iPod optimization
To optimise the connection of your iPod with the Infotainment system
you should carry out the following
simple operations on your iPod:
■ Configure the iPod for use as an external disc. Refer to the iPod user
manual
■ If the configuration has been made on an Apple computer, configure it
on a Windows personal computer
■ Save the music tracks as audio files
compatible with the Infotainment
system
These operations will not
compromise the sound quality or
usability of the iPod tracks.
