the existing FM tuner of your car audio.
Therefore you will be able to enjoy CD play
with your car audio even if it has no input
terminals for a compact disc player.
•Compact and space saving CD changer for
vertical, horizontal, suspended, or inclined
installation in your car.
•Supplied wired remote enables you to
control the CD changer installed in the trunk
room of your car.
•Repeat play function for playing a track or a
disc repeatedly.
•Shuffle play function for playing tracks of
one disc or of all discs in random order.
•CD TEXT function*for displaying the CD
TEXT information on the display of the

En principe, les plateaux ne s’enlèvent pas du
chargeur. S’ils s’enlèvent du chargeur, il est
cependant facile de les y réintroduire.
L’encoche du plateau étant face àvous,
introduisez l’angle droit du plateau dans la fente
et poussez ensuite sur l’angle gauche jusqu’à ce
qu’il s’encliquette.
Remarque
N’introduisez pas le plateau àl’envers ni dans le
mauvais sens.
