Troubleshooting

Problem

Solution

Cannot select the interface.

Radio/ steering wheel controls do not operate iPod.

Reset iPod and make sure the most recent iPod firmware is installed. Check vehicle user manual on how steering wheel controls work, long presses may toggle alternate function.

Why does the radio display show “EMPTY/STOP” and no music plays?

End of a playlist or folder is reached. Please select a new Playlist or Folder using Preset 2/DISC 2.

Check DIP switch settings. With the ignition OFF disconnect vehicle harness from module for a few seconds and reconnect. Verify that the correct button is used to access the interface. On some cars the AM button is used to access SAT emulation.

Problem

Solution

No audio from iPod source.

Reset the iPod. Verify proper connection to iPod/interface. Check for compatibility. Older iPod models don’t support USB audio.

Music is distorted or sound level is too low with iPod connected.

Make sure all EQ and BASS boost options are turned off on your iPod.

Sirius tuner can’t be selected.

Unit must be in SAT emulation. Check for proper connection to the mini DIN 8 receptacle.

iPod does not charge.

Check all connections. See if iPod charges while connected to computer or wall charger. You may need to reset the iPod.

Why does category read “PRESELCTD”?

Playback of content selected on the iPod before connected to the interface continues until new content is selected.

Mini USB port for software update

Why is the interface not controlling the iPod/USB drive?

Please make sure that the USB connection is not loose. Make sure that an iPod case is not preventing the dock connector from being fully seated. Disconnect and reconnect the device. If iPod is not responding please try resetting it. USB device must also be FAT16/32 format and contain supported MP3, WMA or AAC content.
