This feature allows you to plug an iPod t mobile digital
device into the vehicle's sound system through a connec-
tor (UCI connector) using an optional connection cable
(available through MOPAR t ). See your authorized dealer

connector.
Connecting The iPod T Device
Use the optional connection cable to connect an iPod t to
the vehicle's UCI connector (which is located in the glove
box or center console on some vehicles. This location may
vary with vehicle). Once the iPod t is connected and
synchronized to the vehicle system (this may take a few
seconds to connect), the vehicle brand logo appears on
the iPod t display, and it starts charging and is ready for
use by pressing radio switches as described below. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 227

mode. In Play mode, you may use the following buttons
on the radio faceplate to control the iPod t and display
data:
Tune/Scroll Knob

track.
The Tune/Scroll knob functions similar to the scroll
wheel on the iPod t mobile digital device. Turning it clockwise (forward) by one click while playing
a track skips to the next track.
Turning it counterclockwise (backward) by one click

previous track in the list and turning this button at any
other time in the track will jump to the beginning of the
current track.
RW (Rewind) Button

take you back to the beginning of the current track.
Pressing and releasing the RW button will go back five
seconds of the current track.
FF (Fast Forward) Button

If the left (down) button is pressed during the first two
seconds of the current track, it will go back to the
previous track in the list; if you press this button at any
other time in the current track it will go back to the
beginning of the track.
If the right (up) button is pressed during Play mode, it
will go to the next track in the list.
INFO Button
Press the INFO button while a track is playing to see the
information (Track Title, Artist, Album, etc.) for that
