This interface connects an
iPod
directly
to
your GM audio system. Its on-board software translates
commands from either your
GM
CD changer controls or XM band controls into commands that
the
iPod
understands. This interface enables the
iPod
to
co-exist with the GM Navigation system,
CD changer, 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 one hour after the
iPod
is
paused.
e

1-2 This interface adapter
is
designed to use either the
CD
changer control or the
XM

,
PAll-GM
provides two ways
to
control your
iPod
through the car radio, namely Hybrid Mode
and Direct Mode.
DIP switch #2
is
for mode selection use.
"ON"
position
is
for Hybrid Mode and
"OFF"
position
is for Direct Mode.
2-1
Direct Mode: 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. All control functions on
iPod
are
available to use too. Please see Section 4
of
this manual for additional information.
2-2 Hybird Mode: This mode allows you
to
access up
to
5playlists
on
the
iPod
from the radio.
The instructions for playlist creation and playback controls are in Section 5
of
this manual.
Additionally, while in Hybrid Mode, the keypads and the display on the
iPod
function
as ifit were in Direct Mode
or
in portable use.

•
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
connected to 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
to
change until the configuration
is
completed.
•While in Hybrid Mode, you can also fast forward and fast reverse the music track with the
fast forward and fast reverse buttons on your radio.
•iTouch, iPhone and
G3
ipod do
NOT
work in Hybrid Mode. When this interface module
is set to Hybrid Mode the iPod's screen will only display "ok to disconnect" or "Attached
to
accessory" and
iPod
's keypad will not function. These
iPods
will be operated and controlled
just
like it
is
aCD changer. The radio can access 5Playlists on
iPoq
please reference
to
section 5
of
this manual for Playlists creation.However, these iPods

DISC
1:
GMl...
DISC
2:
GM2 .
DISC 3: GM3 .
