Audio System
NOTE
 y If an analog broadcast is received once
and
is received while HD1 is
selected, the audio unit switches to the
station automatically. y  When the icon is illuminated, there
could be a noticeable difference in
sound quality and volume when a
change from digital to analog signals
occurs. If the sound quality and volume
become noticeably diminished or cut
off, select the
icon to turn off
( icon is not illuminated). y  Once an analog broadcast is received
when HD1 is selected from the Favorite
channels, it is switched to
automatically. If the radio reception
conditions are poor, or HD is off,
switching to
broadcasts is
not possible.
 y  When an HD specialty channel (HD2 to
HD8) is selected from the Favorite
channels, “Signal Lost” is displayed
and no audio is output until
is received. If the radio reception
conditions are poor, “Signal Lost”
continues to be displayed.
 y If the icon is not illuminated,
information such as song titles of the
station are received,
however, the audio output is analog.

automatically.
3. Synchronize the device with iTunes. The tagged song can now be purchased

NOTE
 y Both AM and FM can be
used.
 y  Because iTunes Tagging only supports
purchasing from the iTunes Store, direct
downloading from the equipped vehicle
audio is not possible.
 y If the available memory for the
connected device is insuffi cient, the tag
is not sent.

A2DP is a profi le which transmits only
audio to the Bluetooth
® unit. If your
Bluetooth® audio device corresponds only
to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot
operate it using the control panel of the
vehicle's audio system. In this case, the
Bluetooth
® audio device can be operated
by controlling the device itself, the same
as when a portable audio system without
the Bluetooth
® communication function is
connected to the AUX terminal.

NOTE
 y The battery consumption of Bluetooth ®
audio devices increases while
Bluetooth® is connected. y If a general mobile phone device is
USB connected during music playback
over the Bluetooth
® connection, the
Bluetooth® connection is disconnected.
For this reason, you cannot have music
playback over a Bluetooth
® connection
and music playback using a USB
connection at the same time.
 y  The system may not operate normally
depending on the Bluetooth ® audio
device.
How to Use the Bluetooth ® Audio
System
Switching to Bluetooth ® audio mode
To listen to music or voice audio recorded
to a Bluetooth
® audio device, switch to
the Bluetooth ® audio mode to operate
the audio device using the audio system
control panel. Any Bluetooth

device must be paired to the vehicle's
Bluetooth
® unit before it can be used.
Refer to Bluetooth ® Preparation (Type A)
on page 5-76 .
1. Turn on the Bluetooth
® audio device's
power.
2. Switch the ignition to ACC or ON.
Make sure that the “

displayed in the audio display. The
symbol is not displayed if an un-paired
Bluetooth
® audio device is being used
or the vehicle's Bluetooth ® unit has a
malfunction.
NOTE
Some Bluetooth ® audio devices need a
certain amount of time before the “
