INSTALLATION

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.
