Playback of MP3 FilesWhen a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the
radio checks all files on the medium. If the medium
contains a lot of folders or files, the radio will take more
time to start playing the MP3 files.
Loading times for playback of MP3 files may be affected
by the following:
Media - CD-RW media may take longer to load than
CD-R media
Medium formats - Multisession discs may take longer
to load than non-multisession discs
Number of files and folders - Loading times will
increase with more files and folders
To increase the speed of disc loading, it is recommended
to use CD-R media and single-session discs. To create a
single-session disc, enable the “Disc at Once” option
before writing to the disc.

feature, refer to the separate RER, REN or REZ User’s
Manual. UCI is available only if equipped as an option
with these radios.
This feature allows you to plug an iPodtinto the
vehicle’s sound system through a 16–pin connector, using
the provided interface cable.
UCI supports Mini, 4G, Photo, Nano, 5G iPodt and
iPhonet devices. Some iPodt software versions may not
fully support the UCI features. Please visit Apple’s
website for software updates.
NOTE:
If the radio has a USB port, connecting an iPodt to this
port does not play the media. For playing an iPodt,
use the separate 16–pin connector port (in the glove
compartment on some vehicles).
Connecting an iPodt to the AUX port located in the
radio faceplate, plays media, but does not use the UCI
feature to control the connected device.
Connecting The iPodT
Use the optional connection cable to connect an iPodt to
the vehicle’s 16–pin connector port (which is located in
the glove compartment on some vehicles). Once the
iPodt is connected and synchronized to the vehicle’s UCI
system (iPodt may take a few seconds to connect), the
iPodt starts charging and is ready for use by pressing
radio switches, as described below.
NOTE:
You may have to remove the connector pin protection
cap from the 16–pin connector port, prior to connect-
ing the cable.
