Congratulations on your new Aurora Design BTU-1 Bluetooth/USB/
MP3 adapter. Combined with an FMR-1 converted radio, you can enjoy
21 st century technology in your classic vehicle!
Setup:
Before installing your radio back into your vehicle, you may
wish to plug the supplied hands-free microphone or optional illuminated
pushbutton into the appropriate jacks on the radio.
The microphone is only required if you want to support hands-free calls
and Voice Command. If not, the microphone does not need to be attached.
When not attached, the BTU-1 will not broadcast that it supports these
functions and your phone will operate as normal. The microphone can be
placed in a convenient location in the vehicle, typically along the front
edge of the headliner near the rear view mirror or along the bottom edge of
the dashboard. The attached cable is 9.8' (3M) long and can be routed as
required, typically behind the A pillar cover for headliner mounting.
Excess cable can be coiled and tied off.
The pushbutton assembly is not required when used with an FMR-1
converted radio as the existing radio controls can be used to fully control
the BTU-1. The radio may or may not have a blue status LED added in the
dial for BTU-1 status. The pushbutton assembly can still be used with an
FMR-1 converted radio if desired, and must be used with all other
installations. The pushbutton requires a 1/2" (12.7mm) hole and should be
mounted somewhere convenient such as the bottom edge of the dashboard.
The pushbutton is illuminated with a red status LED that should be made
visible for easiest operation. The attached cable is 3.3' (1M) long and can
be routed as required. Excess cable can be coiled and tied off.
Basic Operation:
Operation of the BTU-1 is extremely simple yet
powerful. The BTU-1, when combined with an FMR-1 AM/FM receiver
form a fully integrated AM/FM/Bluetooth/USB/MP3 solution.
Communication over a proprietary com-link keeps the two modules in
perfect sync. No external cables, plugs or switches are required. Full
operation is provided by the existing controls on the radio. When
streaming music or handling a phone call, the FMR-1 status LED will
change to orange (or yellow depending on how the FMR-1 is configured)
to signify that an active interface is selected. When you stop streaming
music or end a call, the BTU-1 will put the FMR-1 back into normal
operation. Everything is handled automatically. When not combined with
an FMR-1, an optional illuminated pushbutton assembly is available for
the BTU-1.
Since the BTU-1 contains both Bluetooth and USB interfaces, control
of the module, either through an FMR-1 or with the optional pushbutton,
focuses on one interface at a time. Just as with a computer, the application
that currently has focus receives the inputs from the keyboard and mouse,
so do the Bluetooth and USB interfaces on the BTU-1. If only one
interface is active, for example Bluetooth connected and no USB drive
attached, the controls will affect the Bluetooth interface. Likewise if a
