DETAILS
This USB Interface by Grom Audio is a state of the art product that allows you to directly connect your USB thumb drive through the auxiliary input port (normally used for CD Changers and/or satellite radio) of your factory radio. (See more details below.) The cable that connects this to your radio is a T-harness, so it has a plug to allow you, in most cases, to retain a factory devices currently connected to the radio. (Except for satellite radio. That must be disconnected.) The cable that connects to your USB drive is 3 feet long, so you'll have plenty of routing options.
If you have an Android phone or tablet, you can use this interface to play music from it through the car radio. Song title, artist and album will display on the radio. You will also have some limited controls from the radio and/or the steering wheel controls. In addition, it will charge the device. You will have to download the free App from the Google Play App Market to utilize this feature. You will also need a USB cable to connect the phone to the interface. PLEASE NOTE: this is for playback of music only. Calling features are not supported unless you purchase the Bluetooth kit that is optional. We HIGHLY recommend you visit the manufacturer's website if you have questions regarding the Android interface features.
If you have an Apple iPod or iPhone, you can use this interface to play music from it through the car radio.

This product works in satellite mode. To be satellite capable, your radio must have SAT, CAT, CH, CHANNEL or CATEGORY printed somewhere on a button or the face of the radio (except for navigation radios). Use of this product will require disconnection of your factory satellite tuner, if so equipped. We recommend you contact tech support for the manufacturer through their website or visit the product page on the gromaudio website to determine exactly how it's going to function in your vehicle with your options.
You may have to splice/tap a power and/or ground wire for connection of this device. You may also have to follow certain naming conventions for folders and tracks you place on the USB drive in order for them to be recognized properly. We recommend you visit the product page on the GromAudio website or contact their tech support through the websiteif you have additional questions about capabilities and functionality.

OPTIONAL CABLE INFORMATION
Unlike some competitor's products, this interface includes TWO extra input ports so you can add up to two other devices with the use of additional, optional cables. These cables are available in separate listings:
- If you purchase the Bluetooth kit (item GABTD in a separate listing), you can connect a Bluetooth enabled cell phone (iPhone, Android or regular) that supports HFP (Hands Free Profiles) and listen to the conversation over your car speakers, while speaking through the microphone that comes with the Bluetooth kit. You can also use it to stream music from your phone wirelessly if your phone supports A2DP. What's more, you can control the music on your phone from your radio and/or steering wheel controls using AVRCP wireless audio controls. The Bluetooth kit is specific to the Grom interface, so you do have to buy the Grom version if you want Bluetooth.
- If you purchase the optional Aux cable (item GA35CBL in a separate listing), you can add any external device that has audio output in the form of a 3.5mm stereo-mini headphone jack. (This includes, but is not limited to: mp3 players, satellite radio, CD changers, DVD players, video game systems, etc). This will allow you to listen to the output from that device through your car speakers. The Aux cable has a proprietary Grom connector on the end that plugs into the interface, so you do need to use the Grom cable if you wish to add add Aux.
