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

number and alphabetically in the iPod ® hard disk.
Apple* iPod ® connection 40
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 playlist 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 iTunes 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.

iPod
® will be played (by artist, genre, album, playlist...)

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 directory 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 the root directory of the memory stick or
player. In this way the songs can be stored 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.
