How to Use This Unit

Depending on the connection method of the iPhone / smartphone (Android), this unit can be used as follows.

When using this unit alone (When not connecting an iPhone or smartphone (Android))

The unit outputs the sound source of the car stereo / navigation system. Only the volume adjustment and mute functions can be operated with the supplied remote control.
For audio adjustment, connection of an iPhone / smartphone (Android) is necessary.

When connecting an iPhone / smartphone (Android) to use

The unit can be used in the following four pattern modes.
When using the remote control, press the SRC button to switch the mode. The mode switches in the order of Car Stereo mode, Through mode, Smartphone mode, and Mix mode.

Car Stereo mode
The unit outputs the sound source of the car stereo / navigation system by passing through the iPhone / smartphone (Android).

Smartphone mode
The unit outputs the sound source of the iPhone / smartphone (Android).

Through mode
The unit outputs the sound source of the car stereo / navigation system without passing through the iPhone / smartphone (Android). (It is the same output as using this unit alone)
This mode is used when video and audio are misaligned during video playback in the Car Stereo mode.

Mix mode
The unit mixes and outputs the sound of the iPhone / smartphone (Android) and the sound of the car stereo / navigation system.
Use this mode when you want to use the voice guidance of the car stereo / navigation system while listening to the source of the iPhone / smartphone (Android). In this case, turn off the source of the car stereo / navigation system and set it so that only the voice guidance is output.
