1.2 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the GROM iPod adapter, which has been designed to provide endless hours of listening pleasure through most vehicles’ factory radios.

Proper mounting location Securely install the interface in a location that is free from heat, humidity, moving parts, or direct sunlight. Beware of the hot airflow from your vehicle’s climate control system. We recommend securing the interface to a suitable location that is free of sharp metal edges using double-sided tape, Velcro, or wire ties. The iPod/iPhone has not been designed to withstand extreme automotive temperatures. You may damage your iPod/iPhone if you leave it inside your vehicle on a very hot or very cold day.

Chapter 2 – General Installation

In many cases, no special tools are required to remove the stereo. For some stereos, it is better to use car stereo removal tools. Please consult your local car audio shop or your vehicle’s dealership for instructions or assistance as necessary.
2.3 Preparation and adapter installation

4. Attach the car harness connector to the back of the stereo via the CD changer port. Connect it firmly without forcing it. Connect the other end to the interface
5. VW / AUDI / Seat / Skoda : there is a single black cable on the vehicle specific harness (3) you will need to attach it to the metal part of the car stereo chassis The failure to attach the black cable to the chassis of the stereo will mean that the GROM adapter will not work!
