3. Installation Instructions

The installation of the Qiilu Bluetooth Auxiliary Audio Cable Adapter is straightforward. Follow these steps carefully to ensure proper functionality.

1. Access the Car Radio: Carefully remove your car's radio unit to access the rear connectors. Refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for instructions on how to safely remove the radio.
2. Locate the 12-Pin Connector Port: Identify the 12-pin connector port on the back of your car radio. This is where the main adapter plug will be inserted.
3. Connect the Adapter Plug: Firmly insert the 12-pin connector of the Bluetooth adapter into the corresponding port on the back of the radio. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
4. Connect Power Wires:
   • Connect the red wire from the adapter to a 12V+ (positive) power source. This is typically an ignition-switched 12V line.
   • Connect the black wire from the adapter to a 12V- (negative) or ground point in your vehicle.

   Note: Proper wiring is crucial. If unsure, consult a professional car audio installer.

5. Route Cables and Reassemble: Carefully route the adapter cable to a desired location, ensuring it does not interfere with vehicle operation. Reinstall the car radio unit and any trim panels removed during the process.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the adapter is correctly installed, you can begin streaming audio wirelessly.

1. Turn on Car Ignition: Ensure your vehicle's ignition is on, providing power to the car radio and the Bluetooth adapter.
2. Select AUX Input: On your car radio, select the AUX input mode. This may be labeled as "AUX", "CD Changer", or similar, depending on your specific radio model. The adapter functions by emulating a CD changer or auxiliary input.
3. Enable Bluetooth on Your Device: On your smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled audio device, go to the Bluetooth settings and ensure Bluetooth is turned on.
4. Pair with the Adapter: Search for available Bluetooth devices. The adapter should appear as a discoverable device (e.g., "Bluetooth Music" or similar). Select it to pair. No password is typically required.
5. Start Music Playback: Once paired, open your preferred music application on your device and start playing audio. The sound will now be transmitted wirelessly through your car's speakers.

Important Notes:

• Volume Control: Adjust the volume primarily through your car's radio controls. You may also need to adjust the volume on your connected device for optimal sound levels.
• Track Control: This adapter is designed for audio streaming. Track skipping or playback control (play/pause) typically needs to be managed directly from your paired device, not through the car's steering wheel controls or radio buttons.

5. Maintenance

The Qiilu Bluetooth Auxiliary Audio Cable Adapter requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.

• Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the adapter to moisture or liquids, as this can damage internal components.
• Clean Gently: If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Secure Connections: Periodically check that all connections (12-pin plug, power wires) remain secure and free from corrosion.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the device to extremely high or low temperatures, as this can affect its electronic components.
