Introduction and Precautions

Thank you for purchasing the Rockford Fosgate Interface Module for iPod.The Interface

Module was designed and manufactured to seamlessly integrate with your vehicle’s factory

system.To get the best performance from this device, read this manual before doing any

type of installation.

Practice Safe Sound™

Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent

hearing loss. High powered auto sound systems may produce sound pressure levels

well over 130dB. Use common sense and practice safe sound.

This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to alert the user to the

presence of important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions can

result in injury, damage to the vehicle or unit damage.

CAUTION:To prevent injury and damage to the unit, please read and

follow the instructions in this manual.We want you to enjoy

this system, not get a headache.

CAUTION:If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it

installed by a qualiﬁed Rockford Fosgate technician.

CAUTION:For your safety, ensure the iPod interface module is mounted

in a location that will not interfere with the proper and safe

operation of the vehicle.

CAUTION:Before installation, disconnect the vehicle battery, both

positive (+) and negative (-) terminals, to prevent damage to

the unit, ﬁre and/or possible injury.

iPod Firmware

For proper operation of the interface module, ensure your iPod is updated with the

latest ﬁrmware. Free updates can be downloaded from http:/www.apple.com/ipod/

download/.The directions on the site will guide you through the update process.

Installation

It is recommended that this installation only be performed by a qualiﬁed professional.

Beware of sharp edges to avoid injury and exercise caution when removing trims as they

may break. Ensure the mounting location does not interfere with the safe operation of the

vehicle (i.e.. near steering, foot pedal controls, parking brake or shifter).

NOTE: Some radios will not have RCA inputs and will require custom installation.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the radio code is available before starting this installation.

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install

the unit.

2. Disconnect both battery terminals.These cables must be disconnected during

installation to ensure proper initialization of the interface module when it is connected.

3. Carefully remove surrounding trim to access the radio mounting screws. Most trims

can be removed by carefully pulling on the piece or using trim removal tools.Trim is

usually held in place by snap-in clips.

4. Remove the bolts that hold the radio in place. Carefully pull the radio away from

the console.Take care not to damage the wire connections at the back of the radio.

Consult your dealership if additional information is needed on removing the radio.

Installation

NOTE: When routing harnesses or cables, ensure they are secured away from sharp

edges and moving parts by the use of cable ties.

5. Access the AUX port on the back of the radio. Connect the red and white colored

AUX audio connectors into the red and white colored receptacle on the radio. If the

factory AUX port already has something connected, it must be disconnected.

6. Connect the +12V, GND and REM wire leads to their proper sources.

7. Connect the harness to the Power connector on the interface module.

8. Connect the iPod cable to the interface module and carefully route it to the location

where the iPod will be mounted (such as the glove box or center console). If an

additional audio device will also be used (mp3, DVD player, etc.) connect its audio

cable to the 1/8” mini-jack.

9. Verify that all connections have been properly made.

10. Reinstall the radio and reconnect the vehicle battery.Turn the ignition on, connect

the iPod and test the unit. Follow the proceedure in step 11 ‘Gain Adjustment’ before

reinstalling the panels/trim.

NOTE: If an additional audio device is connected through the 1/8”mini-jack, it will become

active when the iPod is disconnected.

11. Gain Adjustment – The potentiometers located on the interface unit are used to

adjust the gain settings for the iPod and AUX jack to properly match the radio’s input

level.We recommend setting the Interface Module output level to match the factory

CD or AM/FM station’s sound level.

NOTE: Use a small phillips head screw driver or a plastic pot adjuster tool to adjust the

potentiometers.

Operation

Connecting Your iPod

The interface automatically charges the battery of the iPod when

connected and the key is in the ACC/ON position.The charging icon will

appear on the upper right corner of the iPod screen to indicate charging.

NOTE: We recommend disconnecting your iPod when not in use or when the vehicle is

turned off.

CAUTION:Some vehicles supply constant power even when the ignition

is off.To prevent the vehicle battery being drained or possibly

damaged, the iPod MUST be disconnected in these vehicles.

Using the AUX integration

Connect the iPod to the dock cable and select the auxiliary source on the radio.The

charging indicator should appear on the iPod and a selected song will start to play. If an

additional audio device is connected through the 1/8”mini-jack, it will become active when

the iPod is disconnected.

NOTE: Some vehicles require the ignition to be in the on position to provide ACC power.

In this case the interface unit will not function until ignition is turned on.
