Selecting the 3 FM Station
Memory Presets
iCarPlay Wireless 200
features 3 FM Station Memory
Presets to make it easy for you to quickly select
commonly used channels that you can set (see next
section). You may fi nd, for example, that one frequency
works best in one part of town and another works
better elsewhere.
1. Press the “S” button twice. (This will stop music
playback on the iPod.)
2. Press Right or Left button to select the desired
preset frequency.
3. Press the “S” button to select.
4. Tune your FM radio to the same channel
as indicated on the iPod display screen.
AutoScan FM Frequency Selection
(recommended)
The iCarPlay Wireless 200 features AutoScan
to automatically fi nd the best, clearest FM channel
in your local area. The process takes about a minute.
Remember that as you drive through different areas
the FM signal conditions change, so when driving
long distances, you can repeat the AutoScan selection
whenever FM interference occurs.

music playback on the iPod.)
2. Press the Right or Left button to highlight AutoScan.
3. Press and hold the “S” button for two seconds.
4. AutoScan will begin searching through the entire
FM range to fi nd the best frequency. This may take
up to 1 minute. Then iCarPlay Wireless 200 will
automatically select the best frequency and display
it on the iPod screen. NOTE: After a few seconds
the iPod will return to its regular menu, so it’s
important to note the AutoScan selected frequency
while it’s shown.
6. Tune your FM radio to the same channel.
Manual FM Frequency Selection
1. Press the iCarPlay Wireless 200 “S” button
once. (This will stop music playback
on the iPod.)

FM frequency.

to its regular menu.
4. Tune your FM radio to the same channel.

to any frequencies in the FM range. iCarPlay Wireless
200 will continue to remember these presets even
when both power and the iPod are disconnected,
so they’ll always be ready to use the next time
you need them.
1. Press the “S” button twice. (This will stop music
playback on the iPod.)
2. Press the Right or Left button to highlight the FM
Station Memory Preset that you’d like to change.
3. Press and hold the “S” button for two seconds
to enter Preset tuning.
4. Press Right or Left to scroll tune the desired FM
frequency displayed on the iPod screen.
5. Press the “S” button again. The FM Station Memory
Preset will be set, selected, and the iPod will return
to its regular menu.
International FM Tuning Selection
iCarPlay Wireless 200 works with FM radio systems
worldwide. To select a different tuning system:
1. Press the “S” button THREE TIMES. (This will
stop music playback on the iPod.)
2. Press the Right or Left to select the desired
International Mode.
US: 88.1 - 107.9 MHz (with 0.2 intervals)
Europe: 87.8 - 108.1 MHz, (with 0.1 intervals)

Mode will be set, and the iPod will return

MONSTER SAFETY TIP
Connecting and/or setting iCarPlay Wireless 200 while driving
may cause serious injury and/or death. Drive responsibly—
connect and set iCarPlay Wireless 200 BEFORE operating your
vehicle and pay attention to the road while driving.
Performance & Safety Tips:
• Connect iCarPlay Wireless 200 and select
channels BEFORE operating your vehicle;
never while driving.
• For best performance, select an iCarPlay
Wireless 200 channel that is not occupied
by a strong local FM radio station.
• Select the channel that offers clearest sound
with the least interference. AutoScan can fi nd
this channel automatically. Remember that
signal conditions change as your car moves,
and re-scanning may be necessary.
• The iCarPlay Wireless 200 transmitter
strength is regulated and limited by the FCC.
iCarPlay Wireless 200 transmits at the power
allowable by law.
• iCarPlay Wireless 200 is designed
to transmit within your car’s perimeter
while not interfering with the surrounding
public airwaves.
• Certain cars radios may experience more
diffi culty receiving clear signals than others.
Location of the antenna can affect signal
strength. Some vehicles have a metallic fi lm
in the windows that can also make it harder
to receive clear signals from the iCarPlay
Wireless 200.
• In dense metropolitan areas, there are cases
where all iCarPlay Wireless 200 pre-set
stations are occupied by local radio stations.
Sometimes a station setting next to a local
station may be strong enough to ‘bleed’ over
to the adjacent frequencies. Use manual
tuning to eliminate interference.
• Radio frequencies from local stations can
‘bounce’ from hills and buildings and may
cause momentary interference.
• A steel bridge or parking garage may act like
an antenna, strengthening local and distant
radio station signals. You may need to wait
until you are “over the bridge” or “out
of the structure” for clearest reception.
