3. The connection of “Continuous +” (continuous current
connection) may differ depending on the vehicle type.
(However, this is required for storing of the radio stations.)
In order to assure all functions, installation according to
these instructions is necessary. In case of doubt, please
contact an authorized car workshop.
Because of the different vehicle types and vehicle
manufacturers, correct wiring of the ISO connector is no
assured even when the ISO plug connectors fit mechani-
cally. Thus it may be necessary to change the electric
connection or to use a vehicle-specific adaptor.
NOTE:
In case of correct connection, the radio can be
switched on and off with the ignition. In case of
possible loss of stored radio stations, the radio is
not provided with the “Continuous +” required for
station storage.
CAUTION:
In case of connection to “Continuous +” without
ignition, an unnecessary load may be caused for the
car battery even when the radio is switched off. In the
worst case, this may lead to discharge of the car bat-
tery.
4. Depending on the vehicle type, interferences may occur
during operation of the radio. These can be elimi-
nated with an additional noise filter. Your set is already
equipped with a noise filter as standard. In spite of this,
interferences may be caused depending on the vehicle.
Noise filters are available from car accessory sellers and/
or your car workshop.
5. When installing your radio, take care that there is suffi-
cient free space at the rear of the radio to assure sufficient
cooling.
6. There are two different standards for the antenna con-
nection. The first one is the old one (50 Ohm) with a
long projecting round contact on the vehicle side and a
round socket on the radio side. The second one is the
ISO standard antenna plug (150 Ohm). Adapters for both
formats are offered by car accessory sellers and/or your
car workshop.
NOTE:
To be strictly observed for VW/Audi: The antenna
of your vehicle may be an active antenna. This
requires a voltage supply only provided by the
original car radios. If this should be the case, please
use an antenna adapter for phantom feed.
Antenna adapters are available from car accessory
sellers and/or your car workshop.
Mounting Instruction
The correct tools are self-explanatory for a car hifi installa-
tion.
Insert the unit into the ISO slot or select a location where
you can reach all controls and the unit is not in the diver’s
way.
Connect only to a properly installed 12 V battery.
Connect only via the ISO connectors.
Install the unit in such way that no overheating is possible
and the unit is well ventilated.
If the installation angle exceeds 30° the unit might not
perform well.
Avoid installing the unit where it is subjected to high
temperature, such as from direct sunlight, hot air from the
heating ducts, or where subjected to dust, dirt or exces-
sive vibration.
Contact your car manufacturer or the local dealer if
vehicle modifications are necessary.
Notes for installing the DAB antenna
The DAB antenna is only intended for use in a vehicle.
Do not install the DAB antenna at the following locations:
- Where it could hinder the visibility of the driver
- Where it could influence the proper functioning of
safety equipment (e.g. airbags).
The strength of the signal may decrease at the following
locations:
- On IR-reflective glass, under the lamination covering
the mirror glass or under heat insulating panes
- In case of overlap with window heating wires
- The reception may be impaired depending on the
alignment of the vehicle (antenna) to the direction of
the radio transmitter.
Before installation, clean the intended installation site
thoroughly using a cleaner, so that it is free of oil and dirt.
For optimum DAB reception, the antenna must be
aligned vertically.
The adhesive pad of the antenna sticks better to warm
surfaces. Therefore, if possible, only install the antenna
when the outside temperature is at least 20 degrees. If
necessary, switch on the heating in the car in order to
warm the pane.
Before attaching the antenna, check the cable length that
is still needed to reach the car radio.
For safety reasons, the antenna should be installed on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
In the case of vehicles with passenger airbags, we recom-
mend for safety reasons that installation is carried out by
a specialized company.
If you want to lay the cable behind the interior lining of
the front column, we recommend that you also arrange
for this to be done by a specialized company.
