Installation Precautions
Installing the O Car in your vehicle requires a good understanding of your car’s electrical
system. If you are not comfortable installing it yourself, we strongly recommend contacting
an approved professional to install the O Car in your vehicle.
O Car is designed for 1DIN (182 x 53mm) installations, with a custom depth to support its frame
(about 185mm).
The electronic part of O Car was designed to operate with a continuous voltage of 12V. However, it
supports operating voltages ranging from 11V to 14.5V. No matter what, your device cannot work
with electrical systems whose voltage is above or below this range.
The O Car cannot be installed on vehicles with a different operating voltage (24-volt trucks, 6-volt
mopeds, etc.).
O Car is designed only for installation in covered vehicles, protecting it from moisture, extreme
heat, and direct exposure to the sun, all of which can damage it.
Electrical Precautions
O Car comes with a 15-amp protective fuse. It is therefore recommended that you check whether
your vehicle is equipped to draw such a current. If it cannot, you must first create the ability for
your vehicle to draw a 15-amp current before continuing.
If the fuse blows, it must be replaced with an equivalent fuse. Replacing the fuse with a higher
voltage can not only destroy your device, but also seriously impact your vehicle’s entire electrical
system.
A blown fuse rarely happens on its own. It is therefore strongly recommended that you check your
entire system before replacing it.

Depending on your vehicle’s ISO mounting, you may have to reverse the position A4 (yellow) and
A7 (red) wires using “rapid” connectors so as not to lose the memory on your device.
3
Despite the consistency of ISO connectors, there are variations in the system whereby some connector positions are used for functions other than those initially assigned by the ISO standard. Also,
it is recommended to pay attention to the use of the wire in position A5.
Although it was originally used for powering a power antenna or an amplifier, it is sometimes also
used for other functions specific to the original car radio. In this case, we recommend looking for
another ground or electrical current on the car portion of the ISO connector in this position and
checking that it really corresponds to a power antenna control.
To avoid damaging your device, if you are uncertain about anything, we recommend disconnecting
the wire using the current connector and insulating both sides using insulating tape.
Description of Inputs and Outputs

Installing the Microphone (required for hands-free functionality)
For better communication quality, we recommend positioning your microphone at the top corner of
your windshield on the driver’s side (toward the driver).
During telephone communications, we recommend closing the windows of your vehicle to prevent
the movement of the air from disturbing the microphone.
Obviously, we recommend using caution during telephone calls and keeping your eyes on the road.

Bluetooth Pairing
To use the hands-free key for your car radio, you must pair the integrated Bluetooth system with
the one on your iPhone.
To do this, run a search on your iPhone for a Bluetooth device until it detects a device called “OCar
BT”. Select it, enter the code “0000”, and press OK. O Car confirms the pairing of the two devices
with a long beep, followed by three short beeps. Three consecutive beeps confirm that the two
devices are no longer connected.
When devices are connected, the Bluetooth module will cut the program sound when sending or
receiving a telephone call, and it will restore the program at the end of the call.
Using Other Applications
O Car amplifies sound in any application.
Whether you want to play a game, use the Internet telephone, listen to music stored in the iPod
application, or simply use the Internet, O Car will become your car’s multimedia interface.
Recommendations for Use
Please use common sense while driving.
Safety must always take priority over enjoyme nt, especially when driving. We recommend using
visual applications (such as Internet, video games, movies, etc.) only when you are stopped and the
engine is off.
Additional safety is built into our “SOUND” application (see (7) on page 10) when playing a video
file from O Car. Unless you are safely parked, we recommend directing video signals from your
iPhone to the dedicated video output. This way, no video broadcast can disturb your field of view
while driving.
Do not exert significant pressure on the cradle’s arm or the cradle itself, which can cause it to
break.
