How do I replace the lithium battery in the remote commander for the SONY CDX-G1201U?

When the battery becomes weak, the range of the remote commander becomes shorter. Under normal conditions, the battery will last approximately 1 year.

To replace it, slide the tray out and replace the old battery with a new one of the same or equivalent type, ensuring the + side is facing up.

CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Notes on the lithium battery:

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 ensure 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.


What are the safety cautions for installing the SONY CDX-G1201U?

Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point.

Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, 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.


What precautions should be taken when choosing an installation location for the SONY CDX-G1201U?

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 safe and secure installation.

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 45°.


How do I make the power and speaker connections for the SONY CDX-G1201U (US, CND, E, EA, AR, KR, IND, AUS models)?

Follow these steps to make the connections:

1. To a common ground (earth) point: First connect the black ground (earth) lead, then connect the yellow and red power supply leads.

2. To the +12 V power terminal which is energized at all times: Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point.

3. To the +12 V power terminal which is energized when the ignition switch is set to the accessory position: If there is no accessory 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 ground (earth) point.

4. To the power antenna (aerial) control lead or the power supply lead of the antenna (aerial) booster: It is not necessary to connect this lead if there is no power antenna or booster. To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional power amplifier: This connection is only for amplifiers and a power antenna. Connecting any other system may damage the unit.


How do I correctly connect the power supply leads for the SONY CDX-G1201U based on my car’s wiring?

Match the connections of the cords correctly depending on your car’s auxiliary power connector.

Common connection:

Connect the yellow lead to the continuous power supply.

Connect the red lead to the switched power supply.

When the positions of the red and yellow leads are inverted:

Connect the yellow lead to the switched power supply.

Connect the red lead to the continuous power supply.

When the car is without an ACC position:

Connect both the red and yellow leads to the continuous power supply terminal.

After matching the connections and switching the power supply leads correctly, connect the unit to the car’s power supply. If you have questions, consult your car dealer.


How do I use the Subwoofer Easy Connection feature on the SONY CDX-G1201U?

You can use a subwoofer without a power amplifier when it is connected to a rear speaker cord. Use a subwoofer with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω, and with adequate power handling capacities to avoid damage.


What are the requirements for speaker connection and memory hold on the SONY CDX-G1201U?

Memory hold connection:

When the yellow power supply lead is connected, power will always be supplied to the memory circuit even when the ignition switch is turned off.

Speaker connection:

Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.

Use speakers with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω, and with adequate power handling capacities to avoid damage.
