2.5 Installation at the Radio
In this section you will learn how to install the Audio2car behind the radio. If your vehicle is
equipped with a factory CD changer or other external audio source, you will need to discon-
nect it from the back of the radio in order to connect the Audio2car interface.
1. Carefully remove the radio from the vehicle. If your radio uses a Security Code, make sure
that you have the code before unplugging the radio. Some vehicles require the use of special
tools to remove the radio. Please consult your vehicle’s dealership or a local car audio pro-
fessional for instruction or assistance with radio removal if necessary.
2. Make any necessary wiring connections on your vehicle specic harness. Please see
section 2.3 for details on making these wiring connections.
3. Connect the Vehicle Specic Harness to the CD changer port on the back of the radio. Be
sure to make a rm connection but do not force it. If there is difculty making the connection,
please consult the application guide to conrm your vehicle specic harness selection.
4. Now that the interface is connected to the radio, you will need to test the operation of the
interface before permanently running the
RCA cables or 3.5mm headphone cable
or re-as-
sembling the dash. First, connect the
RCA cables or 3.5mm headphone cable
to the Mobile
Device. The Mobile Device should indicate that it is being charged. Turn on the factory radio
and press the button that would activate the factory CD changer to select the Mobile Device.
It may take up to three minutes for the interface to initialize to the radio (this only happens
the very rst time you select the Mobile Device). Once the Mobile Device has been selected,
press Play on the Mobile Device. You should be able to hear the music on your Mobile Device
through your factory radio. With the operation of the interface conrmed, you may continue
with the installation. If you experience difculties in operation, please see our troubleshoot-
ing chart in section 3.2.

tion to not cut, pinch, or crimp the cable during this step. Avoid moving parts, vehicle wiring
harnesses and areas of excessive heat when routing the cable.
7. Secure the interface in the dash cavity behind the radio using; double sided tape, Velcro or
wire ties. Make sure to check for proper clearance and avoid moving parts. Take into account
the size of the interface and the wire harness and do not force the interface and harness into
a space that is too tight, damage to the harness may result.
