Introduction

This manual provides instructions for using Highway 300Di. Highway is designed for professional installation and there are a number of different options for how

Highway can be connected to your existing car stereo depending on your car and your stereo.

Your installer will be able to advise you which method has been used and give you some basic instruction on how to operate Highway in your car.

There are three main components to Highway 300Di:

Main unit

Controller

Antenna

This is typically installed behind your dashboard or in a glovebox with extension cables run to convenient points for connecting your iPod, iPhone, iPad, USB device or other auxiliary music sources.

Highway

Highway 300Di Startup screen

Switching on and off

Press the button on top of the controller to switch Highway 300Di on.

To switch off press and hold the button down until the display switches off.

Forecourt pause

Ideal for quick stops at the petrol station or cashpoint, forecourt pause keeps Highway 300Di on standby for 15 minutes after you remove the keys, making sure it’s ready for your return. Restart the ignition or press the button within this period and Highway immediately tunes to the station you were listening to or plays the music you were listening to on your iPod or USB device exactly where it left off. If you’re listening to digital radio, you can even pause it for around 5-15 minutes, and resume listening without missing a second – see page 9 for more details.

Picnic mode

Continue to enjoy Highway 300Di after you’ve reached your destination with picnic mode, which enables you to listen with the ignition off and your car keys removed. Simply switch Highway on again to activate picnic mode. To save power, USB-connected devices are not charged in picnic mode and Highway will automatically shut down after an hour.

Note: Both forecourt pause and picnic mode are subject to different vehicle specifications. For example, some vehicles will only supply power to the car stereo for 15 minutes with the ignition off and the keys out.

Listening to Highway 300Di

Depending on how your unit has been installed, there are three possible methods for hearing Highway

300Di through your car stereo:

Auxiliary input Select the aux in source on your car stereo if Highway has been wired in as an auxiliary source.

FM direct inject This method effectively takes over your FM source and replaces it with output from Highway when you switch Highway on. Select the FM radio source on your car stereo and tune to a particular frequency (default 87.6 MHz). Depending on your installation this method may also retain access to your normal FM stations to allow for traffic announcements and data services used by some navigation systems. You can change this frequency in Settings, see page 15.

FM broadcast This method broadcasts the output from Highway over FM to your car antenna.

Select the FM radio source on your car stereo and tune to a particular frequency

(default 87.6 MHz). You can change this frequency in Settings, see page 15.
