1. Incorrect installation – Incorrect installation may lead to damage to the units and/or your car! Specialized knowledge
and skills are required for installing the system. We strongly recommend that the system be installed by a qualified
professional.
2. Risk of injury – Unsuitable installation locations may become a source of injury in an accident situation, or may inhibit the
correct functioning of essential safety equipment. Please carefully read the notes in the „Installation“ chapter carefully!
3. Risk of injury/material damage – the removal of vehicle lining with sharp or pointed objects may lead to injuries or
material damage.
4. Road safety risk – Diverted attention can lead to dangerous situations in traffic. Even when using hands-free phone
systems, your complete attention must be paid to the current traffic conditions. It is always advisable to avoid
phone calls while driving in difficult traffic situations!
5. Damage to airbags – An incorrect installation location may cause damage to, or inhibit the correct function of, your
airbags. Do not install the components within the deployment area of the airbags!
6. Insulation damage – Damaged insulation can lead to equipment and wiring damage. The cables and leads may not be
under tension when installed. Install the cables and leads in such a way as to avoid pinching or abrasion.
7. Polarity and shorting damage – Cables connected with reversed polarity, or in such a way as to produce a short
circuit, can lead to serious damage to your equipment. Before commencing installation, make sure that the car
battery is disconnected.
8. Damage to essential vehicle components – Essential vehicle components or wiring can be damaged when drilling
mounting holes or screwing in self-threading screws. Please make sure there is always sufficient space behind the
screw holes and drilled holes!
9. Interference with on-board electronics – Despite the extreme protection against interference, incorrect installation can
lead to interference with the vehicle electronic systems. Please read the vehicle manufacturer’s notes to this effect!
10. Appropriate use – The EGO FLASH is intended exclusively for use in vehicles with Bluetooth®mobile phones and A2DP
devices.
11. Damage caused by inappropriate replacement parts – Inappropriate spare or replacement parts may lead to
malfunctions. Please use only the approved parts listed in the section „Spares parts and accessories“!

Installation guide6
6.1 Determination of required configuration
Before installation of your EGO FLASH, please note which features and connection options are provided by your car audio system.
It is advantageous when your audio has the following: a muting function, phone input and line-in. You can find out which of these
input options your audio system has in the documentation provided.
6.1.1 Vehicle
The EGO FLASH may only be installed in vehicles with 12 V, with the negative terminal connected to the chassis. If no car audio is
installed, an add-on speaker will be required. For the installation of the optional charging cradle, you will require a model-specific
mounting that may be purchased from a specialist dealer.
6.1.2 Mobile Telephone
A Bluetooth®-compatible telephone must be available for use with this system. You can find a list of supported Bluetooth® tele-
phones online at www.fwd-online.de.
6.1.3 Muting (radio muting)
The muting function (Radio Muting) ensures that the audio sound is turned off during telephone calls. The system
supports the muting function. Your car`s audio documentation will show whether your car audio has a mute option. If your car au-
dio is not equipped with a muting option, you can install the optionally available Stereo Mute Box to facilitate speaker muting.
6.1.4 Converting the EGO FLASH into an already-installed Funkwerk hands-free car kit
An adapter cable is available for customers who already own a Funkwerk hands-free car kit (including the Audio 2000, 3000, Audio
blue, Audio com, and Audio compact) and who would like to easily convert the EGO FLASH. The adapter cable connects the ISO
cable, already installed in the vehicle, of your previous Funkwerk handsfree system with the EGO FLASH and is available as an
accessory.
NOTE! This simple converting option is only possible when installing the EGO FLASH without a stereo mute box. To install the EGO
FLASH with the stereo mute box, the stereo mute box’s ISO connecting cable should be used to connect to the vehicle.
