PARTS INCLUDED
GETTING STARTED
The DIYBCKH must be connected to your car stereo before you can enjoy any of
the features of this unit. Your car stereo system must have an auxiliary input
port to work with the DIYBCKH. An auxiliary, or “AUX”
input for short, is a connection point somewhere on your stereo that will
allow connection to an “external” audio source such as a front panel or rear
audio input. Read the following paragraphs for descriptions.

for use.
GETTING STARTED (cont. I)
Front Panel Inputs
Many factory or aftermarket car stereos have an auxiliary connection point for a portable device located somewhere on the front panel or faceplate. This is in the form of a 3.5mm (headphone-sized} female jack on the unit. Simply plug in the male connector DIYBCKH to the female connection on your stereo. Consult your car stereo’s user manual for details on how to operate or activate its auxiliary input functions.
Side Note: Starting in 2005, through 2007 and later, some vehicle factory-equipped stereos now include 3.5mm front panel audio inputs. Additionally, some vehicles may have a remote-located port somewhere else in the vehicle other than the front of the stereo such as the console or dashboard. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for more information.
Rear Audio Inputs
Some aftermarket car stereos that do not have front panel inputs as previously described may have a set of audio inputs at the back of the unit. These consist of a set of RCA (left and right) input jacks at the back of the stereo labeled “AUX” or “BUS”. These types of inputs require the 3.5mm to L & R audio adapter. For rear inputs, the car stereo must be removed in order to access the back panel for the connections. Rear audio inputs provide CD-quality audio.
Side Note: Some aftermarket radios require a BUS controller input. For application information on your specific aftermarket radio please contact Scosche Tech Support.

- Having the 8/uetooth enabled cell phone too close to the DIYBCKH receiver and communication noise from the cellphone may be heard in the speaker
This product may not be compatible with all 8/uetooth features on all 8/uetooth enabled cell phones. This may or may not include sentient control functions, volume adjustment, and voice dialing. Please consult your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone operating manual for specific features and instructions.
