Place the Mounting Disc
1. Find a smooth and flat surface on the dashboard in front of you that is within easy reach but will not
interfere with driving. The CarAudio Connect FM has a built-in microphone and should be as directly
in front of you as possible. See image for some recommended areas.
2. Clean the surface with an alcohol swab if possible, or with a cleaner that can remove any residue from
polish/shine products that have been sprayed on the dash in the past. Please make sure to read all
instructions on the cleaner to make sure it is safe to use on dashboards.
3. Peel away the back of the mounting disc to expose the adhesive and stick it to the dashboard.
Attach the CarAudio Connect FM
The product will magnetically attach to the mounting disc. The product can be easily removed and
stored when not in use.

Phone and Music Controls
CarAudio Connect FM can control some of the main phone functions that you’d use while driving. It
does this via the headphone cable. Mobile phones vary tremendously in terms of what commands work
with them, depending on wireless carrier, manufacturer, and model. Shown below is the common set of
functions with a common set of phones. Your phone may match the button functions shown, or it may vary.
When your car is parked, experiment with which functions work with your phone, and write them down
here.

If you use audio-streaming services Pandora
or iheartradio
, you might be able to use CarAudio Connect
FM to listen to the streaming audio through your car stereo. However, not all phones or audio-streaming
services support this feature. Experiment with your particular app while parked: when it’s playing, see if the
sound comes out of your car speakers. See what happens when you tap the CarAudio Connect FM button.
Tap it once, and then tap it again. Tap it twice slowly, and then more quickly. Your app might play, pause,
skip forward, or skip back.

Turning the Product Off
It is normally not necessary to turn the product off, since turning the car off will usually cut power to the car’s
power plug (also known as a cigarette lighter adapter).
However, some cars have a power plug that stays on even when the car is off. If you have a car like that,
simply remove the power plug from the power port on your car (also known as the cigarette lighter adapter).
