wiring instructions

THe pdf with installation instructions doesn't include how to actually wire the connections. I assume that is a separate set of instructions or am I missing something. How difficult are the wiring connections?

I have the blitzsafe M-Link, and the dock plugs directly into that. From there, the blitzsafe comes with a harness that connects directly to the back of the stereo. It is REALLY simple. Check out this link:

The red splitter interface is exactly the same.

To recap:
- Remove stereo and climate controls
- Remove ashtray
- Drill hole in ashtray
- Run cable from dock, through hole in ashtray, plug into Blitzsafe or other adapter
- Plug Blitzsafe adapter into stereo
- Re-plug all other stereo connectors (power, antenna, etc.)
- Put everything back together

NOTE - If you unplug the power from the stereo, make sure that you have your unlock key (four digits) because you may need it when you power-up after the install.

Does the BlitzSafe allow for iPod control through the steering wheel though?

Which M-Link was it, do you have a part number? Sorry for the bump in an old thread....
