iPod interface*General notes

navigation system and allows you to play audio files directly 
over the vehicle's sound system.The iPod interface is located in the vehicle glove box. It is compatible with 3rd 
generation or higher iPod
3) devices (made from about 2003 onwards), with 
the exception of the iPod Shuffle.
The iPod is controlled using the CD function  ⇒page 44.
•The navigation system orders (first numerically and then alphabetically) 
the playlists with the tracks stored in the iPod and then assigns them in the 
sequence CD 1 to CD 5. For easier playing of these playlists through the 
vehicle's sound system, we recommend you create five playlists (e.g. 1.... to 
5....) in your iPod.•If you select CD 6, all the tracks on the iPod will be played even if they are 
stored in different playlists.
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and genre, or the 
name of a playlist, does not appear on the navigation system display.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a vehicle's inte-
rior) can cause damage to the iPod and/or impair its performance.•Please do not leave your iPod in the vehicle in case of extreme tempera-
tures.
