Using the wireless remote control of your car CD changer will not only increase your enjoyment of hours of continuous music, but it has important safety benefits as well. By familiarizing yourself with the intuitive functions of the remote, you will be able to enjoy the ease and convenience of your CD changer without ever taking your eyes off the road.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Owner's manual
• Batteries
• Wireless remote control
• Velcro straps

1. Shop around for the CD changer with the most intuitive remote by visiting local car audio retailers and getting hands-on experience. You can also read reviews online or from car audio magazines and other publications such as "Consumer Reports."
2. Familiarize yourself with how to use the wireless remote control by learning about all of its functions and features. Make sure you try each feature out to make sure your car CD is wired properly and performing as it should.
3. Practice using all of the functions of the remote control until you can operate it perfectly without looking at it.
4. Consider using Velcro straps with adhesive backing to affix your wireless remote control to a convenient area inside your vehicle, such as the center console or dashboard. This way, you won't be constantly searching for it while you are driving.
5. Take the wireless remote for your CD changer with you when you leave your car, or hide it in the glove compartment. Leaving a remote in plain sight will be a clue to potential car thieves that you have a CD changer hidden somewhere in your car. In addition, direct sunlight and excessive heat can potentially damage your remote.
6. Investigate the new generation of wireless remotes for car audio systems that can be programmed to work with the steering wheel controls on some newer car models. These types of wireless systems are more expensive, but represent the ultimate in technology and road safety.

Tips & Warnings

• Always keep a spare set of batteries in your glove compartment in case the batteries in the wireless remote for your car CD changer wear out. This way, you won't be tempted to revert back to manual operation, which could be a safety issue.
• Be even more aware of safety by always delegating music selections to one of your passengers.
