Playing an iPod (EX-L model with navigation system)

To Play an iPod

This audio system can select and play the audio files on the iPod with the same controls used for the indash disc player. To play an iPod, connect it to the USB adapter cable in the upper glove box by using your dock connector. Press the AUDIO button beside the screen to show the audio display and touch the AUX icon. The ignition switch must be in the ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) position. The iPod will also be recharged with the ignition switch in these positions.

The audio system reads and plays playable sound files on the iPod. The system cannot operate an iPod as a mass storage device. The system will only play songs stored on the iPod with iTunes.
