AUDIO INPUTS
(see Figure 4, on page 4)
I
1: 3.5mm stereo jack. This input has priority over all other inputs, and is intended
NPUT
for the audio (voice command) output of a navigation system. When an audio signal is
present at Input 1 the IMS will automatically switch to Input 1, and will return to the
previous input when the Input 1 audio signal ceases.
I
2: Bluetooth wireless and 2.5mm stereo jack. This input has priority over all other
NPUT
inputs except Input 1, and is intended for use with a Bluetooth-enabled phone. The included
microphone plugs-into the Input 2 connector and enables hands-free performance, as well
as voice dialing when used with a VD-capable phone. Input 2 is actually two separate inputs,
since it also supports A2DP streaming from a music-enabled Bluetooth-capable phone, or
from a portable music player via available dongles.

5: Stereo RCA jack. Intended for use with an aftermarket CD head unit. Input 5 has
NPUT
selectable input sensitivity via a 2-position switch located next to the input connection:
• High is high-sensitivity, for use with low-output head units.
• Lo is low sensitivity, for use with high-output head units.
I
6: 6-Pair bare wires on included wiring harness. Input 6 is intended for the speaker
NPUT
outputs of the vehicle's OEM radio. Input 6 has left and right Front (High), Rear (Middle) and
Woofer connections.
The Input 6 wiring harness color-coding is:
Front Left:
Brown (+)
Brown/Black (—)
Front Right:
Purple (+)
Purple/Black (—)
Rear Left:

Rear Right:

Woofer Left:

If the OEM radio's speaker outputs are bandwidth-limited (high/midrange/low), connect
them as follows:
Radio high
to
IMS Front Left & Right
Radio middle
to
IMS Rear Left & Right
Radio low
to
IMS Woofer Left & Right
The Front/High, Rear/Middle and
Woofer/Low input signals are blend-
ed to stereo by the IMS. After con-
necting the OEM radio to Input 6,
you must balance these three inputs:
1. Turn the OEM radio ON and tune
to a strong radio station.
2. Turn the Front/High blend control
clockwise until the Blend LED just
barely lights (see Figure 5). Then
repeat with the Rear/Mid blend
control and again with the Low
blend control.
I
7: 3.5mm stereo jack. Located on the front of the Control Head, this jack is ideal for
NPUT
temporary connections (game consoles, portable DVD players, etc).
