USA SPECS PA11-VETTE User manual

Dear Customers,
The Pla-ylist Mode of USA SPEC iPod interfaces has been replaced by Hybrid Mod.
Hybrid
Mode combines the advantages ofbo'th PlayJist Mode and Direct Mod~;
therefore USA SPEC iPod interface delivers anew level of convenience to use your
iPod in car.
SAFETY NOTE: AL WAYS give full attention to driving. Do not operate iPod in
such away that will distract you while you are driving.
•
In Hybrid Mode, the songs on iPodare accessed exactly in the same way as in the
Playlist Mode been explained
in the owner's manual. But, iPod screen is NOT
locked to "ok to disconnect" and iPod control keys are also fully functional.
Therefore, while playing your iPod
at any DISC location of radio, you can
manually change song, change artist, change album, fast forward, fast reverse, etc.
through the keys on iPod.
•
If the playback of aPlaylist is manually I'interrupted" through iPod' skey pad'and
asong or music in a
"new category" is played, the interface module memorizes
.the lastplayed track number
of the "newcategory". I'New category" means
folders; or Playlsit, or artist,
etc. which is different from the Playlist being played·,
When you return to the Same DISCon radio later, the interface module will use
the
"memQriz~d" track number (note: just the track number, not the last played
song
in the new category) to playback the Playlist related to this DISC.
•Hybrid Mode is selected
by setting the DIP switch #2 on interface module to ON
position.
•When iPod
is connected to interface module, the iPod will take appto)timately 30
seconds to complete its external control mode configuration. During this period of
time, the'iPod screen's.display will continue change until the configuration is
completed.
•The
numberof Playlist being supported and all other functions, including the
naming
of Playlsits for Hybrid Mode are the same as in Playlist Mode.
•
In Hybrid Mode, you can fast forward and fast reverse the music with the fast
forward
and fast reverse buttons on your radio.
•
For those USA SPEC iPod interface products which support TEXT display on
radio, the
TEXT display feature is continue supported.
•03 iPod is not compatible with Hybrid Mode. 03 iPods will be in Play/ist mode
when DIP switch
#2 is at ON position.
•The operation of Direct Mode remains unchanged.

translates commands from GM XM band controls into commands that the iPod
understands. This interface enables the iPod to co-exist with the GM CD changer,
Navigation system, XM radio receiver, DVD system, and
ON-Star, and provides the following benefits:
• Directs the iPod's audio output to GM vehicle audio system for optimal sound quality
playback.
• Controls the iPod via vehicle's radio and steering wheel controls.
• Charges the iPod's internal battery, and charging stops automatically at approximately
one hour after the iPod is paused. iPod will go to sleep mode when charging stops.

radio for controlling iPod and AUX. Your GM radio has to be a XM-Ready radio for this
adaptor to work properly. Setting and using these controls for your auxiliary inputs

•If your vehicle has a factory installed XM receiver, set both DIP switch #3 and DIP
switch #4 to the "OFF" position. The XM1 will become iPod and AUX control and
XM2 band remains for XM radio reception.
• Access and control your iPod and AUX with the "BAND" button on radio.
Press "BAND" button until "XM1" is displayed on radio. Press "Preset 5" key for
Playlist (or, disc number) change and AUX access.
1-2-2. Usina the XM band control without a GM satellite receiver:
