COMPATIBILITY
The PA11-VW interface is compatible with iPod (G3, G4, G5) iPod Mini, Nano, Photo, Video, iPhone, Classic, Touch models featuring a dock connector. Please visit www.apple.com/iPod and update the firmware on your iPod.

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.

When the iPod is connected to the interface module, the ipod will take approximately 30 seconds to complete its external control mode configuration. During this period of time, the iPod screen display will continue to change until the configuration is completed. While in Hybrid Mode, you can also fast forward or fast reverse the music track with the fast forward and fast reverse button on your radio.

3. AUX ADDITIONAL “AUX INPUT OPTION” SELECTION
PA11-VW6 interface adapter is also capable of connecting an Auxiliary audio source to your VW radio, including the iPod. The additional audio source connects to the RCA input jack marked “AUX AUDIO INPUT”. If you choose to use the “AUX AUDIO INPUT”, DIP switch #1 at the side of the interface box must be set to the “OFF” position (it is preset to “ON” at factory). The audio source (XM radio, DVD player, MP3 Player, Game system etc.) connected to the “AUX AUDIO INPUT” can be accessed at CD 6 Track1 after selecting CD Changer mode on the VW radio.
CD 1 to CD4 are for accessing Playlist and CD 5 is for accessing all songs on the iPod.

4. AUXILIARY INPUT OPERATION
If the “AUX AUDIO INPUT” option is selected, the radio will display “CD 6 Track 1” when DISC 6 button is pressed. Use “CD 6 Track 1” to access the audio source connected the “AUX AUDIO INPUT” port. Adjust VOLUME, BASS, and TREBLE etc. as you would normally do for the other program sources on the radio.
