INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting to the Zune™ player
1. Plug the CarPlay Wireless Plus dock connector
into your Zune player.
2. Plug the CarPlay Wireless Plus power
adapter into your car’s 12V accessory outlet
(cigarette lighter socket).
3. Choose your station by pressing one of the three
preset memory buttons (see Setting “Favorite
Station” Preset Buttons below).
4. Tune your FM radio to the same channel
as indicated on the CarPlay Wireless Plus.
5. Press the ‘Play’ button on your Zune player.
6. Use your car radio’s volume knob to adjust
sound level.
Setting “Favorite Station”
Preset Buttons
CarPlay Wireless Plus features three programmable
“favorite station” memory presets. The left, middle
and right buttons represent station presets 1, 2 and
3, respectively. Select stations on your car stereo
that are “quietest,” i.e. the most free of strong
radio station signals. These may change depending
on where you are. To program:
1. Press and hold button 3 (also identified as ‘M’)
for one second. All buttons will flash, indicating
“station selection” mode.
2. Press buttons 1 or 2 (also identified as ‘+’ and ‘-‘)
to scroll FM radio frequencies up or down.
3. Once you’ve selected a station, press and hold
any one of the three buttons for one second
to set that station into memory and exit station
selection mode. Your selection will be confirmed
in the display as 1, 2 or 3.
4. After your station is set, the unit will
automatically go back to its default ‘Preset’
memory mode, where pressing the 1-3 buttons
recall your default preset stations. To place more
stations in to memory, repeat steps 1 through 3.
Note: While in “station selection” mode, if you
don’t set a station within 10 seconds, the unit will
automatically revert to “Preset” memory mode
while temporarily keeping your present station.
Dimming the Display
For easier viewing day or night, press the 1 and 2
buttons at the same time to alternately dim
or brighten the display.
Performance & Safety Tips:
• For best performance, select a CarPlay
Wireless Plus channel that is not occupied
by a strong local FM radio station.
• Select the channel that offers clearest sound
with the least interference. This may take
some experimentation.
• Connect CarPlay Wireless Plus and select
channels BEFORE operating your vehicle;
never while driving.
• The CarPlay Wireless Plus transmitter
strength is regulated and limited by the FCC.
CarPlay Wireless Plus transmits at the power
allowable by law.
• CarPlay Wireless Plus is designed to
transmit within your car’s perimeter
while not interfering with the surrounding
public airways.
• Note: CarPlay Wireless Plus acts just like
a tiny FM radio station, however no FM
transmitter will ever sound like your favorite
50,000 Watt radio station.
• Certain cars may experience more difficulty
receiving clear signals than others. Location
of the antenna can affect signal strength.
Some vehicles have a metallic film in the
windows which can also make it harder
to receive clear signals.
• In dense metropolitan areas, there are cases
where all CarPlay Wireless Plus 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.
• Radio frequencies from local stations can
‘bounce’ from hills and buildings and 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.
Note: Illustrations may vary in appearance from actual product.

*Excluding 87.7MHz and 87.9MHz. Clarity of reception may vary.
