Introduction
The iPod interface can be used to connect an iPod to your
in-car infotainment system and allows you to play audio
files directly over the infotainment system.
The iPod interface is located in your car's glove box. It is compatible
with 3rd generation or higher iPod1) devices (made from about 2003
onwards), with the exception of the iPod Shuffle and the iPhone.
The iPod is controlled using the CD function of the infotainment
system (sound system or navigation system).
The infotainment system allocates the playlists on the iPod first in
numerical order and then in alphabetical order, as follows:
•
Chorus / concert sound system, Navigation System BNS 5.0:
allocation as CD 1 to CD 5
•
Symphony sound system: allocation as CD 7 to CD 11
The easiest way to use playlists on the car's entertainment system is
to create five playlists on the iPod (e.g. 1 to 5).
All the tracks on the iPod will be played as follows even if they are
stored in different playlists:
•
Chorus / concert sound system, Navigation System BNS 5.0: via
CD 6
•
Symphony sound system: via CD 12
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and
genre, or the name of a playlist, does not appear on the infotainment
system display.

WARNING
•
Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, operate the iPod only when the
traffic conditions allow you to do so safely and when you can
maintain proper control of your vehicle - risk of accident!
•
The volume of the audio sources (radio, CD player, etc.) should
only be set at a level which enables you to hear distant police and
emergency vehicles clearly - failure to do so could result in an accident.
Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a car's
interior) can cause damage to the iPod and/or impair its performance.
• Please do not leave your iPod in the vehicle in case of extreme
temperatures.
Note
Please refer to the iPod operating instructions for important information on how to use your iPod.

For more information on which adapters can be used, see the
Internet (e.g. www.audi.com).
Inserting the iPod in the iPod interface
– Switch on the infotainment system.
– With the display facing upwards and the contact towards
the front, slide the iPod into the bay until you feel it
engage. The iPod will switch on automatically and the
battery will be charged.
The iPod is operated just like a CD changer using the
controls on your car's infotainment system.
The following functions are available:
•
•
Play all tracks stored on the iPod
Select and play up to five playlists (just like selecting CD 1 to
5/CD 7 to 11 on a CD changer).
• Change between playlists (just like changing the CD on a CD
changer)
•
•
•
•
Fast forward/rewind within a track
Change tracks within a playlist
SCAN function
Shuffle function (random selection of tracks)
– If the infotainment system does not detect the iPod after
you insert it, please “reset” the iPod (refer to the iPod
operating instructions).
For more information on how to operate the system, please refer to
the “CD”/“CD/MP3” chapter in the operating manual for your infotainment system.
To start the iPod, press the CD / CD/MP3 button repeatedly.
Notes
The iPod is switched off automatically when you switch off the infotainment system or the ignition.
•
Note
To ensure optimum sound quality, you should activate the “Sound
Check” setting on the iPod and deactivate the “EQ” (equalizer) before
inserting the iPod (please refer to the iPod operating instructions).
•
The battery is charged with 5V. Older iPod devices with a 12V
connection (launched before 2005) cannot be charged.
•
Slight scoring marks may occur on the iPod when used with the
adapter.
Here are some tips and points to remember when using the iPod in
the car:
For all infotainment systems
• Track numbers appear with a maximum of two digits on the infotainment system display. The first digit is suppressed if you select a
track with a three-digit number, i.e. track 125 and track 25 are both
displayed as track “25”. For this reason we do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each playlist.
• If you reach the end of a playlist when selecting a track directly
(forward/reverse), the count is resumed at track “1”.
iPod interface
•
The track numbers are counted up sequentially on the infotainment system display when you play tracks in shuffle mode (MIX).
For Navigation System RNS-E2)
•
The navigation system's display always shows 99 tracks, even if
the playlist contains fewer tracks.
•
When selecting a track, we recommend you not to jump forward
or back more than 49 tracks at a time. If you jump further than this,
the iPod interface may not select the track you intended.
For Navigation System BNS 5.0
We recommend you not to use the “Name CD” function, as all the
playlists will then be allocated the same name.
