what do you need to know?

the w3 utilizes the analog spectra ignition harness assembly and an old style "Y" cable w/ a 15 pin pigtail that this ignition cable plugs into.

the HHCH plugs into the other pigtail and the db25 male goes into the left DB25 on the radio.

top left button on the HHCH powers up the radio


read/write using standard spectra 15 pin programming cable on the BACK OF THE RADIO.

Thanks, I was not sure about the 15 pins connector, and the ignition cable but I tried something and it works just fine!
