Introduction:
Just because you have an older radio does not mean you have to settle for old
technology. Apple recently released a new generation of IOS products and with
them a new Lightning plug, and if you have an older iPod adapter it will also need
updating. The iL-BLAU will
play and charge
the newest Apple products including
the iPhone 12 on select Blaupunkt aftermarket radios that are
AUX Ready
.
Installing this adapter does require sacrificing Blaupunkt CD Changer (if
present), but with the storage capacity of these new devices sacrificing the CD
changer should be an easy decision.
Installation
Remove radio from dash to gain access to the connectors.
1.
Disconnect the blue (C-3) plug from Radio (See
Fig. 1
)
Warning:
Optional CD changer, satellite radio and other Blaupunkt accessory
may occupy C-3 slot on radio (See
Fig. 1
) and if so, it must be disconnected in
order to connect the IL-BLAU.
