Harman Drive Play Overview

Harman Drive Play puts the familiar iPod menu on a backlit display right on your car’s dashboard or windshield, where you can read it at a glance. The Harman Drive Play is controlled by an intuitive interface that mimics the navigation on your iPod, and is just as easy to use—browse by artist, album, song, genre or composer. Mount the Harman Drive Play in someplace convenient and you can scroll through playlists or switch tracks at your leisure, all while keeping your eyes on the road.

Harman Drive Play Components

A backlit LCD pivoting display, which is designed to be mounted where the driver can easily see the screen while keeping their eyes on the road; a five-button navigation control unit – the navigation wheel is similar to BMW’s iDrive wheel, but mimics the iPods controls; and the “Brain” – the unit that connects everything together.













The brain of the Harman Drive Play features a wireless FM modulator with five factory frequencies and one definable by the user. Harman Drive Play also has a 3.5mm auxiliary output so you can connect it to any vehicle that has an auxiliary input jack. An auxiliary input allows the user to route other audio signals like satellite radio through the Harman Drive Play to the vehicle’s audio system.

















The Harman Drive Play charges the iPod when connected and shuts off when the car turns off. The unit returns to the place in the song where you left off when the vehicle is turned on again.

• Simple controls: The Harman Drive Play control knob is virtually identical to iPod’s Click Wheel so it is immediately familiar to iPod users. With three mounting bases for the most comfortable placement, the Harman Drive Play will be your right-hand man.
• Nerve center: The brain is the hidden central hub of the Harman Drive Play . You can connect your iPod and place them both out of sight under a seat, in the glovebox or in the center console, with no messy wires and no chance for damage to your iPod. It even charges your iPod when it’s plugged in.
• Multiple mounting options: You can connect Harman Drive Play in one of two ways. 1. To the auxiliary input: 3.5mm audio line output. 2.To the antenna input: Wired FM transmitter ( 5 pre-set frequencies, 1 user defined).
• The Harman Drive Play unit has a second auxiliary input to provide access to other audio devices like satellite radio receivers or a cell phone without unplugging your iPod.
