Vehicle Specific Notes

Acura/Honda

• Navigation radios are not compatible

Audi

• Vehicles equipped with a "Symphony Sound" system require the AB-AUDIF harness as well as the AB-VWF harness.

Buick/Cadillac/Chevrolet/GMC/Hummer/Oldsmobile/Pontiac

• Radio must be equipped with a "TAPE/AUX" button or a "CD/AUX" button to be compatible.
• 1995-1999 radios that have a built in CD player (except Corvette) are not compatible because they do not have CD Changer control functions
• 1998-2004 GM vehicles NOT equipped with a factory slave unit may not be able to support an external device therefore the AUX-BOX may not be compatible

Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep

• Radio MUST have "Disc ^" printed on preset number one
• 1999 Chrysler vehicles have one of two different style radios. These two radios use different harnesses. The shape of the radio face will determine which harness you will use. If your radio face is SQUARE, you will use the AB-CHR95 harness. If your radio face is OVAL, you will use the AB-CHR99 harness.
• 2002-2005 Vehicles: Radio models REF, REC, RAK & RAQ are not compatible. The model number is indicated on the face of the radio.

Ford/Lincoln/Mercury

• Not compatible in Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicles equipped with a Blaupunkt sound system

Toyota/Lexus/Scion

Volkswagen

• Navigation radios are not compatible
• Whenever possible, we reccomend using the AB-VWF or the AB-VW3 harness and install the module behind the radio. This will avoid the possibility of inherent noise problems with the factory CD Changer cable that is found in some vehicles
• Double-DIN radios use the AB-VW3 harness
• Single-DIN radios use the AB-VWF harness
