Installation
Inserting the radio into the ISO slot
- Before installation always remove the two transportation safety screws in the top radio casing (recognizable because of their red flags)!
Assembly
The car radio can be fitted in any standard ISO slot for car radios. If your vehicle has no ISO slot, please consult a specialist workshop, dealer, or the specialist department of a car equipment warehouse.
- Now remove the mounting frame from the casing of the car radio.
- Insert the mounting frame in the ISO installation slot.
- Bend the flaps in the mounting frame with a screwdriver so that it is fixed firmly in place in the installation slot (see diagram).
- Check that the frame is held securely.
- Now connect the car radio's ISO block to the vehicle's two ISO plugs.
- Connect the vehicle's antenna cable to the radio antenna socket.
- Push the car radio carefully into the slot until it fits securely.
Please use the car radio's ISO block for installation. These adapters can be obtained from specialist workshops, dealers, or specialist departments of car equipment warehouses.
If the ISO block is separated from the radio the warranty will become null and void!
GB
While pushing the radio, take care to ensure that the cables are not damaged during the process.
- Press the RESET button (6) using the tip of a pen or another pointed object.
- Insert the control panel as described below.
The ISO adapter plug
Use the car's ISO adapter plug for the car radio's ISO socket block to produce a secure electrical connection.
Back-up cable
Ensure that the pink backup cable is pointed towards the permanent plus.
After making all the connections, press the RESET button (6).
Antenna relay cable
The yellow cable is available for a relay-controlled antenna. The relay extends the antenna automatically when the radio is switched on. When it is switched off the antenna is retracted.
This relay cable can also be used to control an external amplifier. Please refer to the amplifier's operating instructions for the correct connections.
Never connect the yellow cable to the engine cable; this could damage the radio!

Playing MP3 CDs
The basic functions are the same as those for audio CDs (refer to previous chapter). However, for MP3 CDs you can select the track and artist directly. The use of this function and other MP3-specific functions will depend to some degree on the MP3 CD itself. Please bear this in mind when producing this type of CD (refer to next chapter).
All common codes can be played back.
Producing MP3 CDs; ID3 tags
As with data CDs, MP3 CD-ROMs may contain individual tracks or folders. When producing an MP3 CD please ensure that you only save the tracks in folders and that none are saved on the same level as the folders. Mixing tracks and folders at the same level may produce playback problems.
When producing an MP3 CD you can also save so-called "ID3 tags" (we recommend using an ID3 tag editor for entries). This is a block of information stored on an MP3 CD lying "behind" the actual music information on the MP3. This may include such items as the artist, track, album name, year of publication and a short comment. The car radio can read this block of information and show it on the display.
