Signat iPod interface S857905 - Manual

iPod interfaces
UNIVERSAL
There are several ways of getting the sound of an iPod through the car’s loudspeakers. As a universal iPod interface Signat offers the
S857905, a very comfortable solution. The two supplied cables allow for a connection of an iPod or any other MP3 player. With its
high-grade galvanically isolated FM modulator ánd the supplied antenna-adapters, this interface can be installed in nearly any car
type. The S857905 uses FM modulation to reproduce the iPod/MP3 sound via the car radio: simply choose the 87.7 or 87.9 FM fre-
quency at the radio and all the music of the iPod/MP3 player comes through the car’s loudspeakers. It becomes even more easy
when the 87.7 or 87.9 frequency is stored under one of the preset buttons. And all of this is possible without any loss of sound quality.

CAR SPECIFIC
Another way of directing the iPod’s sound via the loudspeakers of
the car is to apply a car-specific interface. It depends on the fea-
tures of the OE (original equipment) radio in which way the iPod
interface can be connected. For example a Mitsubishi has to have
a radio with an aux-input; the iPod interface is connected to the
aux-input and then the control of the iPod is limited to the volume.
CAR SPECIFIC WITH CONTROL
The ultimate iPod interface allows the functions of the iPod to be
controlled by the original audio buttons in the car while its music
sounds over the car’s loudspeakers. This is exactly what the
Signat car specific interfaces can realize in e.g. Honda, Kia,
Suzuki, Toyota and VW car types. By connecting the interface to
the cd-changer input of the OE radio, the original audio buttons
(at the radio or at the steering wheel) can control many features
of the iPod, like track changing and track skipping. The OE dis-
play will indicate all of this, while the intervention of RDS mes-
sages will be maintained.
Some of these interfaces also feature an additional input for
another sound source; this allows for even more in-car musical
entertainment.
In the same way Signat has developed a range of iPod interfaces
for brand specific radios with cd-changer control. Instead of the
cd-changer, the iPod will function as the external sound source.
In all cases the connection of an Signat interface implicates also
the charging of the iPod battery. The interfaces are suitable for all
iPod models: iPod3, iPod4, Nano, Mini, Video, Installing a Signat
iPod interface is always an extremely easy plug&play solution.
