DETAILS
This
USB Interface by Grom Audio is a state of the art product that allows
you to directly connect your USB thumb drive through the auxiliary input
port (normally used for CD Changers and/or satellite radio) of your
factory radio. (See more details below.) The cable that connects this to
your radio is a T-harness, so it has a plug to allow you, in most
cases, to retain a factory auxiliary input currently connected to the
radio. The cable that connects to your USB drive is 3 feet long, so
you'll have plenty of routing options.
If you have an Android phone
or tablet, you can use this interface to play music from it through the
car radio. Song title, artist and album will display on the radio. You
will also have some limited controls from the radio and/or the steering
wheel controls. In addition, it will charge the device. You will have to
download the free AALinQ App from the Google Play App Market to utilize
this feature. You will also need a USB cable to connect the phone to
the interface. PLEASE NOTE: this is for playback of music only. Calling
features are not supported unless you purchase the Bluetooth kit
that is optional. We HIGHLY recommend you visit the manufacturer's
website if you have questions regarding the Android interface features.
If you have an Apple iPod
or iPhone, you can use this interface to play music from it through the
car radio. You will also have some limited controls from the radio
and/or the steering wheel controls. In addition, it will charge the
device. You will need the OEM Apple USB cable to connect your Apple
product to the interface. PLEASE NOTE: this is for playback of music
only. Calling features are not supported unless you purchase the Bluetooth kit
that is optional. We HIGHLY recommend you visit the manufacturer's
website if you have questions regarding iPod interface features.
If you want to direct connect a device using a standard 3.5mm stereo mini headphone jack, you can do that too. We're including the Grom 35MDN cable with this bundle. We're also including a dash-mountable USB/Aux extension cable so you can eliminate wires hanging out from under your dash. Use it with either the included bracket or drill a hole in your console/dash/glove-box for a professional, OEM type install. Plug your device right into the extension. No more ugly wires that are hard to hide!
This product is capable of working in
remote CD Changer or satellite mode, making it compatible in a greater
variety of vehicles. As delivered, it typically operates in CD Changer
(CDC) mode. Your radio must have a SAT/AUX, XM/AUX or AUX button AND your vehicle must be
on the Application or Compatibility List in this ad. Use of a given
mode will require disconnection of a factory device using that same
mode. For instance, if your radio does not have satellite capability
but does have remote CD changer control capability, you can use this
product but your remote CD changer (separate from the radio) would have
to be disconnected, if so equipped. Likewise, if your radio does not
have remote CD changer controls but does have satellite capability, this
will work in satellite mode but would require disconnection of your
factory satellite system, if so equipped. It should be noted that there
will be no text or numerical display if this device is used in CD
Changer mode. Also of note: changing the mode of operation from the
delivered mode will require a firmware update from the gromaudio
website. We recommend you contact tech support for the
manufacturer and/or visit the gromaudio website to
determine exactly how it's going to function in your vehicle with your
options.
OPTIONAL CABLE INFORMATION
Unlike
some competitor's products, this interface includes TWO extra input
ports so you can add up to two other devices with the use of additional cables. One such cable, the 35MDN aux input, is included in this particular bundle. Another is optional and is available in a separate listing:
-
If you purchase the Bluetooth kit (item GABTD in a separate listing), you can connect a Bluetooth enabled
cell phone (iPhone, Android or regular) that supports HFP (Hands Free
Profiles) and listen to the conversation over your car speakers, while
speaking through the microphone that comes with the Bluetooth kit.
You can also use it to stream music from your phone wirelessly if your
phone supports A2DP. What's more, you can control the music on your
phone from your radio and/or steering wheel controls using AVRCP
wireless audio controls. The Bluetooth kit is specific to the Grom interface, so you do have to buy the Grom version if you want Bluetooth.
We
recommend you visit the gromaudio website (and/or contact tech support)
to determine exactly how it's going to function in your vehicle with
your options.
