Troubleshooting
Problem
Text is not displaying in selected
emulation.
iPod does not charge.
Music is distorted or sound level
is too low with iPod connected.
Why is the interface not controlling
the iPod/USB drive?
Sirius tuner can’t be selected.
Why does the message “iPod
UNLOCKED” display on screen?
Solution
Identify your audio system first and set switches accordingly on
MediaBridge module. Use the DISP button on radio/display to toggle
text fields. CD emulation has no text display.
Check all connections. See if iPod charges while connected to
computer or wall charger. You may need to reset the iPod.
Make sure all EQ and BASS boost options are turned off on your iPod.
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.
Unit must be in SAT emulation. Check for proper connection to the
mini DIN 8 receptacle.
When the MediaBridge is playing iPod music in UNLOCKED mode,
browsing mode information isn’t available so the “iPod UNLOCKED”
notification is shown. To view information associated with browsing
modes, ensure the iPod’s hold button is set before connecting it to
MediaBridge.
