The MIT tester is designed to work with Kia vehicles supporting Aux, USB and both factory and port/dealer installed Kia Bluetooth(R) Systems. During testing, the MIT simulates Aux and USB input source and plays through the audio system. The tester also simulates a phone call coming into the vehicle to verify both pairing and connectivity. The MIT is powered via the USB cable attached to the unit. It also eliminates the need for the technician to use their own personal cell phone or media device to check the system.
Connection
1. Turn vehicle ignition on.
2. Connect the USB and Audio (Line-In) cables to the vehicle's audio ports. The MIT is powered by the USB Cable.
3. Verify the green power LED is illuminated.
4. The included USB power adapter can be used to power the MIT for those vehicles that do not have a USB port.
