Frequency Selection Tips

For best results, select a frequency below

90.1 FM.
When searching for an appropriate FM

frequency on your FM stereo, look for

an unused frequency that has steady,

consistent static. If you hear slight noises

and sounds in the background of the

static, select a different frequency.
As you travel, you might need to change

the frequency for the FM transmitter.

A frequency not used by a radio station

in your area might be used by a station

elsewhere.

FM Transmitter

Information

The FM transmitter is intended to

transmit nüvi audio to your FM stereo.
Do not adjust your FM settings while

you are driving your vehicle.

The distance between the vehicle power

cable, the nüvi, and the FM stereo

antenna might also affect the noise

level. Vehicles with antennas located far

away, such as a rear-mounted antenna,

might experience more interference from

outside noise sources than vehicles with

front-mounted antennas.
As you drive, you might notice changes

in the background static even though

there is no FM station using that

channel. You might notice this as you

drive through intersections where certain

kinds of traffic lights or other municipal

electronic systems are operating. You

might also notice this effect when the

terrain changes, allowing distant stations

to be received by your car stereo that

were not received when you made your

initial frequency selection. These and

other sources of electrical interference

might make it necessary to look for

another frequency.
