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 a plug on the back of the radio. The cable that connects this interface 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 also 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 AALinQ 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. (One probably came with your phone.) PLEASE NOTE: this is for playback of music only. Calling features are supported using the Bluetooth kit that is included. 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. 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 need the OEM Apple USB cable to connect your Apple product to the interface. PLEASE NOTE: this is for playback of music only. Calling features are supported using the Bluetooth kit that is included. We HIGHLY recommend you visit the manufacturer's website if you have questions regarding the iPod interface features.
The included BTD Bluetooth Extension,Dongle Kit allows you to connect a Bluetooth enabled cell phone that supports HFP (Hands Free Profiles) and listen to the conversation over your car speakers, while speaking through the microphone that comes with the 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, provided your phone supports it.
This product works in remote CD Changer mode. If you have remote CD changer control capability, you can use this product but your remote CD changer (separate from the radio) would have to be disconnected, if so equipped. We recommend you contact tech support for the manufacturer (info@gromaudio.com) or visit the gromaudio.com website to determine exactly how it's going to function in your vehicle with your options.
You may 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 GromAudio.com website or contact their tech support (info@gromaudio.com) if you have additional questions about capabilities and functionality. We're an authorized retailer but they're the manufacturer, so they're in the best position to advertise capabilities and functionality. Among other things, they have a Support/FAQ link on their site that contains useful information.
OPTIONAL CABLE INFORMATION
Unlike some competitor's products, this interface includes an extra input port so you can add another device with the use of an additional, optional cable. These cables are available as upgrades at the bottom of this ad.
- If you purchase the optional GA35CBL (available in the UPGRADES section below), 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.
