6.1 Determination of required confi guration

Before installation of your EGO FLASH, please note which features and connection options are provided by your car audio
system. It is advantageous when your audio has the following: a muting function, phone input and line-in. You can fi nd out
which of these input options your audio system has in the documentation provided.

6.1.1 Vehicle

The EGO FLASH may only be installed in vehicles with 12 V, with the negative terminal connected to the chassis. If no car
audio is installed, an add-on speaker will be required. For the installation of the optional charging cradle, you will require a
model-specifi c mounting that may be purchased from a specialist dealer

6.1.2 Mobile Telephone

®

Operation of the EGO FLASH requires a Bluetooth
telephones online at www.fwd-online.de.

6.1.3 Muting (radio muting)

The muting function (Radio Muting) ensures that the audio sound is turned off during telephone calls. The system
supports the muting function. Your car`s audio documentation will show whether your car audio has a mute option. If your
car audio is not equipped with a muting option, you can install the optionally available Stereo Mute Box to facilitate speaker
muting.

6.1.4 Converting the EGO FLASH into an already-installed Funkwerk hands-free car kit

An adapter cable is available for customers who already own a Funkwerk hands-free car kit (including the Audio 2000,
3000, Audio blue, Audio com, and Audio compact) and who would like to easily convert the EGO FLASH. The adapter cable
connects the EGO FLASH with the ISO cable already installed in your car with your Funkwerk hands-free car kit.

NOTE! This simple converting option is only possible when installing the EGO FLASH without a stereo mute box. To install the
EGO FLASH with the stereo mute box, the stereo mute box’s ISO connecting cable should be used to connect to the vehicle.

6.1.5 Add-on speakers / Car audio telephone connection

The car’s loudspeakers are transferred to the system is by means of switch contacts. These are designed for a peak power
handling of 35 W (Sinus). Loudspeaker power handling exceeding 35 W leads to premature wear on the switching contacts.
For higher outputs, use the telephone connection of the car audio or a 5 W / 4-Ohm satellite speaker. This port is only
designed for voice reproduction.

6.1.6 Car audio line-in input

A car audio with a line-in input option is required for music reproduction in stereo. As an alternative to line-in, the car
audio may have a mini-ISO port (block connector C), a 0.14 in jack socket or a RCA input socket. An appropriate adapter
lead is required for the connection between the EGO FLASH line-out and the line-in version of your audio system. If your
car audio system has no line-in option, you can employ the optionally available Stereo Mute Box for stereo reproduction in
combination with your car’s front speakers.

6.2 Installation locations

q

RISK OF INJURY! Unsuitable installation locations may become a source of injury in an accident (or emergency braking)
situation, or may inhibit the correct functioning of essential safety equipment.

6.2.1 Checking cable lengths

Before you’ve securely installed the components, check that
the installation locations have been selected in such a way
that the cable length is suffi cient to connect the individual
components.

transmits directionally towards the front. For this reason,
during installation, ensure that the antenna faces into the
passenger cell (see Fig. 02). Vertical mounting is ideal.
Metallic screening between the front panel and the passenger
cell, such as metal or metallised plastic panels, are

®

unsuitable and may interfere with the Bluetooth

connection.
Locations behind the dashboard or in a metal-lined glove
compartment are also unsuitable.

A covering in plastic, fabric or wood presents no problems
whatsoever.

Suitable locations for the electronics box:
Passenger side, next to the middle console under the
paneling, model-specifi c installation console (dealer).
Our suggested installation locations are shown in the illustration on the right.

Further unsuitable locations are:
Leg and knee height, potential head impact zone, airbag infl ation space, engine compartment

6.2.3 Selection of the point of installation for the microphone

Suitable for the microphone:
Where voice can reach the microphone unhindered (distance
between the speaker and the microphone should be approx.

13.78 in), on the A-column (between windshield and driver’s
side window), next to the driver‘s sun visor, on the dashboard

Unsuitable for the microphone:
Close to the speakers (less than 31 in), under the dashboard,
