For a 4 speaker installation all the speaker outputs will be used and the
FMR-1 will enable stereo, balance and fader controls.
All unused wires should be taped up so they can't short out. The radio
can now be mounted back into the vehicle as original and connected to the
new wiring harness. Reattach the battery cable. Installation is now
complete.
Operation:
Your converted radio will operate as before but with new performance
and features.
LED: If your radio has a front panel LED installed, it will display the
current operating mode as follows: Green for AM, Yellow for FM,
Orange for Bluetooth (optional) and Red for Auxiliary input. It is also
used to display system errors as discussed elsewhere in this manual.
Mode Select: Mode selection (AM, FM, Aux) is accomplished in
different ways depending on your radio. In the following description,
power cycling refers to quickly switching the radio off and back on.
Each time this is done the radio with change to the next mode. The radio
will always return to the last mode selected when first turned on.
If your radio has an AM/FM band switch, it will work as normal,
otherwise AM/FM selection is done by power cycling.
The Auxiliary Input is normally selected by tuning the radio to the low
end of the dial. This position can be set on one of the pushbuttons to
make accessing the Aux input very easy. Alternatively your radio may be
set to use the power cycling method for the Aux input.
Balance/Fader: If your radio has balance/fader controls they will
operate as before. If your radio does not have balance/fader controls, the
FMR-1 enables virtual controls.
Virtual Balance: Quickly twist the tone control back and forth twice
to the left. The tone control temporarily becomes the balance control.
A tone will alternate between the left and right channels to verify you
have entered the virtual balance control. You may adjust the balance
for as long as you wish. When finished, the FMR-1 waits a few
seconds and then signifies that the setting was accepted by playing a
tone. This setting is retained until it the next time it is changed.
Virtual Fader: Quickly twist the tone control back and forth twice to
the right. The tone control temporarily becomes the fader control. A
tone will alternate between the front and rear channels to verify you
have entered the virtual fader control. You may adjust the fader for as
long as you wish. When finished, the FMR-1 waits a few seconds
and then signifies that the setting was accepted by playing a tone.
This setting is retained until the next time it is changed.
