Infotainment System 33
*For proper operation, make sure
the iPod has the latest firmware
from Apple
®. The iPod firmware can
be updated using the latest iTunes
application. See www.apple.com/
itunes.
To connect and control the iPod,
connect one end of the specially
iPod connection cable that came
with the vehicle to the iPod’s dock
connector. Connect the other end to
both the USB port and the auxiliary
input jack. The USB port and the
auxiliary input jack are located in
the center console bin. The iPod
music displays on the radio’s
display and begins playing through
the vehicle's radio system.
A standard iPod USB cable, like the
one that came with the iPod, cannot
be used to connect an iPod to the
vehicle. The iPod connection cable
that was purchased with the vehicle
or that was made available from
your dealer must be used in order
for this feature to work. Use the radio
qMENUrSELECT
knob to bring up the iPod Menu and
select Songs, Artists, Albums,
Playlists and Audio Books to play
from the iPod.
The iPod charges while it is
connected to the vehicle and if the
vehicle is turned to ACC/
ACCESSORY or ON/RUN. It can
also be left connected to the vehicle
while the vehicle is turned off or
removed. With the vehicle turned
off, the iPod automatically powers
off and will not charge or draw
power from the vehicle's battery.
If an older iPod model is used that
is not supported or does not have
the special iPod connection cable,
the iPod can still be used in the
vehicle by connecting it to the
Auxiliary Input Jack using a
standard 3.5 mm (1/8 in) stereo
cable. See “Using the Auxiliary Input
Jack” earlier for more information.Gracenote Database
When a CDDA is recorded from a
CD to the HDD, the music
information (Album name, Artist
name, Song name and Genre) is
retrieved from the Gracenote
database, stored in the radio. The
database information uses the
information of Gracenote Music
Recognition Service. See the
owner's manual for more information
on the Gracenote Database.
Gracenote Music Recognition
Service, Music recognition
technology, and related data are
provided by Gracenote

XM NavTraffic™(USA and
Canada)
The navigation system might have
an XM NavTraffic receiver. It is a
subscription service provided
through XM Satellite Radio.

displays:
.Unscheduled traffic incident
data, such as accidents and
disabled vehicles
.Scheduled traffic incident data,
such as road construction and
road closures
.Traffic flow information (rate of
speed data). Flow data might not
be available in all markets.
Traffic information is delivered to the
vehicle by the XM Radio satellites.
XM NavTraffic provides continuously
updated traffic information.
XM NavTraffic currently broadcasts

screen appears on the display
when this has been selected.
When these features are
highlighted while traveling on a
route, accidents can be viewed
and avoided that are on the
route.
When traffic is enabled, a vehicle
traffic symbol appears in the Traffic
screen button. The vehicle traffic
symbol is color coded, as follows:
.No symbol displays if traffic
conditions reported to the
navigation system do not affect
the vehicle, or no information is
received while driving on a route
that is not active.

Black plate (63,1)Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Navigation System (Includes Mex) - 2012
Infotainment System 63
Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The navigation system determines
the position of the vehicle by using
satellite signals, various vehicle
signals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such
as the satellite condition, road
configuration, the condition of the
vehicle and/or other circumstances
can interfere with the navigation
system's ability to determine the
accurate position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
the GPS Satellites of the United
States Department of Defense.
When the vehicle is not receiving
signals from the satellites, a symbol
appears on the map screen. Refer
to Symbols.This system may not be available or
interferences may occur if any of the
following is true:.Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
.Objects are located on the rear
shelf of the vehicle.
.Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
.After-market glass tinting has
been applied to the vehicle's
rear windshield.
Notice: Do not apply after-market
glass tinting to the vehicle's
windows. Glass tinting interferes
with the system's ability to
receive GPS signals and causes
the system to malfunction. The
window might have to be
replaced to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by the
warranty. For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see If the
System Needs Service and
Problems with Route Guidance.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map may be inaccurate due
to one or more of the following
reasons:
.The road system has changed.
.The vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as in sand,
gravel and/or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling on
winding roads.
.The vehicle is on a long
straight road.
.The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
.The surface streets run parallel
to a freeway.

.Automatic rerouting may display
a route returning to the set
waypoint if heading for a
destination without passing
through a set waypoint.
.The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.
.Some routes may not be
searched.
.The route to the destination may
not be shown if there are new
roads, if roads have recently
changed or if certain roads are
not listed in the map data. See
Ordering Map DVDs.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position
on the map, see “Compass”in the
vehicle's owner manual.

service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are
still problems, see your dealer for
