Car USB/SD Adapter CTAARUSB001 for Alfa Romeo 147/156/157

This device connects to the factory tape recorder via the CD changer connector and works as a virtual CD changer. The USB adapter preserves the full functionality of the tape recorder and its control on the steering wheel (if available) and is controlled like a regular CD changer. What's more, any external audio sources can be connected to the adapter via the AUX input.

• The USB adapter is controlled by standard tape recorder buttons or steering wheel control (if available)
• The tape recorder display shows the number of the file being played and the playing time
• All standard MP3 files up to 320Kbps are supported
• The adapter does not require additional external power supply
• Devices that support charging (mobile phones, MP3 players, etc.) can be charged through the USB connection.

• The audio signal to the tape recorder is transmitted by wires, thus guaranteeing the quality of the transmitted sound, which is significantly lost when using any FM modulators.
• Tracks are stored in directories CD01, CD02... (up to max. CD10 - depending on the capabilities of the tape recorder) with max. With 99 songs in each, you can choose from up to 900 songs at once!
• The functions of repeating songs (Repeat) and playing in random order (Random) are supported
• After removing the adapter, there is no sign of its presence
• The extension cable of the USB connection is brought to a place convenient for the driver
• The device installation procedure is extremely simple
• The USB adapter is installed in an invisible place, so the factory appearance of the car interior is preserved and the possibility of theft is reduced to a minimum.
• The memory of the last position is saved, so the playback of the recording continues from the point where it was interrupted
• Loading/unloading new music tracks to a USB stick is much faster and more convenient than burning them to a CD
