If your iPhone or iPod is not charging, make sure your TuneCast Auto is correctly connected to the power outlet and that your iPhone or iPod is securely connected to your TuneCast Auto. The indicator light on the cigarette lighter adapter should be lit. Note: Some vehicles do not provide power to the power outlet unless the vehicle is in ignition mode or the engine is running.

This will repeat on your stereo display until the transmission ends, or it is replaced by another song. Refer to your car stereo’s manual to find out if it has the RDS feature. Note: The TuneCast Auto supports RDS. Depending on your car stereo system or the location you find yourself in, the quality of the RDS transmission between your TuneCast Auto and your car stereo can vary.
