Monster iCruze Installation & User Manual Download Page 3

LOSS OF CERTAIN EXISTING FUNCTIONS

  Use and installation of iCruze requires disconnection and loss  

of use of any existing factory installed non-integrated CD-changer  
(i.e. trunk, center console, under seat).

  iCruze is not compatible with some vehicles that have existing, 

factory installed integrated CD changers. Typically this is an in-dash 
CD changer. Call your dealer and ask if your factory stereo has a CD 
or CD changer port/option on the rear of the stereo. If yes, then  
it is iCruze compatible.

  Existing factory installed vehicle features, such as Satellite Radio, 

DVD entertainment systems, navigation systems and video cameras  
may be impacted by or cease to function with use and installation  
of iCruze, if these components were connected to the CD changer 
port. Check the iCruze in-store selection guide, visit iPodiCruze.com,  
or call customer service at 1-415-840-2000  (9am–5pm Monday 
through Friday PT) for more details.

INSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS

  Monster is not responsible for any damage to your vehicle while 

installing iCruze. The wiring and installation of the iCruze requires 
technical skill. Monster recommends iCruze installation by a MECP 
certified professional car audio technician. If you choose to install 
yourself, be aware that specialized car stereo removal tools may  
be needed and can be found available for purchase on our  
website iPodiCruze.com. 

  Make sure you have purchased the correct Monster Factory•Linx 

Interface Cable and/or Module. See the iCruze Factory•Linx 
in-store selection guide or visit iPodiCruze.com to ensure you have 
everything you need to install iCruze in your car.  Double check 

the iCruze in-store selection guide, visit iPodiCruze.com, or call 
customer service at 1-415-840-2000  (9am–5pm Monday through 
Friday PT) for more details.

  If your factory stereo is protected by an anti-theft code, have  

the code available so you can use your stereo once re-connected. 
Consult your car owner’s manual or contact your local car dealer 
for more information.

  Before installing iCruze, remove the cable from the negative 

battery terminal. Failure to do so may cause electrical shock 
and/or injury. 

  iCruze is designed to be installed in the dash near the car stereo. 

Installation elsewhere or in a dusty or moist area may cause 
problems or product failure. 

  Many connectors in your car may look the same. Do not force 

or alter the cable connectors to fit. Failure to do so may damage 
your vehicle’s electronics, cause shock or fire.

  While installing iCruze, make sure to avoid sharp edges which  

can damage wiring. Failure in doing so may cause iCruze to not 
work or result in a fire.

  Do not attempt to take iCruze apart. The internal circuits are static 

sensitive and contain no user serviceable parts.
