2. Short description.

Adapter is designed to reproduce the standard car audio sound with Flash USB-stick (hereinafter - the stick), as well as the use of accessories, with various external audio sources. In the audio system it is connected to the optical interface MOST, emulates the regular CD-drive and provides additional features. To him available 6 folder in the root of stick and up to 99 mp3-files in each folder. The files in the root of the stick are considered located in a folder named "Root".

Allowable stick file system - FAT16 or FAT32. If the flash drive is not connected or it is NTFS or it does not read MP3 files, the adapter is completely disconnected from the interface MOST (becomes invisible). Thus, for listening to an extra port external audio sources (AUX, iPod, Bluetooth), USB flash drive must be connected to the adapter and It should be at least one mp3-file !!!

Adapter can operate together as with the standard CD-ROM drive, and without it.

The user can independently (without dismantling) to upgrade the firmware of the adapter with USB-flash drive.

Scope of supply:

·         Adapter  (90 * 60 * 25mm);

·         Extension Cable USB (1.5 m);

·         Power cable (0.4m);

·         Optical cable with connector (0.8m);

·         Jumper (Jumper) - 2 pcs .;

Adapter connectors:

1) power connector;

2) connector MOST (with cap);

3) secondary audio;

4) area for jumpers;

5) connector USB- "mom"

3. Connecting of the adapter

If your vehicle has no optical wiring (in complete sets, where in addition to the head unit no blocks with optics - is found mainly in the MB W211 with head unit Audio 20CD), then the connection will require additional optical thread with connector (not included) and optics activation (via diagnosis).

For BMW:                               

·         If your car has no regular CD-drive - head unit must be programmed to work with him (with the diagnostic equipment).

·         If your car has no regular CD-drive - head unit must be programmed to work with him (with the diagnostic equipment).

·         If set DVD-ROM drive for 6 CDs, work of adapter can not be guaranteed because not known - whether it is possible coding the head unit simultaneous operation and CD- and DVD-changer.

 

1) On the main case of the adapter is a platform for jumpers. They must be set by select a vehicle before adapter connection (picture 2).

Only for radio Comand APS NTG2 (MB W211 till 2009) in order to maintain regular CD-drive is required to install two jumpers in the vertical position (parallel to USB-connector). Audio recorder for 20cc (MB W211 till 2009) requires the installation of two jumpers in the horizontal position.

2) Connect the power cable of adapter to the electrical wiring of the car: the black wire - GND (ground), red wire - BATT (+ 12V, DC).

3) If a regular CD-ROM drive (CDC) do not need it do not install, adapter can be connected to any point of the interface. CDC if you want to save, then you need to connect the adapter:

·         In the Audi (MMI High color) to anywhere in the interface.

·         In the Audi (MMI Basic Monochrome) immediately before the CDC.

·         In the BMW between the head unit and the CDC before CDC. In some cases - after the CDC.

·         In the Mercedes and Porsche between the head unit and the CDC before CDC.

Thus it is necessary to connect the optical thread with connectors so that the optical signal is propagated from the head unit to the adapter Skif, from the adapter to the CD-drive from the CD-drive further into the ring MOST. The direction of the optical signal shown by the arrows on the connector. You may need to disassemble the optical connector to rearrange opto thread and set the different direction of signal. Disassembly of various type connectors is the same. It is necessary to remove the outer part (step 1 and 2), pull on the half blue retainer (step 3) and release the opto thread, slightly tilting the latch (step 4). Assemble in reverse order.

How to disassemble optical connector:

Note:

Arrows on the connectors indicate the direction of the optical signal.

4. Joint work of regular CD-drive (CDC) and the adapter 

Audi (MMI High color)	On the OEM screen in the mode CDC will be available 12 positions, six of which correspond to the disks of the regular CD-drive, the other six - folders on the flash drive.
Audi (MMI Basic Monochrome), BMW, Mercedes и Porsche	If the flash drive is connected, so in the CDC mode adapter is active. If the flash drive is not connected to the USB port more than 10 seconds, the adapter is completely disconnected from the interface MOST, and in the CDC mode regular CD-drive is active.

 

5. Work of adapter. Mode additional port (AUX, iPod, Bluetooth)

USB mode is equivalent to mode CDC. Folders on flash match disks, and files - tracks. All functions of CDC are applicable to adapter - rewind within a track, shuffle (Random), Repeat (Repeat), scanning (Scan). Maximum number of files in a folder - 99, the number of folders - 6 (some BMW supported by work with 12 folders).

Switching between the adapter and the regular CD-drive is controlled by inserting / extracting the stick. When connecting a stick active becomes adapter and CD-drive trips. When removing the stick, adapter (through the 10s) initializes the interface MOST and completely disconnected from the system, CD-drive starts to work normally.

Switching adapter between the stick and an optional port (and vice versa) is performed by on-off of any of the following functions: SCAN, Random (MIX), Repeat, with the switch-off delay should not exceed 3 seconds. The adapter remembers the current mode and re-turn on the system starts in the same mode, which used till to shut down.

 

For BMW with iDrive and activated support of «MP3 Retrofit» (by navigating directories of the USB stick) to switch between AUX and USB use virtual directory names AUX and USB, respectively.

If the head unit supports CD-text, then displays the names of files and folders (except for BMW E65). Text strings of the folder and file names are limited to 16 characters in length. Folders that have no mp3-files do not interfere with operation of the device.

In AUX mode, adapter transmits the audio signal from an external source into the factory system. If the adapter connected via a special adapter for Player iPod (iPhone or iPad), then will be provides charging and automatic on / off play on this unit. In addition, buttons of Disk Management "3" and "1" can be switched back and forth playlists, respectively, and by tracks control buttons can be switched tracks on the player. Also in this mode, the function "Scan" and fast forward and backward. Player iPod (iPhone, iPad) turned on to "dock station" mode in which the device is locked (display and controls are functioning properly), but in this mode, the current status of the player is not available for adapter, and output to the display of the head unit status information of the player does not match its actual state.
