Installing wired FM modulators

• To install a wired FM modulator, first find a good mounting location.

• Keep in mind that you will need to access your factory radio through its antenna input, as well as connect the peripheral source to the modulator.

• Best location usually is behind an interior panel or in the cavity behind the stereo.

• Plug the vehicle's antenna cable into the antenna input on the FM modulator. (Sold Separately) Click for Modulation Box

• Determine which of the available modulation frequencies is least likely to be shared by a strong local radio signal and set it on the hideaway box before you mount the unit
