BASIC  FuNCTIONS
resume Play
The  “Resume  Play”  feature  allows  the  iPod  to  play  the  cur-
rent  musical  selection  (Play  queue)  when  connecting  to  the 
Interface  Kit.  If  the  play  queue  was  empty,  the  Interface  Kit 
plays the entire iPod.
music Play
Select songs in the play queue and continue to play repeat-
edly until another selection is made.
music Search
The  user  can  make  media  selections  from  the  iPod  from  a 
preselected list of categories (Playlist, Artist, Album, Genre, 
Podcast  and  Audiobook).  The  radio  SAT  controls  coincide 
with similar functions on the iPod.
Text display
The  interface  utilizes  the  same  text  fields  provided  for  the 
satellite radio. For each song, the radio displays a track num-
ber, artist name and song title information. This corresponds 
to  the  SAT  channel  number,  artist  name  and  song  title  re-
spectively.
Connecting/disconnecting iPod
When the iPod is properly connected to the interface:
• iPod synchronized: On establishing connection with 
the iPod, an “accessory attached” symbol will appear 
as illustrated below.
• “Hello iPod” is shown in the radio’s display.
• Radio controlled: The iPod can only be operated us-
ing your vehicle’s SAT system controls. Once connect-
ed to the interface, the iPod’s controls (click wheel, 
etc.) no longer function. 
• Charging iPod: The vehicle charges the iPod battery 
when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position.
• iPod battery is discharged: If the iPod is in a fully 
discharged state, it may not be playable for a short 
period. “iPod Charge” is displayed on the radio if the 
iPod is in a low battery state.
When the iPod is disconnected from the interface:
• “No iPod” is shown in the radio’s display.
•  The radio remains in the SAT mode. 
NOTE: It  is  highly  recommended  to  turn  the  vehicle’s  igni-
tion  switch  (or  radio’s  power)  OFF  before  disconnecting  
the iPod from the radio.
All of these displays are subject to change. These are only examples.
