Turning On
The iPod
® t u r n s o n a u t o m a t i c a l l y i f i t i s in the adaptor when the sound system
is switched on. The battery will also charge when the iPod
® is in the adaptor.
Turning Off
Depending on the sound system, the iPod
® will turn itself off some minutes
after the sound system is turned off.
Note
Starting the car when the iPod
® is on will momentarily interrupt playback.
Playback will begin again at the point where it was interrupted.
Control of the iPod
® through the sound
system
Music playback through the sound system
Once the iPod
® is attached to the connector, the sound
system detects it as CD changer.
Control is through the sound system controls. The iPod
® is used like a CD
changer. Choosing and playing songs, fast forward and rewind and random
playback are described in the radio or navigation system manual of your
vehicle.
Playing songs from the playlists
Songs can be stored in playlists on the iPod
®. The playlists are ordered by
number and alphabetically in the iPod
® hard disk. The first five playlists stored on your iPod
® can be chosen directly by using
the function keys to on the sound system. The existing playlists will be
assigned by numerical / alphabetical order to the keys to . If, for
example, the function key of the sound system is pressed, the songs on
the second playlist will be played. If an empty or non-existant playlist is
selected, the next play list will be selected.
To make use of the playlists in the vehicle as easy as possible, we recommend
editing a maximum of five playlists in the iPod
®. If you want to play songs
from a playlist that cannot be selected directly by the function keys to ,
we recommend renaming the list using the “iTunes” computer programme so
that it is among the first six on the iPod
® hard disk.
Remember that some versions of iTun es contain predetermined playlists (on-
the-go, my favourites). These folders also count in the total of six that the
vehicle sound system can play. Ensure that they are ordered and arranged
conveniently.
Pressing the key will enable all the songs on the iPod to be played.
Consult the iPod
® manufacturer's instruction manual to learn how to select
and store songs and create playlists.
Play all recorded songs
If the function key of the sound system is pressed, all the songs on the
iPod
® will be played.
Selecting songs manually on the iPod

duration will depend on, among other things, the type of iPod
® used.
•
Depending on the sound system, when changing a playlist, a song from
the previous list may be played. This is a system function and not an error.
•
The information stored on the iPod
® such as artist, title, album, music
type is not processed by the iPod
® adaptor. Songs cannot be selected
according to these search criteria, and no indication is given on the sound
system panel.

folder can be played
A title with three figures will not show the hundreds on the screen, only the
last two.
The music can be controlled via the radio keys. Choosing and playing songs,
fast forward and rewind and random playback are described in the radio
manual of your vehicle.
If there are folders in the root director y individual files will not be played, so
all data in the root directory should be in folders
Storing files in a memory stick or MP3 player
Store files in folders instead of using th e root directory of the memory stick or
player. In this way the songs can be st ored in order (eg all the songs in a
certain style in the same folder).
The function keys to of the radio can only select the first 5 folders.
If there are more than 6 folders in the memory stick or MP3 player their
content cannot be played.
The folders can be subdivided into subfolders eg different albums by an
artist.
Example of a music folder structure:
Playback of music via USB connection
Connect the memory stick or MP3 player with the USB extension cable to the
USB port.
The screen will show the first 6 folders detected by the USB port, displayed as
CD 1 to CD 6 . Folders without music files will not be included.
If there are more than 6 music folders in the device, the exact number of
folders can be shown using the CD options. If the music files are not classified into
folders, but stored directly in the root
directory, the radio will read the files and play them in the same order. The
display then shows CD 1.
Music files and folders will be played in alphabetical order, so files begin-
niing woth numbers will be selected first, before those with letters. A file with
the name 1XXXXXXXX will be played before another with the name AAAAAA.
Screen indications

ment screen Track 1 .

When entering an address (town, street ) only those letters or symbols which
make up a logical entry depending on th e contents of the navigation CD will
be presented. A list of possible names will be shown. Do not forget to enter
the blank space in names made up of more than one word, such as Milton
Keynes.
The route will be recalculated if you leave or disregard the route that was orig-
inally calculated. This process takes only a few seconds.

mendation can be changed whilst it is being made.
A variety of different information on the route can be called up during active
route guidance. The scroll function can be used to page through lists shown
on the screen, either line by line or page by page.
If the display “ Off Road” appears on the screen, it means you are located on
a non-digitalised street, e.g. on a farm tr ack. The GPS satellites will not be
able to reach your antenna when you are in a tunnel or underground garage,
meaning that the unit orientates itself via the wheel sensors. If you try to carry
out a route calculation in this situation you may hear the message: “You are
