the following benefits:
•Directs the iPod's audio output to Toyota 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 chargingstops automatically at one hour after
iPod is
paused.

HYBRID MODE, DIRECT MODE and AUX OPTION
PA15-TOYprovides three ways to control your iPod through the car radio, namelyHybrid Mode
Playlist Mode and Direct Mode. Between Playlist Mode and Hybrid Mode, only one
of them will
be activated automatically by PA15-TOY depends on the model or type
of iPod
e

2-1 DirectMode: Search and select music on iPod directly just as you would in portable use.
The music will play back through your car stereo. Use the track up/down, fast forward, and
reverse buttons on your radio to control music playback. DISC #8 is dedicated to Direct Mode
use.Use your
iPod in Direct Mode by selecting DISC #8 with disc up or button on radio.
2-2 Hybird Mode: Operate and control the iPod like it is aCD changer. This mode allows you
to access up to six playlists on the
iPod. The instructions for playlist creation and playback
controls are in Section 5
of this manual. Additionally, while in Hybrid Mode, the key pads
on iPod can be operated directly as if it were in DirectMode.
2-3 Playlist Mode: Access the Playlists on iPod in the same way as it is in Hybrid Mode. However,
iPod's screen will only display
"OK to discnnect" or "Attached to accessory" and, iPod's keypads
are not function.
•
If the playback of aPlaylist is manually interrupted by using the iPod 's key pad, and asong
or music in anew category is played, the interface module memorizes the last played track
number
of the new category. "New category" means file, or folder, or Playlist, or artist, etc.
which is different from the Playlist being played. When you return to the same DISC
on radio
later, the interface module will use the "memorized" track number (note:
just the track number,
not the last played song in the new category) to playback the Playlist related to this DISC.
•When the
iPod is connectedto the interface module, the iPod will take approximately 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.
•
iTouch, iPhone and 03 iPods are NOT applicable to Hybrid Mode.
