Notes on connecting Apple devices
Ensure that the iOS and firmware
of your device is up-to-date before
connecting it to your system.
Outdated devices may cause a
system error.
If your device’s battery is low, the
device may not be recognised.
Check the battery level and, if nec-
essary, charge the battery before
connecting the device to your sys-
tem.
Use an Apple-approved cable.
Using an unapproved cable may
cause a distorted noise or an error
during playback.
Use a cable shorter than 1 metre in
length, such as the one originally
supplied with a new Apple device.
Longer cables may lead to the
audio system not recognising the
Apple device.
Fully insert a USB connector into
the USB port. Failure to do so may
cause a communication error. When your device is connected to
the USB port and the AUX port
simultaneously, it is recognised in
the AUX mode. The device stays in
the AUX mode even if the AUX
cable is not connected to the sys-
tem. To play music in iPod mode,
disconnect the AUX cable from the
device or change audio output of
the device to “Dock”.
If you connect your device to the
system whilst playback is in
progress on the device, you may
hear a high pitch sound just after
the connection. Connect the device
after stopping or pausing playback.
Connecting your device during a
download or synchronizing with
iTunes may cause an error.
Connect the device after the down-
load or synchronization is com-
plete.
If you connect an iPod nano
(except for the 6th generation) or
an iPod classic, the brand logo will
be displayed on the device screen.
For an iPhone and an iPod touch,
the logo will not be displayed.
Notes on playing Apple devices
Depending on the model, your
device may not be recognised due
to unsupported communication
protocols.
The order of the songs displayed
or played on the system may differ
from the order of the songs stored
in your device.
Depending on the music player
application you are using, informa-
tion displayed on the system may
differ.
In an iPhone, the audio streaming
function and iPod mode control
may conflict. If an error occurs, dis-
connect and reconnect the USB
cable.
When using an iPhone or an iPod
touch, do not control the device
whilst it is connected to your sys-
tem. An error may occur.
If you make or receive a call during
playback via an iPhone, the music
may remain paused after you end
the call. If you do not hear the
music after ending a call, check the
device to see if the music has
paused.

Do not duplicate a song in multiple
folders. One song saved in multiple
folders may cause an error with
search and playback functions.
If you perform a media control
function, such as stop or repeat,
just before a song ends, the song
information displayed on the
screen may not match the song
currently playing. This is not a sys-
tem error. Restart the iPod mode
on the system or pause and
resume playback on your device.
Skipping or improper operations
may occur depending on the char-
acteristics of your Apple device.
If the Apple device malfunctions
due to an Apple device defect,
reset the Apple device and try
again. (To learn more, refer to your
Apple device manual.)Using the AUX mode
You can listen to audio from your
vehicle’s speakers by connecting
external devices, such as smart-
phones and MP3 players.
Connect an external device to the
AUX port in your vehicle using an
AUX cable.
The AUX mode starts automatical-
ly and the sound is heard via your
vehicle’s speakers.
If an external device is already
connected to the system, press the
[MEDIA] button and press the [3]
button to select AUXfrom the
media selection window.Press the [MENU] button on the con-
trol panel to access the following a
menu option:
Sound Settings: Customise the
system sound settings.
Because the system works as an
output device of the connected
external device in the AUX
mode, you cannot use controls
other than the volume control.
Use controls on the external
device to control playback.
The sound volume for the AUX
mode is adjusted separately
from the other modes.
Depending on the device type,
using an external device with
the power cable plugged into the
power jack may cause a distort-
ed noise.
If the AUX cable is plugged into
the system without an external
device, a distorted noise may
occur. Remove the AUX cable
from the AUX port when an exter-
nal device is not connected.
