Chapter 2 – General Installation

2.1 Installation location:

Most installations will require you to remove the factory radio in order to plug in the vehicle-specific harness. For

some vehicles, you will also have the option of connecting the interface to the factory pre-run CD changer cable

located in the trunk or glove box.

2.2 Tools needed:

In many cases, no special tools are required to remove the stereo. For some stereos, it is better to use car stereo

removal tools. Please consult your local car audio shop or your vehicle’s dealership for instructions or assistance as

necessary.

2.3 Preparation and adapter installation

1. Remove all CD’s from Head Unit or CD Changer then turn off car engine and remove key from ignition

2. If your radio uses a Security Code, make sure that you have the code before unplugging the radio.

3. Un-mount your radio from the dash in order to gain access to the back side of the radio. Some vehicles

require special tools to remove the radio. Please consult your vehicle’s dealership or a local car audio

professional as necessary.

4. Attach the car harness connector to the back of the stereo via the CD changer port. Connect it firmly without

forcing it. Connect the other end to the interface

5. VW / AUDI / Seat / Skoda : there is a single black cable on the vehicle specific harness (3) you will

need to attach it to the metal part of the car stereo chassis or other grounding location. Failure to attach the

black cable to the chassis of the stereo or other ground will mean that the NEO adapter will not work!

Remove the PVC from the end of the black wire (2)

(a) Connect the end of the black wire (2) to the metal part of the car stereo chassis or ground. You can

connect it under the bolt (3) if present

(b) Make sure solid contact is maintained between the striped black wire and the metal part of the car

stereo body.

6. For AUDI vehicles only: For some AUDI headunits an additional part or harness modification is required in

order to gain the access to the CD changer port. The 8-pin CD changer port on such stereos is occupied by

a solid 20-pin connector. Please contact NEO Car Audio to get a special harness to retain factory

connections

7. For BMW vehicles only: Please refer to the installation insert for the special guidelines for BMW

installation.

8. For Toyota/Honda vehicles only:

In some Toyota/Lexus/Scion and Honda/Acura vehicles the CD changer port is occupied with a factory harness

(such as NAV or audio harness). The NEO package for Toyota/Lexus or Honda/Acura includes a Y shaped

vehicle cable. In order to connect the interfaces properly please follow to the scheme below.

If the car has no NAV or XM leave the female end of the Toyota or Honda (HON1) harness open.

9. Connect Ipod Cable to the EXT2 Port and connect optional AUX or BT to the EXT1 port

10. Once the interface is connected to the radio, you will need to test the operation of the interface before re-

assembling the dash.

11. Turn your car stereo on and switch it to CD Changer mode using the Disc / Mode / CD / AUX buttons (depending

on the stereo type) on your car stereo until it shows Disc 1, Track 01 on the display. You may have to press CD

twice to access CD Changer mode.

12. Connect the iPod cable to the iPod. Turn on the iPod. You should now hear iPod music coming from the car

stereo speakers.

Once the operation of the interface is confirmed, you may continue with the installation. If you experience

difficulties with the installation, please see our troubleshooting section.

13. Find a place where you can place the module. In many cars there is enough room inside the dashboard to place

the module.

Note: Make sure you mount the module in a place with enough room so that, when you re-mount the car stereo,

you do not break the adapter.

14. You may use the glove box or other spaces on the dash to direct the audio cables out.

15. Re-mount your car stereo, making sure its clips or screws are secure.

Adapter mounting in the trunk (for VW and BMW only)

1. Locate the trunk mounting cable in your car (usually located along the left side of the car in the back).

2. Disconnect the existing CD changer, if present.

3. Attach the matching cables

Note for BMW trunk installation:

Some BMW’s are factory wired for a cellular phone. Except for wire location, the factory cellular phone connector looks

identical to the factory 3-pin connector used for the CD changer. The CORRECT 3-pin connector for the CD changer has

a BROWN wire (ground) in the #1 pin position. Please make certain you use this connector.

The INCORRECT factory cellular phone connector has a BROWN wire in the center position—DO NOT USE THIS

CONNECTOR.

3.2 Basic features

The 3V9-iPod adapter has two modes of operation:

3.2.1 Simple mode:

iPod stays unlocked. Your iPod can be controlled via its clickwheel or via car stereo controls. The information

displayed on your car stereo does not represent the actual song position on the iPod (the song’s number). There is

no need to prepare your iPod to play in this mode. The simple mode is always selectable by choosing CD1 (DISC1)

from the car stereo. To switch to advanced mode, just select any disk other than 1. Please refer to the section 3.3

of this manual for the description of the supported operations in the Simple Mode.

3.2.2 Advanced mode:

Your iPod is locked for control and only operated via car stereo buttons. In this mode all data is synched between

the stereo and iPod which allows you to see current information such as track time, number and playlist (disc)

number. Text is also available for certain stereos. In order to use this mode you have to prepare your iPod as

explained below.

The advanced mode is always on for disks 2-9. To switch to simple mode just select DISC 1

“Ok to disconnect” is shown on the iPod display while it is connected to this unit. The clickwheel of the iPod is

disabled when in this mode.

3.3 Supported operations in Simple Mode

In simple mode, your iPod behaves in its usual fashion, with the clickwheel and display being functional. The following

controls are possible from the car stereo:

-Next track

When pressed on the car stereo, the iPod will jump to the next song and the car stereo track number will increase

by 1.

-Previous track

When pressed on the car stereo, the iPod will jump to the previous song and the car stereo track number will

decrease by 1

-Fast Forward

When pressed, the iPod will start moving quickly through the current track.

-Fast Reverse

When pressed, the iPod will start rewinding the current track.

-Play/Pause

When the stereo is turned to the CD changer mode, the iPod will automatically start playing. Turning the stereo

off or switching to another source (FM, AM, etc.) will cause the iPod to pause the current track.

-Disk Change

When changing the disk other than 1 the iPod will switch to the Advanced Mode

None of the information displayed during the simple mode is related to the song currently playing. The

display will show: DISC 1 TRACK xx TIME 00:00. Track information can change from 00-99.

3.4 Supported operations in Advanced Mode

In advanced mode iPod controls will be locked and the following operations will be supported:

-Next track

When pressed on car stereo, iPod will jump to the next song and car stereo track number will represent song

number in a current playlist

-Previous track

When pressed on car stereo, iPod will jump to the previous song and car stereo track number will represent song

number in a current playlist

-Fast Forward

When pressed iPod will start rewinding current track forward. Time on car stereo will represent actual position

within the audio track

-Fast Reverse

When pressed iPod will start rewinding current track backward. Time on car stereo will represent actual position

within the audio track

-Play/Pause

When stereo is turned into CD changer mode the iPod will automatically start playing in simple mode at the last

position it was left.

-Scan

Allow to skip tracks by 10 when set. Next track will jump to current track+10. Previous track will jump to current

track-10. It is helpful to skip the whole album (usually ~10 songs)

-Disk Change

When you select Disk 2-9, iPod will stay in Advanced Mode and will resume last playing track in a playlist. Once

DISK 1 is selected, iPod will switch over to Simple Mode

-Mix/Random

When turned on it will allow playing songs in a shuffle mode through the whole playlist. The track enumeration will

start from 1. When switched off, track enumeration will be restored to the real order in the playlist.

-Repeat

When turned on, will play first track in the playlist after the last track is played.

The display will show disk number, track number and track time of the currently playing track.

3.5 Playlists set up for advanced mode

To use your iPod in Advanced Mode you have to define playlists. The number of playlists depends on the stereo

(usually 5-8). We recommend naming the playlists starting with the number according to the desirable disc position.

1-Andy’s songs

3-Favorites

4-House rhythms

5-Smooth Jazz

“1-Andy’s songs” will be mapped to Disc 2; “2-Disco dance” will be mapped to DISC 3, and so on. Therefore selecting

DISC 2 on car stereo will play “1-Andy’s songs” playlist; DISC 3 will select “3-Disco songs” and so on.

Note: For stereos with disc ^ and disc

you may set up to 10 playlists, on some stereos up to 99.

We strongly recommend that you organize your songs into playlists and enumerate them for proper operation of this unit.

If your iPod does not have playlists/songs it may cause unpredictable outcomes and improper operation of the

unit.

EMPTY PLAYLISTS MAY ALSO CAUSE UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOURS, ESPECIALLY EMPTY PLAYLISTS THAT

ARE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OTHER PLAYLISTS.

Note for iPhone users: Once connected to the NEO adapter, your iPhone will register a message stating “This

accessory is not made to work with iPhone.” Simply dismiss the message. It may also ask if you want to “Turn ON the

Airplane Mode.” Please answer “NO”. If the stereo still does not recognize the iPhone, please restart the iPhone

3.6 When the car ignition is OFF

When you turn your car stereo or car ignition off, the iPod will pause, it will then go into sleep mode or other default mode

after being paused. In sleep mode, the iPod will still consume power—although very little—from the car battery. The iPod

is NOT charging when ignition is off. There is no need to disconnect the iPod every time you turn off your car.

However, it is strongly advised that you disconnect the iPod if you do not plan to operate your car for extended

periods.

3.7 Using EXT1 for AUX-IN on your NEO 3V9 adapter

You can connect any alternative audio sources such as MP3 player, DVD, GPS, XM and etc. to the Neo Car Audio

adapter via Mini Din to RCA and 3.5mm phone jack cable (must be purchased separately, is not included in the basic

package). Connect MiniDin end of the cable to the adapter. Connect 3.5mm end to the audio source. Turn ON the audio

source and the stereo. Put stereo into CD changer mode. The music will start playing. We recommend that you unplug the

iPod/iPhone from the dock connector if you are using the AUX-IN RCA 3.5mm cable on Neo Car Audio adapter. If you

don’t unplug the iPod/iPhone and connect the 3.5mm audio source at the same time some sound interference may occur.

3.8 Using EXT1 for Bluetooth connection on your Neo Car Audio 3V9 adapter

You may connect the NEO Bluetooth Dongle to the EXT port on the 3V9 adapter for the hands free use of your mobile

phone and wireless music play. Please refer to the NEO Bluetooth Dongle manual that is supplied with your Bluetooth

Dongle. You can also access the manual online at NEO Car Audio website http://neocaraudio.com/pdf/BLUBTDV9.pdf

The Bluetooth and iPod cables can be connected at the same time and work simultaneously.
