Connecting to the Stereo Using an Auxiliary Audio Cable
If your Garmin DriveSmart device is not connected to the vehicle stereo using a Bluetooth connection, you can
send the device audio to the vehicle stereo using a 3.5 mm stereo auxiliary audio cable.
NOTE: This feature is not available for all product models.
1 Connect one end of the audio cable to the 3.5 mm audio output jack on the Garmin DriveSmart power cable
plug.
2 Connect the other end of the audio cable to the auxiliary input jack for your vehicle stereo.
This jack may be labeled AUX or Line In. See your vehicle owner's manual for more information.
3 Set the audio source for your vehicle stereo to the auxiliary input.

• During the initial Garmin Drive app pairing process, select No when the app asks whether you currently
use Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone to your vehicle.
• After the initial pairing process, from your Garmin DriveSmart device, select Volume > Bluetooth Audio
Setup, and verify Garmin Device is selected for each audio type.
