ICRUZE INTERFACE MODULE MPC FX IM-NIS1 I N S TA L L AT I O N & U S E R G U I D E
IMPORTANT NOTE: A NOTE FROM THE HEAD MONSTER This cable and/or module is for use in installations that typically have a CD changer installed from the factory or are prewired for one in a non-dash location. It is a complicated installation and professional installation is HIGHLY recommended. Thank you for purchasing the Monster Factory•Linx™ iCruze®—one of the most exciting products Monster has ever offered.
LOSS OF CERTAIN EXISTING FUNCTIONS Use and installation of iCruze requires disconnection and loss of use of any existing factory installed non-integrated CD-changer (i.e. trunk, center console, under seat). iCruze is not compatible with some vehicles that have existing, factory installed integrated CD changers. Typically this is an in-dash CD changer. Call your dealer and ask if your factory stereo has a CD or CD changer port/option on the rear of the stereo. If yes, then it is iCruze compatible.
Monster is not responsible for damage caused to your iPod from misuse. INCLUDED ITEMS iCruze is compatible with iPod models with dock connector. You should never leave or store your iPod in your vehicle for an extended amount of time. Failure to do so may damage your iPod from heat, cold and moisture extremes. See your iPod manual for acceptable temperature ranges.
