UCI supports Mini, 4G, Photo, Nano, 5G iPod and
iPhone devices. Some iPod 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 iPod to this
port does not play the media. For playing an iPod ,
use the separate 16–pin connector port (in the glove
compartment on some vehicles).
• Connecting an iPod 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 iPod
Use the provided connection cable to connect an iPod to
the vehicle’s 16–pin connector port (which is located in
the glove compartment on some vehicles). Once the
iPod is connected and synchronized to the vehicle’s UCI system (iPod may take a few seconds to connect), the
iPod starts charging and is ready for use by pressing
radio switches, as described below.
NOTE:
• It may be necessary to remove the connector pin
protection cap from the 16–pin connector port, prior to
connecting the cable.
• If the iPod battery is completely discharged, it may
not communicate with the UCI system until a mini-
mum charge is attained. Leaving the iPod connected
to the UCI system may charge it to the required level.
Using This Feature
By using the provided connection cable to connect an
iPod to the vehicle’s UCI 16–pin connector port:
• The iPod audio can be played on the vehicle’s sound
system, providing metadata (artist, track title, album,
etc.) information on the radio display.236 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
