Using Acura Music Link Without Acura TTS 

(Continued)

Playing Music 

1. Connect the iPod (see 

page 6

), turn the ignition

switch to the ON (II) or ACC (I) position, and turn on
the audio system.

2. Select Acura Music Link (

see

 page 8

). If the audio

system plays the XM radio or a disc in the CD
player/changer, press the CD button (or the
appropriate button) again. Acura Music Link begins
playback with the last song played on the iPod. If no
song is queued, Acura Music Link shuffles all songs in
random order.

Selecting a Play Mode

To shuffle the albums

on your iPod in random order,

scroll to 

Disc 5

, then press and hold either SEEK/SKIP

button ( /– or  /+) for at least 1 full second (or, on
some models, until you hear a beep).

– Press and release the SEEK/SKIP button to skip to

the next song ( /+) or to the beginning of the song
currently playing ( /–) within an album.

– Press and hold either SEEK/SKIP button ( /– or

/+) for at least 1 full second (or, on some models,

until you hear a beep) to skip to the beginning of
another album.

Pressing and holding the SEEK/SKIP ( /–) button
will not skip to the previously played album. Acura
Music Link continues to shuffle albums in random
order whether you press and hold the forward ( /+)
or backward ( /–) SEEK/SKIP button.

In 

shuffle albums

mode (Disc 5), Acura Music Link

only plays songs that have album information
entered in the info tags. If none of the songs on an
iPod have album information, all of the songs are
treated as one album. See Info Tags on 

page 10

for

more information. 

To shuffle all songs

in random order, scroll to 

Disc 6

,

then press and hold either SEEK/SKIP button ( /– or

/+) for at least 1 full second (or, on some models,

until you hear a beep). After selecting Disc 6, press
and release the SEEK/SKIP button to skip to the next
song ( /+) or to the beginning of the song currently
playing ( /–).
