Signat S857905 manual IPod interfaces, Universal, CAR Specific with Control

iPod interfaces

UNIVERSAL

There are several ways of getting the sound of an iPod through the car’s loudspeakers. As a universal iPod interface Signat offers the S857905, a very comfortable solution. The two supplied cables allow for a connection of an iPod or any other MP3 player. With its high-grade galvanically isolated FM modulator ánd the supplied antenna-adapters, this interface can be installed in nearly any car type. The S857905 uses FM modulation to reproduce the iPod/MP3 sound via the car radio: simply choose the 87.7 or 87.9 FM fre- quency at the radio and all the music of the iPod/MP3 player comes through the car’s loudspeakers. It becomes even more easy when the 87.7 or 87.9 frequency is stored under one of the preset buttons. And all of this is possible without any loss of sound quality.

CAR SPECIFIC

Another way of directing the iPod’s sound via the loudspeakers of the car is to apply a car-specific interface. It depends on the fea- tures of the OE (original equipment) radio in which way the iPod interface can be connected. For example a Mitsubishi has to have a radio with an aux-input; the iPod interface is connected to the aux-input and then the control of the iPod is limited to the volume.

CAR SPECIFIC WITH CONTROL

The ultimate iPod interface allows the functions of the iPod to be controlled by the original audio buttons in the car while its music sounds over the car’s loudspeakers. This is exactly what the Signat car specific interfaces can realize in e.g. Honda, Kia, Suzuki, Toyota and VW car types. By connecting the interface to the cd-changer input of the OE radio, the original audio buttons (at the radio or at the steering wheel) can control many features of the iPod, like track changing and track skipping. The OE dis- play will indicate all of this, while the intervention of RDS mes- sages will be maintained.

Some of these interfaces also feature an additional input for another sound source; this allows for even more in-car musical entertainment.

In the same way Signat has developed a range of iPod interfaces for brand specific radios with cd-changer control. Instead of the cd-changer, the iPod will function as the external sound source.

In all cases the connection of an Signat interface implicates also the charging of the iPod battery. The interfaces are suitable for all iPod models: iPod3, iPod4, Nano, Mini, Video, Installing a Signat iPod interface is always an extremely easy plug&play solution.
