over the vehicle's sound system.The iPod interface is located in your vehicle's glove box. It is compatible with
3rd generation or higher iPod
2) devices (made from about 2003 onwards),

•The navigation system orders (first numerically and then alphabetically)
the playlists with the tracks stored in the iPod and then assigns them in the
sequence CD 1 to CD 5. For easier playing of these playlists through the
vehicle's sound system, we recommend you create five playlists (e.g. 1.... to
5....) in your iPod.•If you select CD 6, all the tracks on the iPod will be played even if they are
stored in different playlists.
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and genre, or the
name of a playlist, does not appear on the navigation system display.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a vehicle's inte-
rior) can cause damage to the iPod and/or impair its performance.•Please do not leave your iPod in the vehicle in case of extreme tempera-
tures.Note
Please refer to the iPod operating instructions for important information on
how to use your iPod.2)iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Computer Inc.
