Description/Product Feature List:
The uPAC-FRD24 from PAC Audio is a plug-and-play interface that can allow for any 2 of the following sources be added to your factory radio. We describe each one and the way it integrates with your factory radio below. Apple iPod/iPhone© (cable included) Auxiliary Audio Input (cable included) HD Radio™ (HDRT HD Radio Tuner Required) Sirius Satellite Radio (SCC1 Sirius Satellite Radio Tuner & uPAC-SIRCBL required) Cannot do HD Radio and Sirius together
Apple iPod/iPhone©: Allows for 2 different modes to control your Apple iPod/iPhone© from your factory radio. Each mode is selected from your radio controls. No need to set one or the other at time of installation. Your Apple iPod/iPhone© charges while connected in any mode you choose. It will also pause and stop charging when you turn off your vehicle. For more info about compatible Apple iPod/iPhone© models see the Compatibility Notes tab. ADVANCED IPOD MODE: Advanced Controls thru the factory stereo, Displays Text on radio. Allows you to browse your iPod by Playlist, Artist, Album, Genre, Composer, Track from your radio buttons. Your Apple iPod/iPhone© music control is only thru the radio. SIMPLE IPOD MODE: Simple Controls thru the factory stereo. Allows you to switch tracks up/down from your radio buttons/steering wheel controls. You can also use the controls on your Apple iPod/iPhone© music section like normal.
Auxiliary Audio Input: Allows for one direct audio input to your radio. In this mode you can listen to any audio source that is connected via the 3.5mm (1/8") or RCA audio input on this interface. The input is turned on from your radio buttons, so you can choose to listen to it at anytime. You can have two sources plugged into this (rca and 3.5mm) but only one can be playing at a time. This input is a digital audio input. It is perfectly suited for a aftermarket external satellite radio, non-ipod mp3 player or for dvd audio instead of a FM transmitter.
Sirius Satellite Radio: Integrate Sirius Radio directly into your factory audio system. Control it from the factory radio buttons & steering wheel controls. Display the text from Sirius on your radio display. Performs exactly like a factory satellilte radio system would on your factory radio.
HD Radio™: Integrate HD Radio™ directly into your factory audio system. Control it from the factory radio buttons & steering wheel controls. Display the text from HD Radio™ on your radio display. By adding the HDRT you will receive digital radio stations that can not be received with a standard tuner. Experience HD Radio and hear FM in CD quality, and AM at FM quality!
