You can connect MP3/DVD player, Satellite and many other audio devices that have 3.5 mm plug. If your device 
has a different type of connector (RCA, 2.5mm, etc.) you can buy an extension adapter at your local stereo store or 
on GROM website.

Note:

 

When the ignition is OFF the adapter will not automatically shut down the AUX-IN device. Please make sure 

to turn off the AUX-IN audio source manually. If you plan not to operate your car for one week and more, please 
disconnect AUX-IN audio source from the adapter. When you are using GROM-USB in a different mode other than 
AUX, please turn off AUX-IN audio source.
