There are 3 Types of installation for the USBCDPLAY1DLX
- Using the single USB cable and assuming you have confirmed the vehicle you are attempting installation on is covered by the fit chart .JPG, simply connect the USB cable, mount the unit and you are done.
- If the vehicle is not on the fit chart .JPG , proceed to using the CD player adapter. Plug the USB cable from the USB CD player into the provided input on the adapter, connect ACC power and ground to the adapter power and ground leads, take the provided 3.5mm mini jack audio output and plug it into the vehicles provided 3.5mm audio input and then mount the provided dial controller somewhere convenient and accessible and you are complete.
- If the vehicle is not on the fit chart .JPG and does not have a 3.5mm mini jack audio input , take the USB AUX cable that is provided in the box and proceed to connect that to an open USB data input port of your vehicle. Please make sure the USB port you choose is for data and not just for charging only. This adapter is designed to an emulator which will adapt and convert the USB port to a 3.5mm mini jack input. This will allow the 3.5mm mini jack audio output connector from the CDP-1 to connect to and provide audio to your factory radio system.
Install Summary Instructions for adapter:
- Connect 3.5mm audio plug to car audio input
- Connect USB to CD player USB
- Put control knob in easy access location
- Connect red wire to ACC 12V
- Connect white wire to chassis ground
Functions for controller knob:
- Knob quick left – previous song Knob quick right – next song
- Knob push – play/pause
- Knob hold left – volume down
- Knob hold right – volume up
First, please check the Vehicle Fit Guide on the site page located in the images and check to make sure you ordered the correct model# for your vehicle. Also please check the Factory Requirements column to make sure the CD Player will work with your specific vehicle radio. The CD Players will not necessarily work with all radio types.
If the vehicle does not find the USB CD Player:
Check to make sure the CD Player is plugged into the USB port for data and not
the USB port for charging. The charging port is usually marked with a lighting
symbol, but it could be faint and hard to see. The charging port will not work
to connect the CD Playe r to the car.
Also, make sure to disconnect any USB extensions and plug in the CD Player
directly. Some vehicles have sensitivity to USB cable lengths.
If the CD will not play or skips:
Step 1 Insert CD
Step 2 WAIT. If the unit begins to auto play, still WAIT. The indexing
process is being performed whereby the USB hub in your vehicle is building a
table of contents to follow. This can take up to 20 seconds. If at any time
this indexing process is interrupted by skipping to a song or pausing or
unplugging or changing the source, it will interrupt the table of contents and
it will skip songs, miss songs, play 10 sec then stop or just not work at all.
Ford and GM display on the screen that the unit is indexing and to “please
wait”. It will even tell you when the indexing is complete. Other vehicles may
not display anything on the screen. However, you must still wait for at least
20 seconds for the CD to index before pushing any buttons or trying to fast
forward, skip, play, etc.
If the indexing process gets interrupted , you must eject the disc. Then
insert a different disc to purge the vehicle USB hub. Let it index for that
CD, then eject and reinsert the original CD. Let the original CD index again.
Once finished indexing, it will be ready to listen to.
- These CD Players work with many vehicles and have an extremely low defect rate if properly installed. Please make sure you let every CD index for 20 seconds before trying to fast forward, skip, play, etc.
- Make sure you have read the Quick Reference Set-up Guide included with the CD Player and also located online in the images, as well as the on line Troubleshooting Guide located in the images. If you are still experiencing issues, please call customer service at: (442) 400-9489 for more assistance.
