Step 5: Connect
the Included
iPod Dock Cable
to iCruze
The included dock
cable is 6.56 feet long.
This should leave plenty
of cable available inside
the vehicle for most
in-dash installations of iCruze. Plug the matching end of the cable
into the “iPod In” port on iCruze. Choose the location where you will
dock your iPod and route the other end of the cable to that area.
Further dash and/or console disassembly may be required in order
to do this. Please consult your car’s factory service manual for details.
Step 6: Connect and Mount
the Optional iCruze LCD Display
The iCruze LCD display shows song title and artist information in large,
easy-to-read text format. It’s small enough to mount nearly anywhere
on the dash and backlit for easy viewing. See more details at iPodiCruze.
com. If you purchased this display, find a suitable mounting location
and follow the directions included with the Display.
Step 7: Mounting iCruze Inside Your Dash/Chassis
With all of the appropriate cables connected to iCruze and to your
car stereo, secure iCruze to prevent vibration and rattling. If you
are installing iCruze behind the car stereo, be sure to make certain
there is enough room for the car stereo to slide back completely
into the dash. Also check that it’s placement does not interfere
with normal operation of the vehicle such as heat and A/C cables,
accelerator/brake cables, steering column movement, or any other
dash wiring. Make sure all wires are routed for safety and will not
get pinched or come unplugged.
Step 8: Completing Installation
Completely reinstall your factory stereo and reassemble all dash
panels. Reconnect the negative battery terminal to restore power
to the car stereo.
Test to make sure all the usual functions of your stereo work.
Now plug your iPod into the iCruze dock cable and select the CD
changer function with the appropriate button on your car stereo.
The iPod display should show the word “iCruze” and your car stereo
should begin playing the first song in your first playlist on your iPod.
If this does not occur, or if certain features and functions are not
working, disconnect the negative battery terminal and re-check
all connections and installation steps.
See “Optimizing & Organizing iPod Playlists for iCruze” to be sure
your playlists are organized for proper iCruze functionality.
Once you have double-checked everything, reinstall your car
stereo (consult your car’s factory service manual for re-assembly
instructions). See “Using iCruze” section for additional details
on iCruze and iPod functions and features.
