Wiring Diagram
Pairing Your Device
(required for operation)
1. Ensure your streaming device has Bluetooth®
enabled and that the MBT-CRXv2 is on
(backlit in blue). The JL Audio logo on the
MBT-CRXv2 will blink to indicate it is in
pairing mode.
2. Within your streaming device’s Bluetooth®
setup menu, select “MBT-CRXv2” from the list
of pairable devices.
3. When successfully connected, the
JL Audio logo on the MBT-CRXv2 will stop
blinking and remain lit. A single beep will be
heard through the connected audio system.
Note:
If optional connection is made to a head
unit’s remote turn-on output, the head unit will
turn the MBT-CRXv2 on/off and the MBT-CRXv2
power button will no longer operate.
Pairing Considerations cont’d
When a connected streaming device is out
of range for more than one minute, the
MBT-CRXv2 will automatically disconnect this
streaming device and return to pairing mode
(JL Audio logo will blink). When that same
device comes back into range, it should be
reconnected to the MBT-CRXv2 manually.
Controlling Audio Playback
Once connected, use the controls on the
MBT-CRXv2 to adjust volume up/down, track
selection and play/pause.

Pairing Considerations
Multiple devices can be paired to the
MBT-CRXv2, but only one streaming device
can connect at one time.
The MBT-CRXv2 will remember the last device
that was connected to it and reconnect with
it automatically. If that streaming device is not
active, then other paired streaming devices can
connect manually, or new streaming devices
can be paired.
