iPod
® 
Requirements
Drive + Play is designed to work with all iPods equipped with
the following Apple
®
hardware and software:
1. iPod dock port
2. iPod software
As long as both of these requirements are met, Drive + Play
can be easily added to virtually any mobile audio system for
total control of your iPod.
Drive + Play Warnings
Distraction Warning
Do not connect or disconnect your iPod or program Drive +
Play while driving. Always be careful and attentive to your
vehicle and the traffic around you. Always obey all traffic laws
while driving. Always pull off the road and park in a position
you are sure presents absolutely no risk before browsing your
iPod or adjusting the settings on your Drive + Play.
Connecting the iPod
Always hold the Drive + Play’s iPod dock connector by its
sides and gently insert (or remove) the dock connector. Never
use excessive force to insert or remove the connector, or
damage to your iPod may occur.
Lost Data
Harman/Kardon is not responsible for any lost data on your
iPod when using the Drive + Play. Be sure to back up the
audio data files on your computer.
Loud Music and Hearing
Playing loud music in a vehicle can permanently damage your
hearing, as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic. The
maximum volume levels achievable with this product,
combined with high power amplification, may exceed safe
levels for extended listening. We recommend using low
volume levels when driving. Harman/Kardon accepts no
liability for hearing loss, bodily injury, or property damage as
a result of use or misuse of this product.
Headphones and Driving
Do not use headphones while operating a vehicle. This
practice is illegal in some areas. Always be careful and atten-
tive to your vehicle and the traffic around you. Always obey
all traffic laws while driving. Drive + Play’s audio output is not
suitable for driving headphones and is intended to output a
signal appropriate for an audio system’s line-level input jack.
About Installation
Although we recommend professional installation for your
Harman/Kardon Drive + Play, this product is designed for 
do-it-yourself installation as well. Although the enclosed
instructions explain how to install the Drive + Play in a
general sense, they do not show the exact methods for your
particular vehicle. After reading the manual, if you feel
uncomfortable in performing the necessary steps to install
the product, consider asking your car-audio dealer about 
professional installation options.

Tools and Precautions

•  Phillips screwdriver set
•  Pencil
•  Protective eyewear
Before starting the installation, please observe the following
precautions:
•  Turn off all audio system power, including the iPod, before
making any connections.
•  Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
Choosing Installation Locations
IMPORTANT: Drive + Play should be installed according to
these instructions and relevant regulations. No part of
this system should obstruct the driver’s view of the road
or vehicle controls or information displays necessary for
safely operating the vehicle. The text display should be
positioned to eliminate glare and reflections, and should
be as close as possible to the driver’s normal line of sight.
Drive + Play Components
Drive + Play consists of three main components: Text Display,
Control Knob and Electronics Enclosure. They operate toget-
her as a system to make controlling your iPod easy, and to
route the audio signal to your mobile audio system. All three
components must be installed. You can choose wired FM
transmission or direct connection of the line-output audio
signal for the audio interface.
Text Display Location
The Text Display shows current iPod information and is similar
to the display on your iPod. It comes with a three-position
pivot arm for virtually limitless viewing adjustment. You can
install the unit in a variety of locations, as long as the
proposed site offers a direct view of the display. For easiest
viewing, mount the unit near other instrument-panel gauges
or on top of the dashboard.
Control Knob Location
The Control Knob allows you to control the iPod much like the
iPod Click Wheel. The unit comes with three interchangeable
bases so you can choose the most comfortable operation
angle. Ideally, you should install the Control Knob in a location
that provides comfortable access while driving where you can
easily feel and operate it without taking your eyes off the road.

Choosing Installation Locations (continued)
Electronics Enclosure Location
The Electronics Enclosure contains the FM transmitter and
power supply for the three components. You can install it
under a seat, in the center console compartment, or in the
glove box. If possible, select a site that provides both conve-
nient access to the enclosure and easy cable routing. 
Drive + Play also provides an audio interface to a cell phone,
satellite radio, or any other device that outputs a low-level
audio signal using the Aux In jack. When using the Auxiliary
Input feature, select a mounting site for the electronics 
enclosure that provides easy access to the Aux In jack. Other-
wise, you will need to purchase a 3.5mm stereo extension
cable for a longer cable run (see Wiring Diagram on page 5).
iPod Location
With this system, you can place your iPod in any location that
allows you to conveniently connect it to the Drive + Play iPod
cable. Since you don’t have to view the iPod or use its con-
trols, you can place it inside the center console compartment,
the glove box, or another hidden site.
NOTE: Since an iPod can get hot during operation, avoid
tightly enclosed areas. Review “About Operating and Storage
Temperatures” in your iPod’s User’s Guide.
Planning the Installation
IMPORTANT: When routing wires from any of the compo-
nents to the electronics enclosure, be sure to route them
away from any moving parts such as the gear-shift levers,
pedals, parking brake and steering column.
Temporarily place the main components at their proposed
sites and lay out their interconnect cables to judge the cable
routes (see Wiring Diagram on page 5 for wiring options). If a
cable comes up short, try moving one or more components to
find a better run. Next, inspect the vehicle’s interior assembly
and locate areas where cables can be hidden or tucked into
seams (e.g., under the center console housing, along body
panel, etc.). Once you have found the ideal cable runs and
component locations, mark the sites with a pencil and
continue with the installation.
Choosing an Audio Interface
Referring to the Wiring Diagram on the next page, you can
interface the Drive + Play’s audio output to your mobile audio
system in two ways:
Wired FM Transmission
This method uses a direct connection (via the Antenna jack on
the Electronics Enclosure) to your radio’s antenna input (see
Wiring Diagram on the next page). After setup, you simply
tune your radio to the assigned FM frequency to listen to your
iPod. Drive + Play’s software provides a choice of five fixed FM
frequencies or a tunable frequency for areas where none of
the fixed frequency selections are available. See Initial Setup
on page 9 for details.
NOTE: Depending on your vehicle model, antenna plug 
adaptors may be required to connect the Wired FM Adaptor
to your radio and antenna.
Connecting to Audio Out
This method provides the best sound quality, but involves
more wiring. After making the connections and setup, you will
select Auxiliary Input or CD Changer on your audio system to
listen to your iPod. See Initial Setup on page 9 for details.
NOTE: In order to use the Audio Out, your audio system must
have an auxiliary input jack or a CD changer input. A third-
party interface is required for a CD changer interface. If your
system has neither feature, wired FM transmission is the only
choice for the audio interface.  
Choosing a Power Interface
Referring to the Wiring Diagram on the next page, you can
connect Drive + Play’s power connections to your vehicle’s
electrical system in one of two ways:
Removable 12-Volt Accessory Power Cable With
Cigarette Lighter Adaptor
This power interface is the most convenient, since the power
cable can be simply plugged into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter
outlet. No additional wiring is required. The cigarette lighter
adaptor is fuse-protected, and the fuse can be changed by
removing the adaptor’s end nut.
NOTE: If your cigarette lighter works even when the car’s
ignition switch is in the “off” position, you’ll have to turn
Drive + Play on manually. It can be turned off manually, or it
will shut off automatically after one hour of inactivity.
