disc that contains compressed CD
audio from all formats that are supported. By default the radio
shows the CD label on the left side
of the screen but plays all supported
file formats in the order in which
they were recorded to the CD.
Background Recording

such as AM, FM, HDD, or AUX. The
quality of the listening experience
should be the same whether
recording in the background or not,
and the speed of the recording
process does not take any longer
than normal.
Timeshift cannot be activated during
the background recording function.
Duplicate Content
When record is executed the
system checks to see if the CD has

Infotainment System 29
or only some of a CD exists, the
entire CD records to the hard drive.
This could result in duplicate songs.

recording process has completed,
tracks that have been completely
recorded are stored to the hard
drive, incomplete tracks are
discarded.

downloaded from www.audible.com
and files can be transferred to the
vehicle by either a CD or a USB
storage device.
The use of the audible.com
playback feature requires that the
audible.com account be activated
with the radio. For more information
on creating an account, visit
www.audible.com/caraudio. The activation process requires the
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
of the vehicle.
Auxiliary Devices
The navigation system has an
auxiliary input jack located in the
center console. This is not an audio
output; do not plug the headphone
set into the front auxiliary input jack.
You can however, connect an
external audio device such as an
iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player,
CD changer, or cassette tape
player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack
for use as another source for audio
listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up
any auxiliary device while the
vehicle is in P (Park). See
“Defensive Driving”
in the Index of
the vehicle owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player,
connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to
the auxiliary input jack. When a
device is connected, the system
Page 30 of 70
Black plate (30,1)Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Navigation System - 2013 - crc - 8/21/12
30 Infotainment System
detects and automatically begins
playing audio from the device over
the vehicle's speakers.
If a device is connected and you are
listening to another source (FM, XM
(if equipped), CD, MP3, etc.), press
the AUDIO control button then press
AUDIO repeatedly until AUX is
selected or press the AUX screen
button. An auxiliary device must be
connected for the AUX screen
button to appear as an option to
select.
The screen buttons are dependent
of the type of auxiliary device that
you are using.
USB Host Support

USB 2.0.
USB Supported Devices
.USB Flash Sticks (Pen Drives)
.Portable USB Hard Drives
.Compact Flash (or other
portable media) adaptersDepending on the USB mass
storage device, some devices may
not be recognized. The HUB device
is not supported.
USB Playback
Music can be played directly from
the USB device and controlled
through the radio's MP3 control
functions and the Music Navigator.
USB Media Recording
A USB Mass Storage device such
as a
“pen drive” or a portable USB
hard drive can be connected to the
USB port to record media contents,
such as compressed audio files
from the USB storage device onto
the HDD. The USB port is located in
the center console bin, between the
Accessory Power Outlet (APO)
socket and the auxiliary input jack.
In addition to recording the content
from the USB storage device,
content can be played back directly
from the USB device.
USB Background Recording
If the content of a USB device is
chosen to be copied, these media
files are copied to the hard drive.
The recording process occurs in the
background and does not affect
playback from any source, including
the USB device itself. The quality of
the listening experience should be
the same whether recording in the
background or not, and the speed of
the recording process does not take
any longer than normal.
Timeshift cannot be activated during
the background recording function.
Using the Radio Controls to
Connect and Control
Your iPod
®
An iPod can be controlled using the
radio buttons and knobs and display
your iPod song information on the
radio’s display. To connect and
control an iPod using the radio
controls, the vehicle must have a
USB port. If it does, it is located in
the center console bin. A special
Page 31 of 70
Black plate (31,1)Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Navigation System - 2013 - crc - 8/21/12
Infotainment System 31
iPod connection cable is needed
that came with the vehicle, from
your dealer. See your dealer for
more information.
This feature supports the following
iPod models:
.Fifth generation or later iPod
.First or Second generation or
later iPod Nano*
*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 radioqMENUrSELECT
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
