Introduction:
Many European vehicle owners looking for a simply audio jack to play audio
devices on the car Radio while also retaining the CD changer will be pleased to
find the AUX-BKR Adapter.
This AUX-BKR requires and retains optional CD Changer** to provide a
3.5mm dash mount Audio jack which can be used to connect and play all kinds of
audio devices including iPod, iPhones, Smartphones, Mp3 Players on the car
system without sacrificing the changer.
Installation:
We recommend disconnecting the car battery. But before
anything locate and record the radio safe code. Don’t
disconnect battery if radio code is not available, otherwise
radio will cease to operate.
1. Remove radio from dash to gain access to the connectors. A set of
Radio removal tools (See Fig. 1) is required.

radio by pulling outwards. To release keys simply press retaining springs.
See Fig. 2. Click here for detailed use of removal tools.
3. Disconnect blue (C-3) green (C-2) plugs and yellow (C-1) plugs from radio
cavity (See Fig. 3)

4. Drill a ¼” at mounting location on the dash etc., insert aux jack
threated end through the hole and secure with nut (See Fig.7)

Warning! Should you decide to secure the jack to dashboard etc. make
sure the panel is 1/8” thick or less to allow threads on the jack to
protrude and engage the nut. (If necessary use a dremel or sander to
thin the panel). Drilling a hole to secure the jack is not necessary but
doing so makes for a stock appearance and easier to plug/unplug the
audio device .

Test Operation
1. Use included 3.5mm audio cable (See Fig. 8) to connect audio device to the
jack

You must use the Audio device built-in controls to access music files.
4. Use radio volume knob to adjust playback level
Note: if playback is distorted, lower volume on audio device.
5. To listen to the CD changer, simply disconnect audio device from the
AUX-BKR jack and operate Changer as customary.
Warning! AUX-BKR Audio jack must be empty when listening to the CD
Changer; otherwise CD Changer playback will be weak or distorted.
