We recommend an area at the rear of the stereo, above the stereo or in the glove box. Locations higher in the dash will provide better operation. Mounting the receiver low in the dash or behind large metal obstructions may cause signal break-up and reduced range. Once installed, switched on, and level-matched, the receiver unit does not require further access by the user.

INSTALLING THE BLUETOOTH® RECEIVER 1. Disconnect negative battery terminal. Remove aftermarket stereo. 2. Connect the Black/White wire (marked with “+”) fused power lead to the “Amp Remote Lead” (amplifier control) wire on the back of the aftermarket stereo. The amp remote wire is usually Blue/white. Consult the owner’s manual of your stereo for further information. If no “Amp Remote Lead” wire is available, then use a switched +12V power source. The switched power lead is usually a Red wire. Connect the Black ground wire from the receiver to chassis ground or to the ground wire of stereo. (Fig. 3) 3. Connect the receiver power cable: Insert tip, twist and lock the plug into the receptacle marked “PWR” on side of receiver unit. (See Fig. 2) 4. Attach the RCA audio cable (included) from the OUTPUT of the receiver to the auxiliary INPUT at the back of your car stereo. If your stereo has no auxiliary input, but is CD changer compatible, additional parts may be available to use with your system. See “SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS” section at the beginning of this manual. (Fig. 2 & 3) 5. Switch the receiver power button to the “ON” position. Leave the receiver power button in the “ON” position and allow your stereo to control its on/off operation. 6. Reconnect the negative battery terminal and power up your stereo. Verify the Bluetooth® receiver has power. (LED should be flashing). If the receiver does not power-up, skip to TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION. 7. Leave stereo power ON. Do not re-install stereo until the LEVEL MATCHING steps are complete. 8. Set your stereo source to Aux input (iPod) or CD changer, depending on your setup.

MENU E-Z TRANSMITTER SETUP NOTE: The Bluetooth® wireless transmitter is designed for use inside and within CLOSE proximity of your vehicle. Range will vary depending on many factors including the size of the vehicle, placement of the receiver, and pre-existing or RF interference. RECEIVER PANELS (FIG. 4) 1. Slide your iPod into the appropriate sized holster (Fig. 6). Three different holsters are included in the kit for various iPod sizes. Turn the holster 90 degrees to twist and lock your iPod into the Bluetooth® transmitter. 2. Plug the transmitter’s 3.5mm cable into the iPod headphone port.

POWER UP & AUTO PAIRING Pairing creates a link between devices with Bluetooth® technology and allows the transmitter to remember the receiver’s unique ID. Your iPod transmitter and receiver will automatically pair up the first time both devices are powered. 1. Press the power button on the side of the transmitter to turn on the unit. 2. The BLUE LED will flash quickly when the two devices are pairing. Once the transmitter and receiver are linked, the LED becomes solid. The initial pairing operation between the two Bluetooth® devices happens within 1-2 seconds. This will not be visible during normal use. When both the RED and BLUE LEDs are on, a PURPLE hue will emit from the LED window. (See LED later in this manual chart for more information.) 3. On initial use, let the Bluetooth® transmitter charge for at least 4 hours. LEVEL MATCHING & RE-INSTALLATION Level matching will eliminate the need to unnecessarily adjust the volume when switching between your iPod and tuner or CD player sources. Your Bluetooth® receiver includes an output adjustment to level-match the iPod to the volume of your stereo tuner or CD player. LEVEL MATCHING STEPS: 1. Set stereo to auxiliary source (iPod) input and adjust volume to 3/4 of maximum. 2. Set iPod volume to 3/4, then select and play a music track. 3. Switch the source selector on your stereo between the iPod, tuner and/or CD player. 4. Note any volume differences between the iPod and other audio source. 5. Use a small flathead screwdriver to adjust the output level located on the side of the Bluetooth® receiver to match volume level of other sources. 6. Once level-matching is complete and you are satisfied with the operation, install the receiver in the chosen location and re-install stereo. Large cable ties and adhesive hook & loop strips are provided in the kit for receiver mounting.
