Mechanical Installation

In most cars, the manufacturer intended an installation slot for the car radio. The installation place was selected according to safety aspects. Therefore, it is suggested that the car radio be installed in this intended slot.

The device requires a DIN installation slot with the dimensions 182 × 53 ~mm . This installation size is standardised and usually complied with by all car manufacturers.

If no installation slot is intended, learn about the correct car radio installation site from your car dealer.

Select your installation site carefully to prevent the device from impairing normal driving activity of the driver.

Only use the included assembly material to guarantee for secure installation.

Changes to the vehicle that are required by the SD tuner or other components always have to be performed so that there will not be any impairment of road safety or constructive car stability. In many cars, the operational license will already expire from sawing out of a sheet metal part.

Since the device generates heat in operation, the installation site must be resistant to heat.

Before applying any attachment bores, ensure that no electrical cables, brake lines, the fuel tank, etc. are damaged by it.

When using the tools for installation of your car HiFi components, observe the safety tool manufacturer's notes.

When installing your HiFi system, observe the danger of accidents that devices torn loose may cause in case of accidents. Therefore, attach every part securely at a site where it cannot become any danger for the passengers.

Before device installation, verify the depth of the intended installation space.

Mechanical Installation

Installation in the Radio Slot

• Unlock the installation frame with the two unlocking keys (figure1, item1).
• Remove the installation frame backwards from the device (figure1, item2).
• Push the installation frame into the vehicle's installation cut-out (figure2).
• Bend over some of the holding tabs at installation frame until the frame is securely fastened in the installation slot (figure3).
• After producing all electrical connections (see "Electrical Connection"), push the device into the installation frame until it latches securely (figure4).

Keep the two unlocking keys carefully. You will need them to remove the device again later.

• Additionally secure the device against vibration with the screw cone at the rear of the device.
• Such safety device is already intended in most vehicles. If it isn't in your vehicle, please attach the device with the included perforated metal sheet.

Proceed as displayed in the following figure for attachment:

Mechanical Installation

Removal

• Insert the two unlocking keys in the lateral slots between the device and installation frame until the device is unlocked.
• If required, loosen the attachment screw at the rear of the device.
• Carefully remove the car radio from the installation frame using the unlocking keys.
• Loosen all electrical connections on the rear of the device and the aerial plug.

Hands-Free Microphone

The microphone for the hands-free device can be attached to the sun-blind, the steering column cover or any other suitable place in the vehicle interior.

The microphone and connection line must never be located in the air-bag trigger range.

• Attach the hands-free microphone to a suitable place with a clamp or the included hook-and-loop tape.
• Place the connection line to the radio installation slot.

Mechanical Installation

Remote Control

The remote control can be attached right at the steering wheel rim with the included steering wheel holder. The IR reception eye is located at the front shield of the SD tuner.

Steering wheel assembly:

• Align the steering wheel straight.
• Open the two screws (E) of the steering wheel holder.
• Place the inner part (A) of the steering wheel holder to the steering wheel inside (C).
• Tighten the rubber band (B) around the steering wheel rim and hook it into the latching tabs under tension (figure 1).
• Cut off any protruding rubber band (figure 2).
• Attach the outer part (D) of the steering wheel holder again with the two screws (E) (figure 3).
• Push the remote control onto the steering wheel holder (figure 4 and figure 5).
  To remove the remote control, operate the safety lever (F) and pull the remote control from the holder (figure 6).

Mechanical Installation

The remote control must not be placed in the air-bag trigger range.

The remote control must be installed to the steering wheel in a way that will not impair the driver in steering and operation of the vehicle.

Tighten the holder's rubber band well to ensure that the remote control cannot come loose during the drive.

The remote control must be attached to the steering wheel inside to prevent steering impairment.

The best installation site for the remote control depends on the SD tuner installation site. Check for proper function before final assembly. The IR transmitter is at the rear of the remote control.

X

ok

The electrical connection should only be performed by a specialist.

To prevent short circuits and the resulting damage to the device, the minus pole (earth) of the vehicle battery must be disconnected during connection.

Only connect the battery's minus pole again after connecting the device completely and verifying the connection.

To inspect the vehicle voltage line voltage, only use a voltmeter or diode test lamp because normal test lamps take up too high currents and, thus, may damage the vehicle electronics.

When placing the lines, observe that they are not crushed or scrape over sharp edges. Use rubber sleeves in the penetration points.

Connection to the speakers must be two-wire each. Insulate any open connection points.

Only use speakers with sufficient load capacity (see "Technical Data").

Observe that all speakers have the correct polarity - that is, that plus and minus marks match.

The speaker connection cables are usually encoded. Some speaker manufacturers mark the (+) -line with an additional colour strip, while others use a grooved line for the (+) -pole, but a smooth one for the (-) -pole.

The device was developed for operation with speaker impedances of at least 4 Ohm. Never connect speakers with a lower impedance.

In most vehicles, the lines for electrical connection and connection of the speakers are already placed up to the intended installation slot.

If this is not the case, ensure that the subsequently installed lines are secured by the respective intended vehicle fuses (see vehicle operating manual).

Aerial Connection

• Connect your vehicle's aerial plug to the aerial socket at the rear of the device (socket next to the cinch connections).
• If your vehicle is equipped with a different aerial plug, use a matching adapter as available in specialist trade.

LINE Output Connection

The SD tuner has LINE outputs for the connection of an output amplifier.

Only use suitably shielded cinch cables for connection to the cinch sockets. Interferences may occur from using any other cables.

Keep the connection line length as short as possible.

Do not place the lines close to any other cables. This prevents any interfering effect on the lines.

To avoid distortions or mismatches that may damage the device, the cinch connections must only be connected to devices with matching cinch connections.

• Connect the cinch sockets at the rear of the device to the output amplifier inputs.

The red socket is the connection for the right channel

The white socket is the connection for the left channel

AUX IN Connection

The connection AUX IN (24) can be used to connect an external audio device (e.g. portable MP3 player); its signal will be played back via the vehicle speaker.

• Connect the AIX IN (24) connection to the external device's audio output.

Hands-Free Microphone Connection

• Connect the hands-free microphone to the coupling of the back connection lines at the rear of the device.

Electrical Connection

Speaker and Power Supply Connection

Vehicles equipped with an ISO system plug can be connected right to the ISO connection terminal at same plug assignment (please verify first!). If the plug assignment deviates, use a vehicle-specific adapter available in trade for connection.

For the contact assignment of the SD tuner ISO connection socket, see the following figure.

You can learn about the respective assignment of your car system plug from your car dealer.

Electrical Connection

• The continuous current connection +12V (4) must be connected to a line that supplies 12V continually even with the ignition switched off (terminal 30 of the vehicle power supply). This connection is used to store the user settings, time, etc.
• The aerial output (5) delivery a voltage of +12V with the device switched on. This line can be used for power supply to an electrical aerial, as well as as switch-on voltage for a car amplifier.
• The continuous current connection +12V (7) must be connected to a line that supplies +12V continually even with the ignition switched off (terminal 15 of the vehicle power supply).

Do not connect this terminal to continuous current, or the vehicle battery will go flat if the vehicle is parked for an extended period of time.

• The connection earth (8) is connected to the vehicle body.

The more and more frequently used adhesive technique or painted metal parts will decrease electric conductivity. Therefore, not every metal part is suitable as an earthing point.

Electrical Connection

Insertion/Replacement of the Remote Control Battery

Observe correct polarity when inserting battery.

Do not let batteries lying around openly; there is a danger that they are swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

Leaking or damaged batteries may cause caustic burns when touching skin. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves in this case.

Ensure that the battery is not short-circuited or thrown into fire. It also must not be recharged. There is a danger of explosion.

Remove the battery if you do not use it for an extended period of time.

• Take the remote control from the steering wheel holder as described above.
• Slide open the battery compartment lid at the rear of the remote control and remove it.
• Put in a new 3V lithium button cell CR2025 in the correct polarity. The positive pole of the battery must point upwards for this.
• Close the battery compartment again. The latching tab must latch audibly.
• Attach the remote control in the steering wheel holder again as described above.

• If the remote control no longer works properly, the battery is discharged and must be replaced with a new battery of the same type.
  The battery is changed as described above.
• Replace the discharged battery with a new battery of the same type.

Operation

Radio Operation

RDS as reception concept

The abbreviation RDS stands for radio data system. i.e. inaudible encoded additional information is emitted as well by the VHF RDS station.

The BSD-3023 is an SD tuner that is able to evaluate this encoded data that is emitted by nearly every station.

The following essential additional information is transmitted:

-Programme identification (PI)
- Traffic programme ID (TP)
- Traffic announcement (TA)
-Programme service name (PS)
- Alternative frequencies (AF)
-Programme type (PTY)
- EON information (EON)
- Time (CT)

Programme identification (PI)

This data helps with clear identification of a station. It enables the radio to differentiate between areas where the same programme is emitted. The car radio thus only switches to stronger stations when reception weakens if this station emits the same programme identification.

Traffic programme ID (TP)

This signal tells the receiver that a station with traffic programme information is received.

Traffic announcement ID (TA)

This signal enables the station to recognise a traffic announcement and also interrupt current playback from another source.

Operation

Programme service name (PS)

This information indicates to the receiver which station is currently being received. It is indicated right in the car radio display (e.g. BAYERN 3).

Alternative frequencies (AF)

A list of alternative frequencies that emit the same programme is included. If the received station is too weak, the receiver recognises that it has to find a station with better reception via the AF signal.

Programme type (PTY)

This code submits to the receiver information on the type of programme emitted (e.g. sports, classical music, news, etc.). The listener can thus find just the programme he is looking for.

A national disaster alarm can also be distributed this way. Not all stations offer PTY service yet, however.

EON information (EON)

Many station labels with different programmes only have a single programme with traffic information. If EON information is included in the transmission, the device equipped this way switches to the traditional programme station when there are any traffic announcements, even if another programme of the same station chain is listened to.

If you are listening to, e.g., Bayern 4 (no traffic programme), the device will switch to Bayern 3 (with traffic programme) for the duration of the traffic programme announcement when the TA button is active.

Time (CT)

Many stations send the current time in the RDS data. If the device receives this signal, it automatically sets the integrated clock.

The RDS system therefore offers the advantage that it switches to a similar station with better reception automatically when the transmission range is left. However, it will only switch if a better station with the same programme is available.

Short signal weaknesses due to bad reception cannot be eliminated by the RDS system either, because it would lead to continuous switching back and forth of the car radio. This would be seen as much more unpleasant by the listener than brief reception interferences.

Another benefit of the RDS system is that the station name is displayed. The station name of an RDS station is displayed on the car radio display.

Operation

Function of the individual buttons

• Button / BND / LOU / CLR (5)

This button selects the radio part frequency range.

3 VHF ranges and one MF range are available:

$$ F 1 > F 2 > F 3 > M W $$

Each of the four frequency ranges can store 6 stations on the station buttons 1-6 (18).

- Buttons and (2)

These buttons change the receiver frequency to adjust the station in radio operation.

Pressing the button briefly starts automatic station search (display SEARCH).

The search will stop only when the next station with good reception is reached.

If a button is kept pressed for an extended period of time, manual station search is activated.

MANUAL appears in the display.

In this mode, the frequency is adjusted until the corresponding button is released again. Pressing the button briefly changes the frequency step by step.

If the buttons are not pressed for an extended period of time, the device switches back to automatic station search. AUTO appears in the display briefly.

- Station buttons 1-6 (18)

Briefly pressing these buttons enables direct search for a previously stored station.

To store the station just listened to, just keep the corresponding button pressed for more than 1 second.

Each of the three VHF ranges (F1-3) and the MF reception range has six station buttons. A total of 24 station buttons can be assigned.

Operation

- Button * + AS / PS (10)

If this button is kept pressed briefly, the stations saved on the station storage buttons 1-6 (18) are played for a few seconds each.

Press the button again to stop this search.

If the button is kept pressed, all stations with good reception will be stored automatically to station storage buttons 1-6 (18).

After this process, the saved stations are played for a few seconds as described above.

- Button 7 / AF / MON (22)

Briefly press button 7 / AF / MON (22) once > AF is switched on

Press the button again > AF is switched off

The button 7 / AF / MON (22) calls automatic station tracking.

The display indicates AF.

If a weak or no RDS station is received, the display flashes.

If the station is received well, the icon is lit continually.

Only the AF function enables the device to switch to a better station if the reception area is left.

Mono/Stereo toggling:

Press and hold the button 7 / AF / MON (22) to switch radio reception to mono or stereo.

Keeping it pressed again selects the respective other reception type.

Operation

- Button 8 / EQ / TA (23)

Keep button 8 / EQ / TA (23) pressed > TA is switched on

Keep the button pressed again > TA is switched off

If a traffic programme station is received, the display indicates TP = Traffic Programme.

If the TA function is active, TA is also displayed.

If another source is played back (e.g. SD playback), the programme is muted for the duration of the traffic programme announcement.

If a current radio programme is running at a very low volume, the traffic programme announcement will automatically switch to a higher level that can be understood well.

After the end of the announcement, the radio returns to the previously set volume.

- Button 9 / PTY (9)

This button switches on the PTY function. You can see this by the PTY display.

After the PTY button is pressed, the display indicates the selected programme type.

Use the rotary control VOLUME (4) to set the desired programme type and press one of the buttons or (2) to start station search.

Now a station of this programme type is searched for.

The following programme types are available:

NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIOED, POP M, ROCK M, EASY M, LIGHT M, CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ M, COUNTRY, NATION M, OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT, TEST, ALARM

Operation

- Setting the RDS Parameters

To set the RDS parameters, first keep the button 9 / PTY (9) pressed (>2 seconds) and then press it again briefly until the desired function appears in the display.

The options for the respective setting are selected by turning the rotary control VOLUME (4).

The following settings are possible:

TA SEEK/ALARM

TA SEEK: When losing the traffic programme information, the device will automatically find a new station with traffic programme ID.

TA ALARM: The device emits a warning sound if the traffic programme ID is no longer received.

PI SOUND/MUTE

Device reaction if you reach an area where 2 different stations with different programme identification (PI) are transmitting the same AF (alternative frequency):

PI SOUND: The radio switches to the new station for a few seconds and then back again.

PI MUTE: The new station is muted.

RETUNE L/S

RETUNE L: If no traffic programme ID is received anymore, automatic search starts after 90 seconds.

RETUNE S: If no traffic programme ID is received anymore, automatic search starts after 30 seconds.

MASK DPI/ALL

Device reaction at station search:

MASK DPI: Alternative frequencies with different programme information (PI) are not considered.

MASK ALL: Alternative frequencies with different programme information (PI) and alternative frequencies with a high signal strength but without RDS information are not considered.

Operation

EON TA LO/DX

Device reaction when switching to EON traffic announcements:

EON TA LO: The device only switches to EON traffic announcements if the EON station signal strength is good and no interference is expected.

EON TA DX: The device always switches to EON traffic announcements without considering signal strength.

TA VOL

The preselected volume is selected for traffic programme announcements with the TA function activated if the volume set is lower.

Set the desired announcement volume by turning the rotary control VOLUME (4).

REG ON/OFF

REG ON: The device only switches to another frequency with the precisely same programme if reception grows weaker.

REG OFF: The device will also switch to a different station with the same regional ID if reception grows weaker.

USB/Memory Card Operation

The device is equipped with a USB interface and memory card reader for SD/MMC cards.

MP3 files stored on these media can be played back.

Do not connect any MP3 player to the USB interface if it is battery-operated.

The USB interface power supply may charge the inserted batteries and cause heating and explosion of the batteries.

USB media and USB hard discs of up to 32 GB and a power intake of no more than 500mA can be connected to the USB interface.

Only USB storage media can be operated via the USB interface. MP3 players with USB connection will usually switch to PC mode when connected here. Music files cannot be played in this mode. However, you can always connect an MP3 player's audio output to the AUX IN (24) connection.

SD/MMC cards and SDHC cards at up to 16 GB are supported.

The media must be FAT 16 or FAT 32 formatted.

Due to the great diversity of devices with USB and SD/MMC card interfaces and their sometimes very manufacturer-specific functions, it cannot be ensured that all media will be recognised and all operation options are present in connection with this device.

If the storage medium is not recognised, remove it again and re-connect it.

• Connect your USB storage medium to USB interface (25).
• If you are using a memory card, connect it to the memory card reader (14).
• The device automatically switches to the corresponding input and commences playback.

Remote Control Functions

Almost all the SD tuner functions can also be controlled via the included steering wheel remote control. The Bluetooth® hands-free system can also be operated with it comfortably and safely via the steering wheel.

The buttons with the same designations as on the device have the same functions as well.

The function for the rotary control VOLUME (4), however, is distributed between two separate operating elements:

• The buttons VOL (26) and VOL (27) at the rear of the remote control assume the function of turning the rotary control VOLUME (4).
• The button / BND / LOU / CLR (5) assumes the function of pressing the rotary control VOLUME (4).

Bluetooth® Operation

To enable best phone reception and keep the electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle as low as possible, an outside aerial should always be used for mobile phone operation.

For the mobile phone to automatically take incoming calls, automatic call answering must be activated at the SD tuner (see hands-free system menu) as well as in the mobile phone (see corresponding instructions). This is a prerequisite for legal operation of hands-free systems while driving in many countries.

In Bluetooth® operation, the SD tuner can be used as a hands-free system for mobile phones and/or as a playback device for Bluetooth®A2DP audio streaming. However, before transmission between your mobile phone or Bluetooth® device and the SD tuner is possible, both devices must be coupled. This process is called "Pairing".

Pairing

• Switch on your Bluetooth® device and activate pairing mode here (for this, see the instructions for the respective device). The device then searches for Bluetooth® devices in the reception range.
• Keep the button PAIR / MOD (12) pressed until the display indicates PAIRING.
• If the SD tuner was found, your Bluetooth® device will indicate CarBT.
• Enter password 0000 to couple the two devices.
  After successful pairing, the display indicates the Bluetooth® icon.
• If pairing was not successful, try repeating the process. The CarBT device in your mobile phone may have to be deleted (see mobile phone instructions).
• Only the rotary control VOLUME (4) and the button / MUT(1) will work during pairing. All other buttons are locked during pairing.
• To interrupt pairing prematurely, keep the button PAIR / MOD (12) pressed. The display indicates PAIR END.

Only one Bluetooth® device can be coupled with the SD tuner. If there is already an active Bluetooth® coupling, this connection must be interrupted first.

Switching off the SD tuner or Bluetooth® device that is part of the active coupling or removing it from the range will interrupt the connection. When switching it on again or if the Bluetooth® device is back in range of the SD tuner, the connection is automatically re-established. The SD tuner display indicates the Bluetooth® icon again.

The function may have to be activated in the Bluetooth® device to enable this automatic connection (please see the instructions of your Bluetooth® device for this).

Maintenance

Regularly verify technical safety of the SD-tuner, e.g. for damage to the connection cables and casing.

If you have reason to believe that the product can no longer be operated safely, disconnect it immediately and make sure it is not unintentionally operated. Disconnect the vehicle power supply!

It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:

• the device is visibly damaged
• the device no longer works or
• after heavy mechanical stress

Before cleaning or servicing the SD tuner, always observe the following safety information:

Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or components are removed.

The device must be disconnected from all power sources before any servicing or repair work is carried out.

Capacitors inside the device may still carry voltage even though they have been disconnected from all power sources.

Only qualified experts familiar with the hazards involved and the relevant regulations must perform repairs.

Fuse replacement

If the fuse must be replaced, observe that only fuses of the indicated type and rated current (see "Technical Data") must be used.

Never repair fuses or bridge the fuse holder.

• After disconnection from the power supply (disconnect ISO connection plug!) carefully remove the fuse from the fuse holder next to the ISO connection.
• Replace it with a fuse of the same type.
• After this, you can reconnect the SD tuner to the vehicle power supply and take it into operation.
• If the fuse triggers again, take the device to a specialist workshop for repair.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth or brush only.

Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions that may damage the surface of the casing.

Handling

• If the volume inside the car is too high, acoustic warning sounds can no longer be heard. This will endanger you and other traffic participants. Therefore, ensure adjusted volume.
• Carelessness on the road may lead to serious accidents. The HiFi system must only be operated when the traffic situation permits and you will not be distracted from traffic by system operation.
• Do not listen to excessively loud music over an extended period of time. This may damage your hearing.

In purchasing the BSD-3023 SD-Tuner, you have acquired a reliable product designed to the state of the art and operationally safe.
