ABOUT THE PA11-VW6 INTERFACE 

 
The PA11-VW6 interface connects the iPod directly to VW audio system and its on-board software 
translates commands from either your VW CD Changer controls into commands that the iPod 
understands. This interface enables the iPod to take place of a VW remotely mounted CD Changer and 
provides the following benefits: 

ƒ

  Direct connection of the iPod to VW vehicle audio system for optimum sound quality 

ƒ

  Control iPod playback with CD Changer buttons on car radio 

ƒ

  Direct access and control of up to 5 favorite playlist and/or direct control of the iPod using the 

iPod buttons. 

ƒ

  Charge the iPod internal battery --- and charging stops automatically at one hour after iPod is 

paused.  

ƒ

  Auxiliary audio input  [connect additional audio device (SAT radio, DVD Player, Game system 

etc) and listed to it on the factory system) 

ƒ

  Plug-n-play: includes installation cable, mounting screws and owner’s manual. 

ƒ

 

Retains factory SAT Radio.

switch #2 is set to “ON”. These iPod’s are fully compatible in Direct Mo

de.

1.

 

HYBRID MODE, DIRECT MODE AND AUX. OPTION     

 
The PA11-FVW provides two ways to control your iPod through the car radio, namely 

Hybrid Mode

 

and 

Direct Mode.

 

 
1. 

DIRECT MODE

: Search and select music on the iPod directly just as you would in portable use. 

Music will playback through your car stereo. You may also use the track up/down, fast forward and 
reverse buttons on your radio or steering wheel to control music playback. All control functions on 
the iPod will still be available for direct control using the iPod buttons. Please see section 4 of this 
manual for additional information. 

2. 

HYBRID MODE

: Operate and control the iPod as if it was a CD Changer. This mode allows you to 

access up to five playlist on the iPod. The instructions for playlist creation and playback controls are 
available later on in this manual. Additionally, while in Hybrid Mode, the keypads and the display on 
the iPod function as if it was in Direct Mode or in portable use. 
 
If the playback of a Playlist is manually interrupted by using the iPod’s key pad, and a song or 
music in a new 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 the radio 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.
