Not sure what you mean how to install it. Did you install your AVN unit?

My iPC106 is installed under the center stack next to the manual shifter on the transmission tunnel. I used some velcro to keep it from rattling around. For wiring, it's one plug that goes to the back of the AVN headunit and then the power and ground wires that you can tap into the power and ground going to your AVN.

Here's a tip/issue that I ran into.

When installing, make sure you set the two selector switches to the correct position ( the a/b switches) before connecting the power harness. Once the unit has power you cannot move the switches and change the setup without disconnecting the power first.

Otherwise it's really straightforward as mentioned above.

If i'm not mistaken, it needs to be hooked to the +12v, which would be the yellow wire that is behind your headunit. The 'switched' power I believe is bundled in the barrel connector that hooks to the rear of the headunit. I'm pretty sure that is how mine is hooked up. It's been 2 years since I installed mine.

Whenever working on electrical elements in a car, it's always a good idea to disconnect the negative battery terminal.

He's right about the wire behind the unit. Whichever has a fuse on it is the 12v constant source, i think it was yellow...

You do need to disconnect the battery when installing this, leaving it on could cause issues if you ground something out during the install. Better safe than sorry...
