to the dash.
Good locations include the sun visor, the top of
the A-pillar, and the edge of your roof-mounted
center console (if equipped)*.

your vehicle. Consult your local car dealer for more information.

Step 4: Plug in your iPod
Plug the antenna into the port
marked “ANTENNA” on the
power supply.
Plug your iPod into the dock connector.
Plug the Bluetooth microphone into the port marked
“MICROPHONE” on the
power supply.

applications, it can be placed next to the power
supply. The eX-10 controls and charges your
iPod, so no need to mount it where you have
access to the iPod’s controls.
Place the power supply into a
hidden location in your car, like
inside the center console or the
glove box. Use the supplied hookand-loop fastening tape to secure it.
The installation is complete! Turn on your car’s
ignition and power up the eX-10.

Set up your eX-10
Set up your eX-10
Here’s how to get your eX-10 working properly in your car.
Step 2: Set up your car’s radio to work with the eX-10
Step 1: Select your language and set the output mode
The eX-10 broadcasts audio to your car stereo
just like an FM radio station.
Tune your car radio to an FM frequency where
there is no radio reception (for example, 88.3MHz).
Save a few of these blank stations in your car
radio’s preset memories for use with the eX-10’s
FM transmitter.
Push the “SETUP” button, then use the
button to scroll down to “General”.
Tap “ENTER” twice, then select your language
using the
and
buttons. Tap “ENTER”
to select.
Select “Transmitter” from the eX-10’s “SETUP”
menu, then press and hold “ENTER” for two
seconds. Use the
and
buttons to
select the same frequency as shown on your
car radio display. Press “ENTER” to set this
frequency as a preset in the eX-10. You can
set up to four different frequencies using this
method*. Your car’s radio and the eX-10 must
be tuned to the same frequency to hear audio
output.
You’re still in “SETUP” mode, so tap the
button three times until you get to “Output Mode”.
Tap “ENTER”, and use the
button to select
“Wire Transmitter”. Press “ENTER” to select the
“Wire Transmitter” mode.
Now, tap the
button to get back to the
“SETUP” menu.
*Note: If one of your selected frequencies encounters a strong FM signal while driving, interference may be
heard while listening to iPod or Bluetooth. Changing presets to match frequencies on both your car stereo
and on your eX-10 can solve this problem quickly.
