iPhone  devices. Some iPod  software versions may not
fully support the UCI features. Please visit Apple’s
website for software updates.
NOTE:
• If the radio has a USB port, connecting an iPod  to this
port does not play the media. For playing an iPod  ,
use the separate 16–pin connector port (in the glove
compartment on some vehicles).

iPod  starts charging and is ready for use by pressing
radio switches, as described below.
NOTE:
• It may be necessary to remove the connector pin
protection cap from the 16–pin connector port, prior to
connecting the cable.
• If the iPod  battery is completely discharged, it may
not communicate with the UCI system until a mini-
mum charge is attained. Leaving the iPod  connected
to the UCI system may charge it to the required level.
Using This Feature
By using the provided connection cable to connect an
iPod  to the vehicle’s UCI 16–pin connector port:
• The iPod  audio can be played on the vehicle’s sound
system, providing metadata (artist, track title, album,
etc.) information on the radio display.236 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

• The iPod  can be controlled using the radio buttons to
Play, Browse, and List the iPod  contents.
