VEHICLE INSTALLATION

Intro

Thank you for purchasing the Aux2Car interface. This interface will allow you

to connect a line level audio input to you vehicle’s factory radio without the

mobile video, satellite radio, MP3 players or other hand held media devices to

your factory radio.

installation of the Aux2Car adaptor, it must be read by all users.

Thank you for purchasing the Aux2Car adaptor. Since the

to ensure that it is set up correctly for the vehicle it is being installed in.

Before Installation

tions.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is equipped with an on-board drive or navigation com-

puter, do not disconnect the battery cable
