iPod hierarchy
By default, the interface creates a Playlist having a name that is the same as the name
of the iPod. This Playlist is the very first on the list of Playlists shown while browsing in
Playlist mode. This Playlist contains all the songs on the iPod. Once a Playlist is active
an Artist may be selected within that Playlist using the Artist Mode. Albums by the
selected Artist and within the selected Playlist may be selected in Album Mode. "ALL
ARTIST" and "ALL ALBUM" designate all available content in those categories.

Installation
Installation should only be performed by a qualified professional. Beware of sharp edges to avoid injury and exercise
caution when removing trims as they may break. The module should be placed at an accessible location to allow AUX cable
to be connected, such as in the glove box, the center console or under the front seat.
1 Pull vehicle into service bay and access radio/center console.
2 Disconnect both battery terminals. These cables must be disconnected during installation to ensure proper initialization
of the module when it is connected.
3Before pulling out the radio, removing surrounding trims and screws. Most trims can be removed by carefully pulling on
the piece or using trim removal tools. Trim is usually held in place by snap-in clips.
4The radio is held in place by a few bolts. To remove these a 10mm socket is usually needed. Consult your dealership if
additional information is needed on removing the radio.

Toyota BUS connector
5a - Radios with large connector -You can access the CD changer connector located on the back of the radio. Unplug the
factory connection if present and plug the Toyota BUS connector into the receptacle. Plug the factory connection to
the cable receptacle if it was removed from the radio. The connector should securely lock.
The cable receptacle is only for cars where the steering wheel control was plugged into the radio. To operate the interface in CDC/MD mode
together with the factory CD Changer/MD Changer you need to obtain a Y cable (not included) from a Toyota dealership.
