CONNECTING TO YOUR CAR’S STEREO

There are two options for connecting the BTFM to your car stereo.

The BTFM has a small FM radio transmitter that can broadcast to your car’s stereo.

Find a weak station on your FM radio that has no active broadcast signal.
Use the CH, then the << and >> buttons to tune the BTFM to match the frequency of your FM radio.
If you experience interference you may have entered an area where there is an active broadcast signal on the station you are tuned to. Repeat the above steps to find a different clear station.

IMPORTANT: If you are actively streaming music or using the MP3 player you must press the CH button before adjusting the transmitting frequency. When finished, press the CH button again to return to the previous screen.
