Installing the SkyDock in Your Vehicle
Step 1: Finding a Location for the SkyDock
The SkyDock mounts into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or 12V power socket.
If your vehicle has more than one 12V power socket, be sure to choose one that doesn’t
interfere with the driver’s vision or access to driving controls, doesn’t interfere
with the deployment of airbags or other safety equipment, and makes the iPhone
easily accessible for operation. Please see the safety warnings on page 8.
It will be easier to make connections to your SkyDock before you plug it into the power
socket, so we recommend completing
Step 2
and
Step 3
first.
Step 2: Mounting the Antenna and Routing the Cable
