Honda Music Link

Designed specifically for Honda vehicles, Honda Music
Link allows you to play music from your Apple

®

iPod

®

on

your vehicle's audio system. Music Link connects your
iPod directly to your vehicle's audio system for the best
sound-quality results. (It does not convert music from
your iPod to an FM radio signal to use your vehicle's
radio to play music.) Once connected, Music Link allows
you to use the audio system's controls to play and search
for music from an iPod, and it charges your iPod battery.

To get started using Music Link quickly,

see the

Using Music Link Without Honda TTS* section

of this

guide or the Quick Reference Guide. Both will show you
how to connect your iPod, play music (either shuffle songs
or shuffle albums), and skip to the next song or album.

To get the most out of Music Link,

first install the

Honda TTS software application provided on the Honda
Music Link CD. (See 

Using Music Link With Honda

TTS

.) Honda TTS is an optional software that installs on

the Mac or PC you use with your iPod. It provides voice
prompts to help you find music on your iPod, and it
allows you to shuffle songs, shuffle albums, seek/skip to
the next song or album, and search playlists, artists,
albums, and genres.

NOTE:

Honda TTS is not required to operate Music Link.
