Tools and Precautions

To install Drive + Play components, we recommend using the following tools: Electric or cordless drill with drill bit set Phillips screwdriver set Pencil Protective eyewear
Before starting the installation, please observe the following precautions: Turn off all audio system power, including the iPod, before making any connections. Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
Drive + Play Components Drive + Play consists of three main components: Text Display, Control Knob and Electronics Enclosure. They operate together as a system to make controlling your iPod easy, and to route the audio signal to your mobile audio system. All three components must be installed. You can choose wireless FM transmission, wired FM transmission, or direct connection of the line-output audio signal for the audio interface. Text Display Location The Text Display shows current iPod information and is similar to the display on your iPod. It comes with a three-position pivot arm for almost limitless viewing adjustment. You can install the unit in a variety of locations, as long as the proposed site offers a direct view of the display. For easiest viewing, mount the unit near other instrument-panel gauges or on top of the dashboard. Control Knob Location The Control Knob allows you to control the iPod much like the iPod Click Wheel. The unit comes with interchangeable bases so you can choose the most comfortable operation angle. Ideally, you should install the Control Knob in a location that provides comfortable access while driving where you can easily locate and operate it without taking your eyes off the road.

continued on next page.

INSTALLATION 3
Electronics Enclosure Location The Electronics Enclosure contains the wireless FM transmitter and the power supply for the three components. You can install it under a seat, in the center console compartment, in the glove box or behind the radio. If possible, select a site that provides convenient access to the enclosure and easy cable routing. Also, the performance of the wireless FM transmitter depends on the location and length of the pigtail antenna. Drive + Play also provides an audio interface to a cell phone, satellite radio, or any other device that outputs a low-level audio signal using the Aux In jack. When using the Auxiliary Input feature, select a mounting site for the electronics enclosure that provides easy access to the Aux In jack. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a 3.5mm stereo extension cable for a longer cable run (see Wiring Diagram on page 5). Wired FM Adapter The Wired FM adapter must be plugged into the cable that connects your vehicles antenna to the radio, and is usually located at the back of the in-dash radio. However, in some vehicles, it may be located elsewhere. If you are unsure about the antenna plugs location, or if your vehicle includes an amplified or non-standard antenna, consider having your Drive + Play professionally installed. iPod Location With this system, you can place your iPod in any location that allows you to conveniently connect it to the Drive + Play iPod cable. Since you dont have to view the iPod or use its controls, you can place it inside the center console compartment, the glove box, or another hidden site.

Choosing an Audio Interface
Referring to the Wiring Diagram on the next page, you can interface the Drive + Plays audio output to your mobile audio system in three ways: Wireless FM Transmission Only available in selected countries This method is the most convenient and requires the least wiring. After setup, you simply tune your radio to the assigned FM frequency to listen to your iPod. Drive + Play has a built-in FM transmitter and its software provides a choice of five fixed FM frequencies or a tunable frequency for areas where none of the fixed frequency selections are available. See Initial Setup on page 9 for details about locating an optimum frequency for best performance of the FM transmitter. Wired FM Transmission For better quality FM transmission performance, use the Wired FM Adaptor for direct connection (via the Antenna jack on the Electronics Enclosure) to your radios antenna input (see Wiring Diagram on the next page).
NOTE: Depending on your vehicle model, antenna plug adaptors may be required to connect the Wired FM Adaptor to your radio and antenna.
Connecting to Audio Out This method provides the best sound quality, but involves more wiring. After making the connections and setup, you will select Auxiliary Input or CD Changer on your audio system to listen to your iPod. See Initial Setup on page 9 for details.
NOTE: Since an iPod can get hot during operation, avoid tightly enclosed areas. Review About Operating and Storage Temperatures in your iPods Users Guide.
Planning the Installation IMPORTANT: When routing wires from any of the components to the electronics enclosure, be sure to route them away from any moving parts such as the gear-shift levers, pedals, parking brake and steering column. Temporarily place the main components at their proposed sites and lay out their interconnect cables to judge the cable routes (see Wiring Diagram on page 5 for wiring options). If a cable comes up short, try moving one or more components to find a better run. Next, inspect the vehicles interior assembly and locate areas where cables can be hidden or tucked into seams (e.g., under the center console housing, along body panel, etc.). Once you have found the ideal cable runs and component locations, mark the sites with a pencil and continue with the installation.
NOTE: In order to use the Audio Out, your audio system must have an auxiliary input jack or a CD changer input. A thirdparty interface is required for a CD changer input. If your system has neither feature, FM transmission is the only choice for the audio interface.

Choosing a Power Interface
Referring to the Wiring Diagram on the next page, you can connect Drive + Plays power connections to your vehicles electrical system in one of two ways: Removable 12-Volt Accessory Power Cable With Cigarette Lighter Adaptor and In-Line Fuse Holder This power interface is the most convenient, since the power cable can be simply plugged into the vehicles cigarette lighter outlet. No additional wiring is required. NOTE: If your cigarette lighter works even when the cars ignition switch is in the off position, youll have to turn Drive + Play on manually.

8 INSTALLATION/OPERATION

OPERATION
Drive + Play operates much like the iPod itself. The Control Knob mimics the iPods Click Wheel, and its software uses a similar menu-select system. Before you use Drive + Play, youll need to set it up for the first time. After you perform the Initial Setup using the Settings Menu, controlling your iPod with Drive + Play will be easy and intuitive. To make selections on the Text Display, you simply turn the Control Knobs Scroll Ring to highlight a desired menu item. Turn the Scroll Ring to the right to scroll down, and to the left to scroll up. Press the (center) Select button once to confirm your selection. Depending on your selection, this display may show: a list of settings or menu operation, or a highlighted setting with a choice of values, or a highlighted setting with a check box, or a graphic display which may be adjusted using the Scroll Ring. When in any of the settings menus: Drive + Play will tell your iPod to play the same selection as when it was last turned off. If you plugged your iPod into Drive + Play while it was playing, Drive + Play will tell the iPod to play the current song without interruption. However, if nothing was playing when your iPod was last turned off or when it was plugged in, Drive + Play will tell the iPod to begin playing the first song in its Songs database.
Locating an Optimum FM Frequency Drive + Play provides five preset FM frequencies (88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, or 88.9MHz) for your convenience. Depending on where youll use Drive + Play, a preset frequency may provide satisfactory operation. For the best performance, follow these steps to locate an optimum FM frequency: 1. Turn on your vehicles radio and search for an available FM channel (one where you hear only low-level static or an existing weak station). 2. If the channel matches a Drive + Plays preset frequency, you will need to select it in the preset FM frequency menu in the next section. 3. If it does not match a Drive + Plays preset frequency, you will need to set this frequency in the Custom FM Frequency menu in the next section. 4. Add your chosen frequency to your radios memory for easy recall.
