PAC APH-FD02 Speaker Connection Harness User Manual

1. Přesview

The PAC APH-FD02 Speaker Connection Harness is an essential accessory designed to simplify the integration of aftermarket audio components, such as amplifiers or digital signal processors (DSPs), into select Ford vehicles equipped with a factory B&O amplified audio system. This harness provides a plug-and-play solution, allowing you to tap into the factory speaker wiring without the need for cutting or splicing, preserving the integrity of your vehicle's original wiring harness. It facilitates a clean and reversible installation, making audio upgrades more accessible and less intrusive.

2. Bezpečnostní informace

Please read and understand all instructions before beginning installation. Improper installation can lead to vehicle damage, electrical issues, or personal injury. Always prioritize safety.

• Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal before starting any electrical work to prevent short circuits and damage.
• Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to avoid electrical shorts.
• Do not force connectors. If a connector does not fit, re-check the harness and vehicle's port for compatibility.
• If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified professional installer.
• Keep the harness away from moving parts, heat sources, and sharp edges.

4. Nastavení a instalace

4.1. Než začnete

• Gather necessary tools: wire strippers/crimpers (if connecting to aftermarket components), electrical tape or heat shrink, zip ties, and a trim panel removal tool.
• Identify the location of your vehicle's factory B&O amplifier. This is typically found under a seat, behind a trim panel, or in the trunk. Consult your vehicle's service manual if unsure.
• Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the negative battery terminal is disconnected.

4.2. Kroky instalace

1. Access the Factory Ampživější: Carefully remove any trim panels or seats necessary to gain access to the factory B&O ampživější.
2. Disconnect Factory Harness: Locate the main speaker output harness connected to the factory amplifier. Carefully disconnect it.
3. Connect APH-FD02: Plug one end of the APH-FD02 harness into the now-empty port on the factory amplifier. Plug the factory harness you just disconnected into the corresponding connector on the APH-FD02 harness. This creates a pass-through connection.
4. Connect Aftermarket Components: The remaining wires on the APH-FD02 harness are designed to connect to your aftermarket amplifier or DSP. Refer to the included wiring diagram for specific wire functions (e.g., front left positive, front right negative, etc.). Connect these wires to the high-level inputs of your aftermarket amplifier or to your DSP.
5. Bezpečné zapojení: Route and secure all wiring using zip ties to prevent rattles or damage. Ensure wires are not pinched or exposed to sharp edges.
6. Znovu připojte baterii a otestujte: Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal. Turn on the vehicle and test the audio system thoroughly. Verify that all speakers are functioning correctly and that the aftermarket components are receiving and processing the signal as intended.
7. Znovu sestavit: Once testing is complete and satisfactory, reassemble any removed trim panels or seats.

4.3. Important Notes on Compatibility and Modifications

• While the APH-FD02 is designed for select Ford vehicles with B&O systems, some specific models (e.g., certain years of Ford Maverick or Ranger) may require minor modifications to the harness connectors (e.g., trimming a small offset) for a perfect physical fit, even if the pin assignments are correct.
• The included instructions may reference older model years (e.g., 2018-2019 Fords). Always cross-reference pin assignments with up-to-date vehicle-specific wiring diagrams available online or from professional resources to ensure accurate connections for your specific vehicle year and model.
• This harness bypasses the factory amplifier's output stage. If your aftermarket amplifier or DSP does not have equalization capabilities, you may be limited to the factory DSP settings, which could affect sound quality. Consider a DSP with flat signal restoration if this is a concern.
