INTRODUCTION
The AutoDAB Connect is an in-car audio adapter that offers a flexible and cost effective
way to add DAB / DAB+ Digital Radio to your existing FM in-car Radio.
The existing analogue system can be easily upgraded to receive DAB/DAB+digital radio
services. AutoDAB Connect uses FM-RDS micro-transmitter and no complex cabling to
your car audio system. The AutoDAB Connect DAB receiver is operated using a remote
control, while all of the messages related to the system’s operations, such as service
name, memory preset, etc., are converted to RDS text and displayed on your existing FM
Radio. The flexible configuration options of the AutoDAB Connect makes it easy to install
in different car makes and models.
Furthermore, AutoDAB Connect has an AFC (Automatic Frequency Change) function
that allows you to continuously listen to your favorite DAB programs through your car
radio system without the need to frequently change the FM frequency manually when
you drive into a metropolitan area where FM stations are highly crowded. Consult your
car radio manual or the car dealer if your car radio has AF (alternative frequency)
function, and how to enable AF function before using this AFC function.
If AF function is not built in your car radio, you can use AutoDAB Connect’s AutoScan
function to automatically scan for 3 useable FM frequencies; you will need to choose a
new frequency from the scanned frequencies to set and synchronize it between the car
radio and the AutoDAB Connect manually. Alternately, you can use AutoDAB Connect to
set a new FM transmitting frequency manually or set a frequency from one of the FM
transmitting frequency presets which have been previously saved, and then set the car
radio’s FM frequency to match.
Note:
AutoDAB Connect needs to operate with an RDS car radio in order to properly display
the relevant system message from AutoDAB Connect via the in-car radio display.
