iPod interface information

It is not possible to run the adapter for iPod parallel with a Satellite Radio tuner module. However, a portable satellite radio unit can be connected to the head unit through the "AUX" port.

Charging

The interface automatically charges the battery of the iPod when connected and the key is in the ACC/ON position.

The icon appearing on the upper right corner of the iPod scr een in dic ates charging.

Browsing hierarchy structure

Music stored on the iPod is classified based on the Song name, Artist and Album information contained within each Track. Music purchased from online stores comes with accurate Track information, but you may need to update these fields* if music content originates from ripping CD. A large music collection typically results in having 100s of Artists with 1000s of Albums. An arbitrary list of Songs may be organized into a Playlist (using iTunes); you may have many Playlists.

To play a desired Song within an Album, you may browse through a long list of Albums. Alternatively, you may narrow down the selection using Playlist as the primary filter, Artist as the 2nd level filter and Album as the 3rd and final filter. This type of approach is a more efficient way to get to a desired music selection.

* Artist and Album tag info are embedded in each song. Please refer to iTunes' info tag screen (CTRL+I on a

PC, + I on a Mac) to verify and correct Song information as needed. Only the fields circled below may be displayed on the radio.

Hierarchy structure of the interface

By default, the interface creates a Playlist having a name that is the same as the name of the iPod. This Playlist is the very first on the list of Playlists shown while browsing with the category select keys in Playlist Mode. Note that this “all content” Playlist may have as many as several thousand songs, therefore it should not be used for general browsing, but for random content playback with the Shuffle Mode engaged, or for further filtering by Artist and Album. Once a Playlist is active an Artist may be selected within that Playlist using the Artist Mode. Albums by the selected Artist and within the selected Playlist may be selected in Album Mode. "ALL ARTIST" and "ALL ALBUM" designate all available content in those categories.

BROWSING HIERARCHY STRUCTURE

PLAYLIST

ARTIST

ALBUM

To select an Album that is not in the current list, you must go back one filter level and select the Artist having the desired album first, before the actual Album could be selected. You may also go back to the top filter level by selecting a different Playlist having the content.

We do not recommend putting Podcast and Audiobook content into a Playlist because if an Audiobook is added to a Playlist then tune dial will not take you to the next Chapter but to the following entry of the Playlist. Playlists can only contain Episodes of a Podcast.
