Mode to reduce audio interference?” and the
options “Yes” or “No”. Select “No” as this
message is not relevant, as the Solisto has no
problems caused by audio interference related to
the GSM/UMTS/WIFI functionality of the iPhone.

How to use the iPod
The Solisto simulates a CD changer that is con-
nected to the head unit. On the iPod, the playlists
“CD1“, “CD2“ etc. correspond to the CDs that usu-
ally reside in the slots of the CD changer. Depending
on the car stereo, up to ten playlists are supported.
The naming of the playlists must be done exactly as
stated, “CD 1” or “Disk 1” would not work. If one or
more of those playlists do not exist, the car stereo
will think that the respective slots of the “CD chan-
ger“ are empty.
The first 99 songs of each playlist are recognised by
the Solisto and can be controlled with the control
elements of the car stereo. Fast forward and rewind,
random play and scan mode are supported. Most
of the Becker head units will show the information
about the currently played title on their display. The
iPod’s battery is charged while the iPod is connected
to the head unit and the head unit is switched on.
In case no playlist “CD6” exists, the virtual “CD6”
would be reserved for the “Direct Access Mode”.

Direct Access Mode
Controlling an iPod through the head unit is conve-
nient and especially advisable when driving; but as
this limits the number of accessible songs we have
introduced the “Direct Access Mode. Direct Access
Mode lets you access any song, playlist, album etc.
on the iPod, using the iPod controls. To use Direct
Access Mode: do not create the playlist „CD6“.
Selecting this virtual CD on the head unit will then
hand over control of the iPod to the iPod itself. The
iPod will still obtain its power from the Solisto, but is
controlled in the normal way.
If you want to return to the playlists controlled by the
head unit simply select the corresponding virtual CD
on the head unit and the iPod will give back control
to the Solisto.

Special Behaviour Of The iPhone
When the iPhone receives a phone call during play-
back, the music will pause, the normal ring tone
will sound and the phone call can be accepted the
normal way. Ring tone and conversation will not be
sent to the Solisto.
While in Direct Access Mode, any sound of from
the iPhone can be played through the Solisto, e.g.
YouTube videos. Only exceptions are ring tones and
phone conversations.

Problems?
Q
Are the playlists named correctly? They need
to be named “CD1“, “CD2“ etc. and up to
“CD10” depending on the model of the car
stereo. “CD 1” or “Disk 1” would not work.
The Solisto ignores all other playlists.

Getting Started
The USB connection of the Solisto presents the
correctly named playlists and directories to the
car stereo as “virtual CDs” of a CD changer. E.g.
if “CD3” is selected at the car stereo, the Solisto
will play the music files from the playlist or directory
named accordingly (directory: “CD3”; playlist: “cd3.
m3u”). Generally, the using the playlists is much
more powerful, but the methodology of using spe-
cially named directories is still supported as it is of
advantage in some cases. Playlists and directories
can be used at the same time. If there is a playlist
