Introduction

IMPORTANT: Please use common sense
when operating your Insane Audio head
unit. You should NEVER be operating the
unit, watching videos or television while
driving. Keep your hands on the wheel
and keep your eyes on the road!
Never attempt to open your Insane Audio head unit or
repair it yourself. Doing so is not only dangerous, but it
will void your warranty.
This product uses a 12V power supply system and should
be properly grounded at all times. Please consult a
professional car stereo installer if you aren’t sure whether
or not your system has been properly installed.

Hardware and buttons
The following buttons are on the left side of your JK1001…
This is the Mini USB to full size adapter cable. The smaller end plugs into the
JK1001 and allows you to plug a full size USB drive into the larger end. This
way you can access music, movies or other information from a full size USB
thumb drive right through the face of your JK1001.
This is the main menu of your Insane Audio head unit. At
the top of your screen you will see an icon with six
squares grouped together. We call this the ‘six pack’.

Applications & Widgets
Clicking on the six pack will lead you to the app drawer
where you can view all applications currently installed on
the system. Note that these are arranged alphabetically.
Your unit comes with all sorts of different applications but how
you use the system is entirely up to you! You can remove apps
or download new ones from the Google Play store. At time of
writing this Quick Start Guide, there are over 2 million apps
available on the Google Play store. Many of them are free and
almost all of them will work with your new Insane Audio head
unit!
To move an application from the app drawer to your home
screen, simply press and hold on the specific app and drag
where you would like that app to be. When you do that, you
now have an icon on your home screen.

Applications & Widgets
It’s important to understand the differences between icons on
your home screen and applications in the app drawer. Icons
on your home screen are simply shortcuts to applications so you
can move or delete these however you’d like. To delete an icon
from your home screen, simply hold it down then drag it to the
trash. That application will still exist in the app drawer,
however, so you can always add it back by pressing the six pack
then dragging that application back to your home screen.
Also note that you have several pages on your home screen for
icons or widgets. Try swiping the screen to the left and right
and check it out!
Android also has the concept of widgets. A widget is a
control or tool that you can add to your home screen.
Unlike a shortcut to an app, a widget displays information
or allows you to control an aspect of the system right
from your home screen.
Your Insane Audio head unit already contains a bunch of
cool widgets that we put on there for you. To access
them, press the six pack, then swipe the screen past all of
the applications. Widgets are found to the right of
applications in the app drawer. Just like applications,
simply hold down the widget you want to move and drag
it to your home screen.
