Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the iSimple Car Connect. The Car Connect is designed to provide endless hours
of listening pleasure from your factory radio. The CarConnect allows connectivity for Bluetooth Devices,
enabling full control of these devices from the factory installed radio. It also retains original system features
such as CD Changer, Satellite Radio and Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) (if equipped).
Features
Hands-Free Calling
- Using the vehicle’s radio or steering wheel mounted radio controls (if equipped) users
can answer calls, end calls or switch to privacy mode on a paired mobile device.
Caller ID -
When used in Satellite emulation mode
,
the incoming/outgoing phone number will be shown on
the radio’s display. iOS devices will also show the name of the caller provided the number is assigned to a
contact.
Streaming Music
- If a paired mobile device is already playing music upon first starting your vehicle, and
the radio is in the Bluetooth mode, the CarConnect will automatically enter streaming music mode and begin
transmitting the audio signal through your vehicle’s radio. Music streaming may also be initiated from the
radio. Using the vehicle’s radio buttons or steering wheel mounted radio controls (if equipped) operators
can change tracks, pause and play the music on the paired mobile device. The track name and artist will be
displayed on the radios display.
Voice-Recognition (Siri, S-Voice, Google Voice, etc)
- Using the radios buttons, users can remotely launch
their preferred Voice Recognition application on their mobile device. The extent of the Voice Recognition
capabilities available depend upon the specific application being used on the mobile device. The Voice
Recognition function is also available while actively streaming music.
Important Notes
1. Not all radios will support mode switching when a call is made/received. These radios will have to be
manually switched to the CarConnect mode when a call is made/received.
2. If you are listening to any source other than the CarConnect when a call is made/received, once the call
is ended, you will be left in CarConnect mode. You must manually switch back to the original source.
3. If there are quotation marks in any of the song titles, it will not display correctly on the radio
4. If you are using satellite emulation mode and also have factory satellite, when switching from CarConnect
to Satellite mode, it may take up to one minute for the channels to load.
5. You can adjust the output gain of the CarConnect to better match your factory sources. Follow the
procedure outlined under your mode of emulation to adjust the gain on your CarConnect.
6. Apple users:
avoid using an apostrophe in the name of the iPhone.
7. Android users:
avoid using a device name with over 12 characters.
