iPod interface*General notes
The iPod interface can be used to connect an iPod to your in-
car entertainment system and allows you to play audio files 
directly over the car's sound system.The iPod interface is located in your vehicle's glove box. It is compatible with 
3rd generation or higher iPod
6) devices (made from about 2003 onwards), 
with the exception of the iPod Shuffle.
The iPod is controlled using the CD function  ⇒page 24.
•The sound 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. If you select an artist, a track, an album or a 
podcast before connecting the iPod, your selection will be kept until you 
change CD.
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and genre, or the 
name of a playlist, does not appear on the sound 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.Choosing the adapter
The iPod interface is supplied with a choice of adapters for 
connecting your iPod.iPods come in different sizes. Therefore, you will need to match the iPod inter-
face  ⇒fig. 9    to your iPod using one of the adapters supplied. You will 
need two adapters for certain iPod models (touch, 5G (video), classic).
