PAGE 05 BEFORE YOU START
Before You Start
This interface is designed for use with iPod 4th and 5th
generation (including video models), iPod photo, iPod
mini, and iPod nano 1st and 2nd generation units. This
unit allows audio to be routed through the vehical head
unit, and will allow access to music les stored on your
iPod directly through the head unit.
It is highly recommended that your iPod has the latest
version of operating software installed in order to acheive
the best results. This software can be obtained from:
apple.com/itunes
If the vehicle has an existing CD Changer, this interface
replaces the functionality of the existing CD Changer. The
CD Changer does not need to be removed, however it will
no longer operate as part of the factory audio system in
particular vehicles.
This manual has been designed solely for the purpose of
assisting a user to operate the iPod functionality. If you
require information relating specically to your vehicle or
the operation of other electronics systems in the vehicle,
please consult your vehicle user manual or local dealer.

PAGE 07 OPERATING THE IPOD
Plug in and charge the iPod
Plug the mObridge dock connector into the base of your
iPod. The dock connector inserts into the iPod with the
icon facing up as shown below.
Once the iPod has been connected it will begin to charge
and all functions will be transfered to the head unit. iPod
functions will no longer be accesible directly from the iPod.
The iPod will charge whenever the audio system is in use
and will stop charging whenever the vehicle’s electrical
system shuts down.
Operating the iPod
It is important to remember that the iPod replaces the
function of the CD Changer and therefore must be
expected to operate in a very similar way. If the vehicle
has an existing CD Changer, it will be replaced by the iPod
and the CD Changer will no longer operate as part of the
factory audio system.
To begin operating the iPod, Push the CD button on the head
unit. Allow a few seconds for the Head unit to recognise the
iPod as the CD Changer. Once the iPod has loaded and is
ready for use, the system will automatically play the rst
track of the rst playlist on the iPod (see gure 01). You will
note that the top of the display reads “Audio CD Changer”,
conrming that the head unit is in CD Changer mode.
