Installation Preparation
This chapter provides information required for the installation
of the IPOD2CAR ADAPTER, it must be read by all users.
Thank you for purchasing the IPOD2CAR ADAPTER. Since the IPOD2CAR ADAPTER will works in
many different vehicles the following steps must be taken to ensure the IPOD is set up correctly for the vehicle
it is being installed in.
Before Installation
To prevent damage to your vehicle and the IPOD take the following precautions.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the
battery cable. If the battery cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions,
use extra caution to avoid causing a short circuit during installation. If your radio has a security code make
sure you know the code and how to enter it prior to removing the battery cable. The radio will require
this code to operate when the battery terminal is reconnected.
1. Do not install the unit in the following locations:
A. Locations exposed to direct sunlight
B. Locations where hot air flows from the cars heater
First Step (For All Vehicles)
The first and most important step in using the IPOD2CAR ADAPTER is setting the dip-switches on the black
box; this makes the IPOD compatible with the vehicle it is being installed in. The IPOD2CAR ADAPTER
will not work if this step is not followed correctly.
The dip switches can be found on the side of the black plastic box which connects to the IPOD. Switches are
in the “ON” position when they are switched down. Black box settings for each vehicle can be found on the
vehicles installation page. Refer to the index to find the page number within this manual that covers your
vehicle.
