3.6 When the car ignition is OFF
When you turn your car stereo or car ignition off, the iPod will pause, it will then go into sleep mode or other default mode
after being paused. In sleep mode, the iPod will still consume power—although very little—from the car battery. The iPod
is NOT charging when ignition is off. There is no need to disconnect the iPod every time you turn off your car.
However,
it is strongly advised that you disconnect the iPod if you do not plan to operate your car for extended
periods.
3.7 Using EXT1 for AUX-IN on your NEO 3V9 adapter
You can connect any alternative audio sources such as MP3 player, DVD, GPS, XM and etc. to the Neo Car Audio
adapter via Mini Din to RCA and 3.5mm phone jack cable (must be purchased separately, is not included in the basic
package). Connect MiniDin end of the cable to the adapter. Connect 3.5mm end to the audio source. Turn ON the audio
source and the stereo. Put stereo into CD changer mode. The music will start playing. We recommend that you unplug the
iPod/iPhone from the dock connector if you are using the AUX-IN RCA 3.5mm cable on Neo Car Audio adapter. If you
don’t unplug the iPod/iPhone and connect the 3.5mm audio source at the same time some sound interference may occur.
3.8 Using EXT1 for Bluetooth connection on your Neo Car Audio 3V9 adapter
You may connect the NEO Bluetooth Dongle to the EXT port on the 3V9 adapter for the hands free use of your mobile
phone and wireless music play. Please refer to the NEO Bluetooth Dongle manual that is supplied with your Bluetooth
Dongle. You can also access the manual online at NEO Car Audio website

The Bluetooth and iPod cables can be connected at the same time and work simultaneously.
