installed by a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
AUX input
An external audio source, e.g. a
portable CD player, can be connected via the AUX input of your vehicle.

96Introduction
For the best possible audio quality,
the external audio source should be
set to maximum volume. On units with line-out, the output signal is available
at a fixed audio level and cannot be
changed.
To avoid overriding the AUX input, the effective output voltage of the
external audio source must be lower
than 1.5 V.
