2. Installation of The Device
Integrating this device with your existing car stereo system is simple and easy. Simply
connect both the existing FM antenna and DAB antenna to the device inputs, then the
FM-modulated DAB radio is readily available via its FM output (F female connector on the
other end of device). This paragraph is intended to guide you step by step how to
correctly configure this device with existing FM antenna, power source, and audio output
delivery to car stereo.
2.1 Connecting to the inputs
 Connect the existing FM/AM antenna (available from the car) to the port (a) of the
unit.
 Connect DAB antenna into the DAB antenna port (b) of the unit.

Connect IR receiver to the IR port (c). The IR receiver “window” should be located at
positions that can maintain a line-of-the-sight for better command reception.

Connect the wiring harness correctly to port (d) on the unit. This harness include
+12V car battery supply, ignition wire (ACC), and ground wire. Note that a separate
ISO connection cable may be provided to ease the connection.
2.2 Connecting to the output
In general cases, one simply need to Connect the device’s FM antenna output port (g) to
the car stereo’s FM input as depicted below. No extra wiring is needed. The received DAB
radio contents is already converted into FM signal and fed into the car stereo as a
commonplace FM station.

Ear phone socket i.e. port (e) is another audio output option for car stereo to receive the
DAB contents. Note that the Mini USB port (f) is only for software upgrade of the unit. It
is intended for service professionals, not for general public.
Once completed, one can turn on the vehicle and the LED on IR receiver will be ON as a
“power ON” indication to remind users the power is running through the unit.
Note. Please make sure that the unit is fasten tightly and securely. If the unit is loose and dangling, it may
result in malfunction
1. Please make sure that all the wire connections are securely made by inserting jacks until they lock
completely.
2. If your vehicle’s ignition does not have an ACC position, or if the ignition wire is connected to a power
source with constant voltage such as battery wire, the power will not be linked with the ignition (i.e.,
it will not turn on and off along with the ignition). If you want to link the unit’s power with the ignition,
connect the ignition wire to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key.
3. If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not caused a short circuit, then replace the old
fuse with one with the same rating.
4. Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent short circuits, also do
not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires of the terminals.
