ONDA/ACURA IPOD LOCKPICK INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
This unit is designed for applications in a wide variety of HONDA and ACURA vehicles across many years and models. Advanced features including on-screen text, steering wheel, radio and touch screen control of your iPOD. The IPOD LOCKPICK will operate in XM capable HONDA or ACURA radios (button labeled XM present) without the loss of any factory functions, even if a factory XM tuner is present. Included with your interface are licensed connectors for reliable iPOD operation and stereo AUX input jacks for connection to any other source you would like to play through your factory sound system.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The HONDA/ACURA IPOD LOCKPICK uses a simple “T” harness for installation using factory connectors so there is no need to cut/splice any wires, or locate power, ground and audio. The interface is truly plug and play. The factory connectors are individually keyed so you cannot plug them into the wrong location.
1. VEHICLES WITH OR WITHOUT A FACTORY XM TUNER PRESENT
• The installation of the HONDA/ACURA LOCKPICK is the same for vehicles with or without a factory XM tuner present. After gaining access to the back of the radio, locate the 14 pin connector which matches the connectors of your IPOD LOCKPICK harness. Unplug the factory 14 pin connector and plug it into the female connector of the LOCKPICK harness. Then plug the male end of the harness into the former factory location
2. PROGRAMMING YOUR INTERFACE
• The HONDA/ACURA IPOD interface is universal in application and requires only a simple switch setting to properly program it to match your vehicle and options. The IPOD LOCKPICK is shipped with all switches in the UP position. If your vehicle is already equipped with a factory XM tuner then place switch 4 in the DOWN position. This will program the LOCKPICK for use while in the presence of an XM tuner and prevent conflict between the components. If you have an XM tuner but are not currently subscribed, still place switch 4 in the DOWN position. All other applications where an XM tuner is not present will leave all interface switches in the UP position. After positioning the programming switch, plug the interface into the harness. This will lock in the setting you have selected. If you have made a mistake and need to change the programming setting, unplug the LOCKPICK module first and then change the switch position. If the interface is not unplugged while changing the programming settings, the new programming will not be performed and improper operation may result.
3. CONNECT THE IPOD HARNESS AND/OR AUX INPUT
• Included with your interface is a cable designed to connect an iPOD/iPHONE to the Lockpick. Plug the cable into the Lockpick and the other end into the bottom of the iPOD/iPHONE. If your iPOD does not have a bottom docking connector, it is not compatible with the LOCKPICK interface. Compatible iPODs include NANO, MINI, 4 th and 5 th generation iPODs including photo/video. Also available on your LOCKPICK are AUX input jacks which may be connected to any stereo audio and source and played through your factory sound system.
