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. 1 Connect one end of the audio cable to the 3.5 mm audio output jack on the Garmin DriveSmart power cable plug. TIP: The electrical system in some vehicles may generate background noise in the device audio, such buzzing or squealing, when you connect to the stereo using an auxiliary audio cable. If this occurs in your vehicle, you can connect a ground loop isolator (sold separately) between the audio cable and the audio output jack on the power plug. This can help eliminate the electrical background noise. 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.
