  • Page 4: Safety Precautions

    Keep your hands on the wheel and keep your eyes on the road! Never attempt to open your Insane Audio head unit or repair it yourself. Doing so is not only dangerous, but it will void your warranty.

  • Page 5: Hardware And Buttons

    Hardware and buttons This section will focus on Insane Audio’s JK1001 but the same general principles apply for other Insane Audio android based head units. The following buttons are on the right side of your JK1001… This nob controls songs/ radio stations and mute.
  • Page 6 This is the Mini USB to full size adapter cable. The smaller end plugs into the JK1001 and allows you to plug a full size USB drive into the larger end. This way you can access music, movies or other information from a full size USB...

  • Page 7: Applications And Widgets

    Applications & Widgets This is the main menu of your Insane Audio head unit. At the top of your screen you will see an icon with six squares grouped together. We call this the ‘six pack’. Clicking on the six pack will lead you to the app drawer where you can view all applications currently installed on the system.
  • Page 8 Quick Start Guide, there are over 2 million apps available on the Google Play store. Many of them are free and almost all of them will work with your new Insane Audio head unit! To move an application from the app drawer to your home screen, simply press and hold on the specific app and drag where you would like that app to be.
  • Page 9 Applications & Widgets It’s important to understand the differences between icons on your home screen and applications in the app drawer. Icons on your home screen are simply shortcuts to applications so you can move or delete these however you’d like. To delete an icon from your home screen, simply hold it down then drag it to the trash.
  • Page 10 Your Insane Audio head unit already contains a bunch of cool widgets that we put on there for you. To access them, press the six pack, then swipe the screen past all of the applications.
  • Page 11 Applications & Widgets To move a widget to your home screen, simply repeat the drag and drop method for apps. And to delete one off your home screen, just drag and drop to the top red bar. Of course, you can always download additional widgets from the Google Play store.
  • Page 12 Touch Screen DISPLAY All Insane Audio head units come with extremely high quality, high resolution, fully capacitive touch screen displays. That means that not only does it look great, but you can navigate the system and access data in a far more enriching experience then ever possible before.

  • Page 13: Touch Screen Display

    Touch Screen DISPLAY You can adjust the brightness of your screen by swiping down from the top of the screen at the main menu and clicking on the brightness icon.

  • Page 14: Adjusting The Led Backlighting

    LED BACKLIGHTING You can adjust your LED backlighting to be any color you’d like. To do this, first go to the settings menu (accessible through the app drawer) then look for Element under the DEVICE section. In here, you will be able to customize your LED backlighting.

  • Page 15: Setting The Date & Time

    Setting the Date & Time There are two places where the time is set: the system settings and the clock widget. The system settings can be accessed by pressing the six pack. Then find the settings icon...
  • Page 16 Setting the Date & Time From the settings menu, select Date & Time. There are a lot of options here, but we recommend starting simple and then playing around with advanced features as you get more comfortable. To that effect, turn off all three automatic time checkboxes, and manually set your date, time and time zone.
  • Page 17 Setting the Date & Time The clock widget is on the main menu and has its own time controls as well as some pretty cool features. For example, you can set a "home" time zone. Then, when you drive to a different time zone it will automatically add another clock and show both your home time and your local time.
  • Page 18 Setting the Date & Time Remove the "automatic home clock" checkbox. Set your home time zone. Then go back one menu and click on the little GPS pin icon on the bottom left. This will bring up a list of world cities. Note that if you check any of these boxes, then the time for that city will appear on the clock widget.

  • Page 19: Adjusting Sound

    Adjusting Sound InsaneEQ gives you full control over how things sound inside your vehicle. The easiest way to access this is to swipe down from the top of your screen and select AMP InsaneEQ Balance / Fade adjustments...

    SAFETY FEATURES Safety Precautions Your Insane Audio head unit is shipped to you from our factory with certain safety precautions enabled, however, this can be customized just like everything else on the system. IMPORTANT: Please use your Insane Audio head unit responsibly! Do not operate or attempt to watch video while driving.
  • Page 21 SAFETY FEATURES Safety Precautions Select settings, then scroll with your finger to the bottom of the settings page and click on the ‘Driving Safety’ option.
  • Page 22 Playing Music: This setting will allow your portable storage unit to automatically play music when you plug it in. Reversing Sound: While backing up, your Insane Audio head unit will automatically display your rearview camera. It will also mute all sound by default to allow the driver to focus on reversing.

  • Page 23: Music Player

    Music Player There are many ways in which you can play music on your Insane Audio head unit. Perhaps one of the best ways is to play music that has been stored onto a microSD card or USB thumb drive.
  • Page 24 First, you’ll want to plug your media into a computer and load it up with music. After you have copied some music over, you’ll want to insert this media into your Insane Audio head unit. Important note: In order for media to be recognized by the Android operating system, it needs to be formatted properly.
  • Page 25 Music icon from the home menu. Clicking on the folder icon on the bottom right will allow you to change the source for your music. Remember, your Insane Audio head unit is designed to play music from a number of different media sources.
  • Page 26 Music Player The menu button on the right of the music player will expand to show available media. Select a song and turn up the volume!

  • Page 27: Video Player

    Similar to adding music to media being accessed by your Insane Audio head unit, you can also add movies to your storage media. Your Insane Audio head unit will play videos in most modern file formats. Once you have videos on your microSD card or a thumb drive, you can access them in the video app on the main menu.

  • Page 28: Cd/Dvd Player

  • Page 29 CD/DVD Player You can control playback through the app by using the touch screen interface. Simply touch the screen, and the movie controls will appear. Touch the screen again and the controls will be hidden until you need them next.

  • Page 30: Radio App

    Radio app If you are looking for some good old fashioned AM/FM radio, you can find the radio app right on your main menu screen.
  • Page 31 Radio app In the radio app, at the top you have a row of buttons -- FM1, FM2, FM3, AM1, AM2. These are just your AM and FM bands. On the very bottom, you have a row of your presets. To set a preset, simply tune to a station you'd like to preset then hold (long press) one of the bottom buttons and it will store the preset for you.
  • Page 32 Radio app ST toggles between Stereo and Mono and LOC will toggle between local and distant frequency handling. Your Insane Audio head unit also contains some advanced digital radio functionality. AF enables alternate frequencies. This allows the tuner to automatically shift to a different frequency broadcasting the same digital tag when the first signal becomes too weak.
  • Page 33 Radio app The TA button will automatically scan for Traffic Announcements in your area. PTY is a self destruct button. DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
  • Page 34 Simply push the button, then your Insane Audio unit will give you a list of program types, select what you'd like to listen to and it'll try to find it.
  • Page 35 Radio app The other thing you’re going to want to know about the radio is the AMS button on the face of your Insane Audio head unit. AMS is an Automatic Music Search. This is a good feature for when you're driving to an unknown area. Simply press the button and it will scan through stations and set your presets automatically.

  • Page 36: Ipod App

    IPOD App Insane Audio supports both classic iPods and newer style iPods (you’ll need an adapter) by using the included iPod cable. Most folks wire their iPod cable to the glove box. The iPod application is available in the app drawer (by pressing the six pack) or it will automatically launch when an iPod is plugged in.
  • Page 37 IPOD App By default, the menu on the right allows you to select artists or songs. Insane Audio’s iPod The folder on the bottom right will access additional options Insane Audio’s iPod...
  • Page 38 Here you can pick playlists you have set up, see your artists and albums. It is worth noting that your Insane Audio head unit was specifically built to be able to support both old style iPods and new style iPods. We did this simply because we want our users to have more options and maximum compatibility.
  • Page 39 Insane Audio head unit: •Always plug the adapter into your iPod first, then into the Insane Audio cable after. Your iPod doesn't play nicely with your Insane Audio head unit the other way around.

  • Page 40: Bluetooth

    BlueTooth Setup Your Insane Audio head unit can connect to all kinds of different Bluetooth devices. For example, you can connect to your smartphone for both handsfree calling and media streaming. The first step, is to launch the Bluetooth app from the...

  • Page 48: Using Wifi

    Using WIFI Your Insane Audio head unit comes with a high quality, ruggedized WiFi antenna designed to pickup a nearby WiFi signal. Most users use their smartphone as a mobile hotspot (sometimes called WiFi tethering) to have Internet connectivity on the go! To setup WiFi, first press the six pack then enter the settings app.
  • Page 49 Using WIFI In the Settings app, select Wi-Fi Turn WiFi on, then you will see available connections.
  • Page 50 Using WIFI Then simply click on the preferred signal and click ‘Connect’ Depending on the network settings, you may or may not be prompted for a password.

  • Page 51: Insane Navengine

  • Page 52 Insane NavEngine Insane NavEngine is fairly intuitive, but has enough features and functionality to warrant a separate instruction manual. Click here for the Insane NavEngine instruction manual or visit our website at www.insanejeepaudio.com...

  • Page 53: Downloading Additional Apps

  • Page 56: Frequently Asked Questions

    Answer: You most likely have AF turned on in the radio app. AF is short for alternative frequency. Having this turned on means that if your Insane Audio unit senses a weak signal, it will automatically scan to try and find another station broadcasting the same digital tag.

  • Page 60: Appendix A: Setting Up The Torque App

    Appendix a: Torque Setup Your Insane Audio head unit comes with the Torque app pre- installed. While this isn’t something that we build or support directly at Insane Audio, it’s pretty darn cool so we included it on your system. To that effect, this guide should help you get started in setting it up for the first time.

  • Page 73 Appendix B: Using torque •Note that Torque can only display data that is available on your Jeep’s computer. If a gauge says “no data” that doesn’t mean that it’s broken… it just means that the information simply isn’t available. For example, unless you have a turbo that was installed at the Jeep factory, then you aren’t going to get any information for the boost display.

  • Page 74: Appendix C: Adjusting Pre-Amp Settings

    There are some cases where you’ll want to tweak the pre-amp settings on your Insane Audio head unit for optimal sound quality. Think of your Insane Audio head unit as a big mixing board – bringing in multiple audio sources from different media devices then sending them through a high quality amplifier to your vehicle’s own sound system.
  • Page 75 Appendix C: Adjusting pre-amp settings To get to the pre-amp settings, go to settings -> factory settings (password is “126”) -> then click on the AUDIO tab on the top. Here you will see the input gains for various different sources. Increasing these will basically make your volume knob more sensitive and the system will be louder in general.
