Direct Connection of the 12-Volt Power Harness With 
In-Line Fuse Holder

Use this method when you want a permanent power connec-
tion to the vehicle. Also, by connecting the harness’s red wire
to the ignition switch’s ACC terminal, Drive + Play will turn on

or off with the vehicle’s ignition (ACC) switch. An in-line fuse
holder provides protection for the unit.

Installing Components

Installing the Electronics Enclosure

At the selected site, install the Electronics Enclosure. Use either
the enclosed cable ties or mounting screws, as shown below.

Installing the Text Display

1. Temporarily place the Text Display at the proposed site

and check the default viewing angle while adjusting the
pivot arm. If it meets your needs, then skip to step 2.
Otherwise, change the viewing angle as follows:

a. Using the 3 mm hex key, loosen the recessed hex screw

(inside the display base) until the pivot arm is free from
the display assembly. The hex screw will remain captive.

b. Select another viewing angle position (middle or top).

Reassemble the parts in reverse order and tighten the
recessed hex screw.

2. At the base, using the 1.5mm hex key, loosen (but do not

remove) the hex setscrew.

3. To install the Text Display with adhesive tape, perform the

following steps or skip to step 4:

a. Insert the mounting plate, rotate it 180°, and tighten

the hex setscrew as shown below. 

b. At the proposed site, wipe the surface and exposed

mounting plate with one of the enclosed alcohol pads.
Allow both to dry.

c.  Remove the protective tape from one side of one of the

enclosed adhesive pads, and press the pad against the
mounting plate.

d.  Remove the remaining protective tape, and press and

hold the Text Display to its site for 5 seconds.

4. To install the Text Display with mounting screws, perform

the following steps:

a. At the proposed site, place the mounting plate and

rotate it so that the arrow will point toward the hex 
set-screw at the back of the base after it’s mounted.

b. Holding the mounting plate in position, fasten it to the

surface with three enclosed mounting screws.

c. Place the Text Display on the mounting plate (180°

from its final position), and then rotate it a half-turn to
the final position. Tighten the hex setscrew at the back
of the base.

5. Route the attached cable to the Electronics Enclosure.

Installing the Control Knob

NOTE: The Control Knob’s cable can be routed differently 
for adhesive or screw mounting. The default cable route is
through the back of the base and should be used when
mounting the base with the supplied adhesive pad. For screw
mounting, the cable can be routed through the center of the
base and through a hole that must be drilled in the mounting
surface. You may use the mounting plate as a template.

1. Place the Control Knob at the site and check the operation

angle with the default 30° base. If it meets your needs,
then skip to step 2. Otherwise, change the base as follows:

a. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws

from the bottom of the base and set the internal
mounting plate aside.

b. While holding the base, grasp the Control Knob and turn

it to the right until you feel it release from the base.
Slide the base off the attached cable and put it aside. 

c. Select another base (0° or 60°) and thread the cable

through the base to meet the Control Knob.

d. Place the new base against the Control Knob bottom and

turn it to the left until it locks. Route the attached cable
through the base’s opening. Fasten the internal mounting
plate to the base with the screw(s) from step a.

NOTE: The 60° base uses two screws, while the 0° base
uses one screw.

Installing the Control Knob (continued)

2. At the base (below the cable), using the 1.5mm hex key,

loosen (but do not remove) the hex setscrew.

3. To install the Control Knob with adhesive tape, perform the

following steps or skip to step 4:

a. Insert the mounting plate, rotate it 180°, and tighten

the hex setscrew.

b. At the site, wipe the surface and exposed mounting

plate with one of the enclosed alcohol pads. Allow both
to dry.

c.  Remove the protective tape from one side of one of the

enclosed adhesive pads, and press the pad against the
mounting plate.

d.  Remove the remaining protective tape, and press and

hold the Control Knob to its site for 5 seconds.

4. To install the Control Knob with mounting screws, perform

the following steps:

a. At the proposed site, place the mounting plate and

rotate it so that the arrow will point toward the hex 
set-screw at the back of the base after it’s mounted.

b. Holding the mounting plate in position, fasten it to the

surface with three enclosed mounting screws.

c.  Using the mounting plate’s center hole as a template,

drill a hole through the mounting surface and pass the
Control Knob’s cable through the hole.

d. Place the Control Knob on the mounting plate (180°

from its final position), and then rotate it a half-turn to
the final position. Tighten the hex setscrew at the back
of the base.

5. Route the attached cable to the Electronics Enclosure.

Installing the iPod Cable

Route the iPod dock connector cable to the chosen iPod site
(e.g., the center console compartment or the glove box). Be
sure to leave enough cable exposed to make connecting and
disconnecting the iPod easy.

Making the System Connections

With all power off, refer to the Wiring Diagram on page 5 and
make only the power, ground and audio signal connections
that apply to the scheme you have chosen. After verifying all
connections including the iPod, proceed to the next section,
Operating Drive + Play.

OPERATING DRIVE + PLAY

Distraction Warning

Do not connect or disconnect your iPod or program Drive +
Play while driving. Always pull off the road and park in a 
position that you are absolutely sure presents no risk before
browsing your iPod or adjusting the settings on your Drive +
Play. Always obey all traffic laws while driving.
