if you are unsure how to do so. When the CD changer is selected,  
it will engage the iPod and the first track from the first playlist  
on your iPod will start playing.

Changing Playlists

Your iPod playlists correspond to the number of discs your CD changer 
controls can manage. For example, “Disc 1” is playlist 1 on your iPod, 
“Disc 4” is playlist 4 on your iPod and so on. Simply change discs to 
change the playlists you want to access. Your car stereo will display 
which disc you currently have selected.

Moving Through Tracks in a Playlist

From here, iCruze acts just like a CD changer. The track up and down 
buttons move through tracks, just like they would with a CD. Your car 
stereo will indicate the track number. If you have the optional iCruze 
LCD display, Song Name and Artist info will be displayed as well.

Fast Forward and Rewind – QuickCruze

TM

 Feature 

If your stereo has a fast forward and rewind function (separate buttons 
or by holding the track forward/back button), with iCruze these now 
become plus or minus 10 track skip buttons. For example, to get from 
track 13 to track 33 in a playlist quickly, two presses of the fast forward 
button is all it takes. Same in reverse. Fast forward and rewind while 
listening to a song is disabled. Depending on your factory unit,  
you may need to press the button once or hold it for a few seconds.

Shuffle/Random/Mix

This feature is supported with iCruze. If you hit this button on your 
car stereo, the iPod will go into shuffle mode. Depending on your car 
stereo, you may need to select “Shuffle-All” if shuffle is not engaged 

quickly. Because of how your iPod operates, only 99 songs will  
be shuffled and their track numbers will not be displayed correctly. 

For example, when “Shuffle” is selected, the car stereo display will go 
back to track 1 no matter what track it was on previously. The next 
song selected will show track 2, then 3, etc. The actual track numbers 
(13, 77, 43 for example) will not be displayed. To see the actual track 
number, undo shuffle mode selection. 

Shuffle mode will also only work inside the currently selected playlist.  
If you want a different playlist, turn off shuffle, change to that playlist 
and engage shuffle again. If you want all the songs on the iPod  
to be shuffled, you will need to create a playlist with all the songs  
and the select shuffle mode while that playlist is selected. 

Certain Functionality Limitations

It’s important to understand that if your car stereo supports a feature 
like shuffle, iCruze also supports it and tells the iPod what to do. 
However, if your car stereo does not have a feature such as shuffle, 
then shuffle will not work even though the iPod offers shuffle. 
Because the feature is not available through your car stereo controls, 
there’s no way to communicate it to the iCruze and iPod. If you’re 
unsure about a feature, first read your vehicle owner’s/car stereo 
manual to see if it’s supported with your CD changer controls.
