VW/Audi PhatBox Digital Media Player Quick Start Guide

Section I : Installing the PhatBox
Mounting the PhatBox
When choosing a mounting location remember: Leave at least 3 inches of clearance for the cable. The PhatBox should be mounted parallel or perpendicular to the floor of the car. Don't mount near wiring or fuel lines. Leave the front of the PhatBox unobstructed for easy insertion of and removal of the cartridge. The unit should be mounted to a hard stable surface, such as particle board or sheet metal.

Connecting the PhatBox to a Car Stereo Head Unit
1. Turn off the car and the radio.
2. Gain access to the CD changer cables located in your trunk. They are usually located near the navigation system or attached to the CD changer.
3. Connect the short PhatNoise cable into the back of the PhatBox and screw in the thumb screws. Do not attach the PhatNoise cable to the VW / Audi CD changer cable yet.
4. Secure the PhatBox to a flat mounting location with the four included self-tapping screws.
5. Fully insert the DMS cartridge into the front.
6. Plug the PhatNoise cable into the VW / Audi CD changer cable.
7. The red and green lights should turn on.
8. Approximately 5 seconds later, both lights should be off and stay off.
9. Turn on your stereo (usually by turning the key to ACC).
10. Switch to CD changer mode on your stereo. Depending on the stereo, this is done by pressing the CD, CDC, or MODE button.
11. Wait up to 15 seconds for a welcome message to play.
12. Congratulations! The PhatNoise PhatBox is installed and ready to be used. Turn off the stereo and remove the cartridge.
