To connect and control the iPod, connect one end
of the special iPod connection cable to the iPod’s dock
connector. Connect the other end to both the USB port
and the auxiliary input jack. The USB port and the
auxiliary input jack are located in the center console bin.
If the vehicle is on and the USB connection works,
a GM logo may appear on the iPod. The iPod’s music
information will be shown on the radio’s display and the
music begins playing through the vehicles audio system.
A standard iPod USB cable, like the one that came with
the iPod, cannot be used to connect an iPod to the
vehicle. You must use the special iPod connection cable
that came equipped with the vehicle or that was made
available from your dealer/retailer in order for this
feature to work.
Use the radio Menu/Select knob to bring up the iPod
Menu and select Songs, Artists, Albums, Playlists
and Audio books to play from the iPod.
The iPod’s battery charges while it is connected to the
vehicle and if the ignition is turned to ACC/ACCESSORY
or ON/RUN. It can also be left connected to the vehicle
after the vehicle is turned off. With the vehicle turned off,
the iPod will automatically be powered off and will not
charge or draw power from the vehicle’s battery.
If you have an older iPod model that is not supported or
do not have the special iPod connection cable, you can
still listen to the iPod in the vehicle by connecting it to the
Auxiliary Input Jack using a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 inch)
stereo cable. Command and control of the iPod via the
radio buttons and knobs will not be supported when only
using the Auxiliary Input Jack. See “Using the Auxiliary
Input Jack” earlier for more information.
Press the AM/FM, XM or HDD buttons to listen to one
of these sources while an iPod is connected. If a disc
is inserted, press the CD/AUX button to listen to a CD or
DVD-A disc. Press the CD/AUX button again to start
playing and controlling the connected iPod.
To properly dismount the iPod USB device before
disconnecting from the vehicle, press the button directly
under the EJECT label found on the iPod playback
screen.
