cal pick-up to or from the CN2 of the SERVO board, follow the 
procedure given below.

Note: When soldering the short lands, solder within 5 seconds at the tem-

perature of soldering iron below 300°C.

Disconnection:
1.  Solder two shortland.
2. Disconnect the fl exible board from the CN2 of the SERVO 

board.

Connection:
1. Connect 

the 

fl exible board to the CN2 of the SERVO board.

2.  Unsolder two shortland.

ABOUT  THE  SECURITY  FUNCTION
This unit does not use security function by password lock.

Under normal conditions, the battery will last 
approximately 1 year. (The service life may be 
shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)
When the battery becomes weak, the range of the 
remote commander becomes shorter. Replace the 
battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use of 
any other battery may present a risk of fire or 
explosion. 

Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children. 
Should the battery be swallowed, immediately 
consult a doctor.
Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good 
contact.
Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing 
the battery.
Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, 
otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

Run all ground (earth) leads to a common gr ound 
(earth) point.
This unit is designed for negative ground (earth) 12 V 
DC operation only.
Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
Do not install in locations which interfere with airbag 
operation.
Do not get the leads under a scr ew, or caught in 
moving parts (e.g. seat railing).
Before making connections, turn the car ignition off 
to avoid short circuits.
Connect the yellow and red power supply leads 
only after all other leads have been connected.
Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads 
with electrical tape for safety.
Do not press on the LCD when installing the unit.
Install the unit with the monitor facing straight 
forward; do not install it at a slanted angle.

When c onnecting this unit in combination with other 
stereo components, the amperage  rating of the car 
circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher 
than the sum of each c omponent's fuse amper age 
rating.
If no car circuits are rated high enough, connect the 
unit directly to the battery.

First connect the black ground (earth) lead, then connect the 
yellow and red power supply leads.

It is not necessar y to connect this lead if there is no power 
antenna (aerial) or antenna (aerial) booster, or with a 
manually-oper ated telescopic antenna (aerial).
If your car has a built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the r ear/
side glass, see “Notes on the control and power supply leads. ”

This connection is only for amplifiers. Connecting any other 
system may damage the unit.

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a 
common gr ound (earth) point.

If there is no a ccessory position, connect to the +12 V power 
(battery) terminal which is energized at all times. 
Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a 
common gr ound (earth) point.
If your car has a built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the r ear/
side glass, see “Notes on the control and power supply leads. ”

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a 
common gr ound (earth) point.

The mounting position of the parking brake switch cord depends 
on your car. For details, see “Connecting the parking brake lead 
(

)” on the reverse side .

Tip
You can use an RCA pin  cord (not supplied) to connect auxiliary 
devices.

REM OUT lead (blue/white striped) supplies +12 V DC when you turn 
on the unit.
If your car has built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the r ear/side 
glass, connect REM OUT lead (blue/white striped) or the a ccessory 
power supply lead (red) to the power terminal of the existing 
antenna (aerial) booster. For details, consult your dealer.
A power antenna (aerial) without a relay box cannot be used with 
this unit.

Memor y hold connection
When the yellow power supply lead is c onnected, power will always 
be supplied to the memor y circuit even when the ignition switch is 
turned off.

Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.
Use speak ers with an impedanc e of 4 to 8 ohms,  and with 
adequate power handling c apacities to avoid damage .
Do not connect the speak er terminals to the car chassis, or connect 
the terminals of the right speakers with those of the left speak ers.
Do not connect the ground (earth) lead of this unit to the negative 
(–) terminal of a speaker.
Do not attempt to connect the speak ers in parallel.
Connect only passive speak ers. Connecting active speakers (with 
built-in amplifiers) to the speak er terminals may damage the unit.
To avoid a malfunction, do not use the built-in speak er leads 
installed in your car if they feature a common negative (–) lead for 
the right and left speakers.
Do not connect the unit’s speak er leads to each other.

If [Check Audio Output Wiring] appears in the display, make sure 
the speak er and amplifier are connected correctly.
To use the monitor for the rear seats,  connect the parking brake 
switch cord to the ground (earth).

from instruction manual.

Choose the installation location carefully so that the 
unit will not interfere with normal driving operations.
Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, 
excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in 
direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a saf e 
and secure installation.
To move the front panel smoothly, to insert/eject a 
disc easily, and especially to drive safely, keep an 
adequate distance between the front panel and the 
shift lever. The necessar y distance differs, depending 
on the shift lever position of your car. Before 
installing the unit, choose the installation location 
carefully so that you can drive safely. ( see fig.  

.)

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 45°.

XAV-602BT is the model used f or illustration purposes, 
unless otherwise noted.

Be sure to connect the parking brake lead (light green) 
of the power supply connection cable 

 to the 

parking brake switch cord.

Caution
Handle the bracket 

 carefully to avoid injuring your 

fingers.

Note
The form of the frame and loc ation of the catch may diff er depending 
on the model.

You can adjust the projecting part of the unit when 
the unit is mounted.

If you secure the frames 

 with the screw holes 

 (default 

position), it will maximize the projecting part of the unit. On the 
other hand, screw holes 

 will minimize the projecting part.

Choose the same scr ew hole position on both frames.
If you intend to secure the frames with scr ew holes 

 or 

, make 

sure that there is enough spac e in the dashboard of your car for the 
unit.

Note
If the catches are straight or bent outwards, the unit will not be 
installed securely and may spring out.

You may be able to install this unit in some mak es of 
Japanese cars without the supplied bracket. If you 
cannot, consult your Sony dealer.

When mounting this unit to the preinstalled brackets 
of your car, use the supplied screws 

 in the 

appropriate screw holes, based on your c ar: T for 
TOYOTA, M for MITSUBISHI and N for NISSAN.

To avoid a malfunction, install only with the supplied screws 

.

Do not apply excessive force to the buttons of the unit.
Do not press on the LCD.
Before mounting, make sure there is nothing on the top of the unit.

Be sure to set the Auto OFF function. For details, refer 
to the supplied “Operating Instructions.”
The unit will shut off completely and automatically in 
the set time when no sour ce is selected, which 
prevents battery drainage.
If the Auto OFF function has not been set, press and 
hold OFF until the display disappears each time you 
turn the ignition off.

When the installation and connections are completed, 
be sure to press the reset button, which is located 
behind the front panel, with a ballpoint pen, etc.

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one matching 
the amperage  rating stated on the original fuse. If the 
fuse blows,  check the power connection and replace 
the fuse. If the fuse blows again after r eplacement, 
there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case , 
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
