Installation of iPod to interface
Note: For best synchronization between iPod and
radio, radio and iPod should both be ON.
1.
Press the AUX button on the OEM radio to get to SAT1
mode.
2.
Connect the routed 4-foot dock cable to the iPod. A
symbol showing your battery is being charged will show
next to the battery indicator.
3.
Wait a few seconds while the iPod interface searches
for all the playlist(s). Searching time may vary
depending on the number of playlist(s).
4.
After connecting the iPod, the iPod will begin to play
and will show an “OK to disconnect” message. This
message means the iPod is in external control mode
and proper synchronization is complete.
NOTE: If this “OK to disconnect” does not appear
and / or the iPod does not begin to play within 5-10
seconds, please disconnect the iPod and recheck your
connections.
iPod Playback functions
The control functions for the iPod using the OEM radio’s
satellite radio controls are similar to those used on the iPod
itself. Due to certain radio limitations, there are some
differences in how the iPod information is accessed and /
or displayed through the OEM radio.
The following describes how to control the iPod from the
OEM radio, and any similarity to the iPod’s controls or
buttons has been noted.
Listening to your iPod
Once you are in SAT1 mode and the iPod is connected to
the dock cable, the iPod will begin playing the song that it
was currently at before it was connected. After the radio
displays IPOD HEAD

PLAYLISTS,
the current song title and elapsed time will be displayed (up
to 12 characters). At this point the radio is in ‘IPOD HEAD’
mode and all controls are done through the satellite radio
control buttons on the Ford radio.
Pressing the AUX button a second time will display “SAT2”.
This is the ‘REMOTE MODE’ and will restore the iPod
screen and controls while still allowing limited control
through the radio. “SAT3” will switch control back to the
radio and is the same as “SAT1”.
