provide endless hours of listening pleasure through most vehicles' factory radio. To
ensure that your GROM-USB2i interface performs correctly in your car or truck, we
recommend that you read this entire manual before attempting to install the GROM
interface.

1.2 Functionality Highlights

The GROM-USB2i car adapter allows you to easily access your media collection in your
car, including shuffling songs, skipping between tracks, and adjusting the volume—all
with only your factory car stereo head unit or multifunction steering wheel controls. This
adapter further allows you to listen to your favorite music directly from any mass storage
USB stick or hard drive, requiring no dedicated portable player. GROM-USB2 also has
additional AUX and iPod inputs, allowing you to connect any additional audio source and
iPod / iPhone.
