INSTALLATION
Exact installation will vary depending on the car that this is being fitted to. The below is a guide only.
THIS IS NOT FOR USE ON CARS WITH MOST FIBRE OPTICS. ONLY FOR USE ON CARS WITH D2B FIBRE OPTICS.
Use the 2.5 meter ISO extension provided with the 20-319 to run the speaker leads up to the back of the new radio
in the dashboard.
If your car doesn’t have steering wheel controls then use part 10-150/2.5 (power ISO extension) to also run power
from the orignal amplifier wiring to the new radio. This part is sold seperately.
If you car has steering wheel controls, then disregard the black 8 pin ISO connection on the 20-319 as it will not be
needed and use either part 29-645 or 20-134-SWC to connect to the steering wheel controls and power the new
radio.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CABLE IS ONLY FOR NISSAN ELGRANDS WITH THEATRE SOUND. NOT SUITABLE FOR CARS
WITH BOSE AMPLIFIERS.
Do not connect the D2B wakeup to the remote turn on wire of the aftermarket radio. This needs connecting to the
D2B wakeup wire in the car which is usually blue/black and is connected to all modules in the D2B fibre optic loop.
Only the 23-246-CD has this pre-pinned into the loom, the 23-246-B and 23-246-ISO will need to be hard wired to
the D2B wakeup wire.

Notes on fitting.
The D2B fibre optic network runs in a ring around the car between the different components of the system. If the
fibre optic loop is broken then no component on the system will work, the loop must remain intact and every
component in the system must receive the wakeup signal.
Some vehicles that have faulty or incorrectly configured original components will have issues with the wakeup
signal not working properly after the head unit has been changed.
On these occasions, the most reliable way to fix the problem is to remove the other components and connect the
interface directly to the amplifier, shortening the D2B loop. For this to happen the D2B cables will either have to
be taken from other parts of the system or the connections to the other modules spliced together with the correct
Mercedes Benz fibre optic splice.
Once removed from the modules, the D2B cables can be taken apart by pulling the grey locking tab up on the
connector at the end of the cable.
On straight connectors, the cables can then be pulled back, out of the connector.
On right angle connectors, they can then be split apart and the cables removed.
Be careful not to touch the ends of the fibre optic cables, to avoid damage or dirt blocking the signal.
If there are not suitable spare D2B cables from the now unused modules on the car to connect the interface and
the amplifier together into their own loop then the Mercedes fibre optic splice with part number A005453384 can
be used to connect the cables together.
Where you fit the interface will depend on the D2B cables or splices you have available to connect the interface to
the amp.
23-246-CD has a pre-made cable to connect permanent live, ground and D2B wakeup from the original connection
to the CD changer which is located near the amp in most cars.
23-246-ISO has an ISO connection to make fitting the interface behind the new head unit easier.
23-246-B has a universal hard wired cable to be fitted anywhere in the vehicle.
