Introduction and Features

Important Notes

1.  This interface is only compatible in vehicles equipped with a data-bus controlled premium sound system. To verify 

compatibility, look for an Alpine, Beats, or Harmon Kardon badge on the door speakers, center speaker, or factory 
subwoofer. If none of these brands are shown, check for the presence of a center speaker or subwoofer.
