using the device buttons. The volume may
be controlled using the radio or device.
• To route the audio cable out of the center
console, use the access cut out in the front

proximately five minutes for every
1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also dur-
ing the reading process, the Shuffle and
Browse functions will be disabled.This process is needed to ensure the full use
of your features and only happens the first
time it is connected. After the first time, the
reading process of your device will take con-
siderably less time unless changes are made
or new songs are added to the playlist.
