vehicleisinignitionmodeortheengine
is running.
Your TuneBase and iPhone/iPod are in the
way of your vehicle’s controls.

Be sure to solidly attach the cigarette lighter
adapteroftheTuneBasetothepoweroutlet.
Testthestabilitybypushingitsideways
beforedriving.

Insomevehicles,thepoweroutletiswider
than the cigarette lighter adapter of the
TuneBase.Youmaynoticeawiggleinyour
TuneBasewhenyoupushit.Inthatcase,
slide the fit ring around the cigarette lighter
adapteroftheTuneBase.Then,insertthe
cigarettelighteradapterintothepower
outlet,makingsurethatallfourprongsofthe
fitringsecurelyfitinthepoweroutlet.Ifthe
fitistootight,youcancutoffoneormoreof
the prongs on the fit ring and try the fit again
(seeSolution3).
Solution 3
The fit ring may be too large for some cars’
poweradapters.Usescissorstocarefully
cut as many prongs as you need. Try to fit
yourTuneBaseintothepoweroutletafter
eachcut.Whencuttingmultipleprongs,cut
prongs on opposing sides.
