CONNECTING & PLAYINGTHE iPod IN HYBRID MODE
Connecting the iPod
Turn your VW radio ON before connecting your iPod. After connection, the iPod will take a few minutes
to change to external control mode. The iPod screen will then show:
Selecting iPod Mode on VW Radio
Press the “CD” button repeatedly until “CD 6-x” appears on the display (x is the track number for the
“Now Playing” song on iPod). This display confirms that iPod mode has been completely synchronized
and active. Synchronization timing varies according to the number of playlist on your iPod. If the iPod
was playing previous to turning the Radio’s ACC power OFF, and the iPod was not disconnected,
playback resumes from where it stopped.
Disconnecting iPod from the interface
If the iPod is disconnected during playback in iPod mode, the radio will automatically switch to AM/FM
mode. After disconnecting, wait until the iPod screen changes from the External Control Mode screen
back to the normal menu before attempting to reconnect to the interface.
Tip: If you press and hold the PLAY/PAUSE button on the iPod, you may get the normal iPod menu
back faster.
Playing songs on the iPod
All audio tracks on your iPod will be played at DISC 6 if the AUX option is not selected. Track order is
determined by the default order on your iPod. Selecting DISC 1 to DISC 5 on radio will allow playback
of 5 playlist on the iPod if adapter’ AUX option is not selected. Every time the iPod is connected to the
interface, playback begins at the “Now Playing” song at DISC 6 by default.
If the iPod was playing any of its playlist right before connection, the same playlist will continue to play
and repeated at DISC 6 and the iPod switches to “ALL” when the FF (
►►
) button is pressed.
Selecting a Playlist
Press DISC selection button on the radio to select a playlist. The selected playlist will begin playing and
the playlist number and track number will be displayed. In rare cases, this may take up to a few
seconds to complete synchronization. After playing the last song in the current playlist, playback will
start again from the first track on this playlist.
PLAYLIST NAMING
Once the iPod™ or iPod™ mini is connected to your VW radio via the PA11-VW6, the iPod interface
scans all available playlist on the iPod and looks for designated “VW” playlist which are created for
direct access with the DISC buttons on the Volkswagen radio. The designated "VW" playlist relate to
the DISC number in the following manner:
Preset #’s
