TROUBLESHOOTING
Solution 1
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.
Solution 2
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.
Your TuneBase rotates out of position around the center of the power outlet.
