Getting Started with the ActiveCaptain App

You can connect a mobile device to the stereo using the ActiveCaptain® app. The app provides a quick and easy way for you to configure and interact with the lights connected to a Garmin Spectra™ LED control module.

  1. If necessary, set up the stereo as a Wi‑Fi® access point (Setting the Fusion PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access Point) or connect the stereo to a wireless router using an Ethernet cable.
  2. From the application store on your mobile device, install and open the ActiveCaptain app.
