Honda Music Link

Designed specifically for Honda vehicles, Honda Music Link allows you to play music from your

®

iPod®on your vehicle's audio system. Once connected, you can use the controls on

Apple
your vehicle's audio system to play music from your iPod, and it charges your iPod battery.

This Quick Reference Guide will help you get started using Honda Music Link quickly. See the
User's Guide on the Honda Music Link CD-ROM to learn how to use all of Honda Music Link's
features.

Connecting Your iPod

Switch your iPod to music mode. Find the Honda Music Link cable
installed inside the glove box, and plug it into the dock connector
port located on the bottom of the iPod. When the Honda Music Link
cable is properly connected, a check mark appears on the iPod

MENU

screen (right), and the iPod can only be operated using your
vehicle's audio system controls.

NOTE: Honda Music Link can be used with iPod (4th-generation or
later), iPod mini®, iPod nano®, and iPod video. It does not work with
the iPod shuffle®. Make sure your iPod has been updated with the
latest firmware from Apple.

Disconnecting Your iPod

To disconnect the iPod, squeeze both sides of the Honda Music Link cable connector and
unplug the cable. You can connect and disconnect your iPod while the audio system is on or off.

IMPORTANT:

• For your safety, do not connect or disconnect the iPod while driving.

• Secure the iPod in the glove box. Do not place it on or allow it to fall onto the vehicle floor,

where it can get stuck under the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.

• Do not leave the iPod in the vehicle in high temperatures or expose it to extended periods of

direct sunlight; doing so may damage it.

• To avoid damaging the Honda Music Link cable, do not pull strongly on the cable. Always

keep the connector dry, and cap the connector when it is not in use.
