antenna Location
The antenna can be placed on the roof of the
vehicle with the exception of cellular phone car
kits which transmit power below 2W. Such low
power devices may also be installed at the
bottom of the A-pillar behind the trim or on the
front windscreen.
Installation must be performed by suitably
qualified personnel in accordance with the
equipment manufacturer's installation instructions
and comply with the ISO technical specification
ISO/TS 21609: Road Vehicles - Electromagnetic
Compatibility guidelines for the installation of after
market radio frequency transmitting equipment.
In addition, the following guidelines must be
followed during installation:
•Do not mount any transceiver, microphones,
speakers or any other item in the deployment
path of the airbag system.
•Do not attach antenna cables to any part of
the original vehicle wiring or fuel and brake
pipes.
•Antenna and power cables must be a
minimum of 100mm from any electronic
modules and airbags.
•Make sure that any additional power feed is
taken directly from the SVO fuse box (when
available) or a recommended connection
point.
•Power and ground cables should be of higher
current capacity that the protection fuse.
Ground feed must be taken directly to the
battery.
Post installation checks must be made for
disturbances from and to all electrical equipment
in the vehicle both in the standby and transmit
modes. Checks should be carried out with the
ignition ON, engine running and be followed by a
road test at various speeds.

Information—Specifications
4.9.1 Radio Connector
Multimedia head units (Audio and Navigation) are
connected to the instrument panel wiring via the
Fakra connector see below diagram E74493
NOTE: There is a co-axial cable (green) for the
roof - mounted AM/FM antenna, and depending
on the vehicle, a thin co-axial cable (black) for a
Global Positioning System antenna.
NOTE: Power for Radio - do notswitch the
permanent battery feed (KL 15) and ignition feed
(KL 30) on the radio connection. The ignition feed
15 is only used to 'wake up' the radio.
On Caravan models a mirror mounted antenna
is specified

4.9.2 Possible Accessories
Electric Antenna- Activation line, pin B2
(Switched Accessory +) is switched: 0 Volts when
the radio is switched off and +12 Volts when the
radio is switched on.
Auxiliary Input- Accepts a line-out from a
personal stereo or digital media player. This can
be supported by left channel pin C5 (+) and right
channel pin C11 (+) with a common ground, pin
C6, wired to a jack plug socket.
Audio Mute- There is a requirement under the
Health and Safety Machinery Directive to mute
the radio when machinery is in operation - this is
necessary to hear audible alarms and signals.
Pin B5 (C3-5 on the electrical schematic) on the
FAKRA interface should be used for this. In order
to avoid electrical issues due to leakage, and to
ensure connector compatibility, a connector
insert and a pre-crimped wire and terminal are
available as part of a wiring accessory kit, should
be used (Kit Part number KT6C1V-14A411-L*).
NOTE: When this line is pulled low (ground),
radio / CD sound is muted. However, there is no
wire present in the harness as this function is
normally communicated through the CAN bus.
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
(Adding Connectors, Terminals and Wiring)
After Market Hands Free Telephone Kit
(Non CAN-based)- Power should be supplied
via a fused battery line and activated by the
accessory line, pin A16. The mute line from the
phone is connected to Phone Transceiver Active,
pin B5. The audio output from the phone kit
should be fed into pins B1 (+) and B7 (–). The
phone audio is then amplified and diverted
through vehicle speakers.
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
Adding Connectors, Terminals and Wiring (for
Phone Transceiver Active / Speaker Terminals
and Wires).
After Market Audio / Navigation (Non
CAN-based)- Power should be supplied via a
fused battery line and activated by accessory
line, pin A16. Auxiliary input is connected as per
above.
NOTE: Note: Vehicle speed and reverse are
now CAN messages and supplied via the vehicle
multimedia bus, A9 (+) and A10 (-). There is no
hard wired Vehicle Speed Signal or reverse signal
available.
Additional Rear Speakers- Camper
vehicles, typically, are only equipped with
speakers in the front doors, in which case at
end-of-line the vehicle will be programmed for
just the front speakers and the fade function
disabled on the radios. If the radio is set for four
speakers, and those at the rear are absent, a
fault code will be flagged. The vehicle would need
reconfiguring at a Dealer once speakers are
installed. The radio will output 17W per channel
(left and right); a wire size with a CSA of 0.75 is
recommended.
