INSTALLING THE BLUETOOTH® RECEIVER

LOCATION:

Choosing a proper location for your Bluetooth® receiver unit will have the greatest overall
effect on the performance of this system. 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.
