Installation involves connecting the adapter to the back of your car's factory radio. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with car audio system disassembly.

Step-by-Step Installation:

  1. Prepare the Vehicle: Turn off the vehicle's ignition and disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery to prevent electrical shorts.
  2. Access the Radio: Carefully remove the trim panels around your car's factory radio to gain access to the rear of the head unit. Consult your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions on panel removal.
  3. Locate the CD Changer Port: Identify the CD changer port on the back of your factory radio. This is typically a multi-pin connector.

  • If no disc is in the CD player, you can switch to USB mode using the 'RDM' button.

Bluetooth Usage

The adapter features Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless audio streaming and hands-free calls.

  • Pairing: After the car starts, Bluetooth needs to be manually connected from your phone's Bluetooth settings. Look for a device named 'KG-998-1' or similar.
  • Hands-Free Calls: Bluetooth phone calls can be answered normally even when USB or AUX is connected. When answering a call via Bluetooth, some mobile phones may require you to select the car speaker as the audio output; otherwise, the phone's internal speaker may be preferred.
  • Bluetooth Music: If you are currently using USB or AUX for music and wish to switch to Bluetooth music, you must first disconnect or stop the USB/AUX source, then reconnect Bluetooth from your phone.

USB Music Playback

Insert a USB storage device containing music files into the adapter's USB port.

  • The USB music function supports control via your vehicle's steering wheel controls and radio panel controls (e.g., track skip, play/pause).

AUX Input

Connect any audio device with a 3.5mm audio jack to the adapter's AUX input.

  • The AUX input does not support steering wheel or radio panel controls. Volume must be adjusted directly on the connected device or the car radio.

5. Hands-Free Calling with Microphone

The included microphone is essential for clear hands-free communication.

  • For optimal call clarity, the microphone should be clipped to your collar or positioned as close to your mouth as possible.
  • Ensure the microphone is not obstructed by clothing or other objects.

6. Important Safety Information

  • This adapter is not compatible with integrated satellite radio systems (AT/PTY/XM/Sirius). Attempting to use it with such systems may result in malfunction or damage.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Yomikoo Bluetooth Car Kit, refer to the following common solutions:

  • No Sound / Intermittent Audio:
    • Ensure all cables are securely connected to both the adapter and the car radio.
    • Verify that the car radio is set to the correct input mode (CD/AUX).
    • Check the volume levels on both your connected device and the car radio.
  • Bluetooth Not Connecting:
    • Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
    • Go to your phone's Bluetooth settings and manually select the adapter (e.g., 'KG-998-1') to connect.
    • If USB or AUX is active, disconnect them first, then attempt Bluetooth connection.
    • Restart your phone and the car's ignition, then try pairing again.
  • Low Volume:
    • Increase the volume on your connected device (phone, MP3 player) to its maximum output before adjusting the car radio volume. This can help reduce potential background noise.
  • Hissing Noise:
    • A slight hiss at very high volumes might be present. Try adjusting the volume balance between your input device and the car stereo (increase device volume, decrease car stereo volume).
  • Steering Wheel Controls Not Working (USB):
    • Ensure the adapter is in USB mode. Steering wheel controls are not supported for AUX input.
