Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install the Yomikoo Bluetooth 5.0 Car Audio Adapter:

- Access the Radio: Carefully remove the car's factory radio from the dashboard to access the rear connections. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions on radio removal.
- Locate the CD Changer Port: Identify the CD changer port on the back of your factory radio. This is typically a multi-pin connector.
- Connect the Y-Cable (if necessary): If your CD changer port is already occupied by another device, you will need to use the provided Y-cable. Connect the Y-cable to the CD changer port, then connect the existing device and the Yomikoo adapter to the Y-cable's two inputs.

- Connect Microphone and USB: Plug the microphone into the designated port on the adapter. If using the USB input for charging, connect the USB card reader.
- Route Cables: Carefully route all cables to avoid interference with vehicle operation and to ensure a tidy installation. Secure the adapter unit in a suitable location, away from excessive heat or moisture.
- Reassemble: Reconnect the car battery's negative terminal. Reinstall the car radio and any removed dashboard panels.
