Tools and Precautions
To install Drive + Play components, we recommend using the
following tools:
•
Electric or cordless drill with drill bit set
• Phillips screwdriver set
• Pencil
• Protective
eyewear
Before starting the installation, please observe the following
precautions:
• Turn off all audio system power, including the iPod, before
making any connections.
• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
Choosing Installation Locations
IMPORTANT: Drive + Play should be installed according to
these instructions and relevant regulations. No part of this
system should obstruct the driver’s view of the road or
vehicle controls or information displays necessary for
safely operating the vehicle. The text display should be
positioned to eliminate glare and reflections, and should be
as close as possible to the driver’s normal line of sight.
Drive + Play Components
Drive + Play consists of three main components: Text Display,
Control Knob and Electronics Enclosure. They operate together
as a system to make controlling your iPod easy, and to route the
audio signal to your mobile audio system. All three components
must be installed. You can choose wireless FM transmission,
wired FM transmission (adaptor sold separately), or direct con-
nection of the line-output audio signal for the audio interface.
Text Display Location
The Text Display shows current iPod information and is similar
to the display on your iPod. It comes with a three-position
pivot arm for virtually limitless viewing adjustment. You can
install the unit in a variety of locations, as long as the pro-
posed site offers a direct view of the display. For easiest view-
ing, mount the unit near other instrument-panel gauges or on
top of the dashboard.
Control Knob Location
The Control Knob allows you to control the iPod much like the
iPod Click Wheel. The unit comes with three interchangeable
bases so you can choose the most comfortable operation angle.
Ideally, you should install the Control Knob in a location that pro-
vides comfortable access while driving where you can easily feel
and operate it without taking your eyes off the road.
