SMART-LINK AUDIO CONNECTIONS

A["SMART-LINK (optional)"] --> B["SMART-LINK audio output (AUX OUT R+L)"]
B --> C["Switch"]
D["Audio cable (optional)"] --> E["Switch"]
E --> F["Vehicle AUX input"]

By using an audio cable (sold separately), connect the audio output of the SMARTLINK module to the vehicle AUX input.
NOTE:
Make sure the audio source on the factory system is set to AUX mode (not AM/FM/Bluetooth). Also, if your smart-phone is set to automatically connect to your factory bluetooth, make sure you void the connection. One way is to forget the device (your vehicle) on your phone. This will avoid Smart-Play connection interferences. If you are using the wireless feature and notice degraded audio or video quality, switch to the wired alternative, for it is a higher quality connection, unlike bluetooth.
CONNECTING THE SMART-PLAY INTERFACE:
The ACPBM-77Z utilizes wireless technology for Apple devices/Android devices. If desired for wired connectivity, devices are required to be plugged in to the USB port using the smartphones OEM charger/data cable. The USB port on the ACPBM-77Z can be used to charge the apple device or play video or music from a USB thumb drive.
Using the ACPBM-77Z Input Selection
In the vehicle's Media menu, activate AUX Input to get the Smart-Play sound through the vehicles audio system. Press the 'BACK' button again for 3-5 seconds to go to the ACPBM-77Z AV mode.
A short press of the 'MEDIA' button will toggle through the video sources. Each short press will toggle to the next enabled input. If all inputs are enabled, the order will be:
Rear CAM > Video Input (Smart-Play) > Repeat...
To exit the Smart-Play menu, hold the 'Menu' button for 3-5 seconds
