adjust your car's bass and treble controls to 0. Then, raise bass and
treble gradually to the desired level.

different ways.

inserted in place.
Question: If I leave the car transmitter connected after the engine is
turned off, will it drain my car battery?
Answer: Probably not, but it is always highly recommended to disconnect any
connected devices before you leave the car for extended periods of
time to avoid car battery discharge. In some cars the power is not cut
off after the engine is turned off.
