Using the Radio Controls to Connect
and Control Your iPod
You can control your iPod using the radio buttons and
knobs and display your iPod song information on
the radio’s display. To connect and control your iPod
using the radio controls, your vehicle must have a USB
port. If it does, it is located in the center console bin.
You will also need a special iPod connection cable that
can be purchased with your vehicle or may be
available after, from your dealer/retailer. See your
dealer/retailer for more information.
This feature supports the following iPod models:
• Fifth generation or later iPod
• First or Second generation or later iPod Nano*
* For proper operation, make sure your iPod has the
latest firmware from Apple
® . Your iPod firmware can be
updated using the latest iTunes application. See
www.apple.com/itunes.
To connect and control your iPod, connect one end of the
specially purchased 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, you will
see a GM logo appear on your iPod. Your iPod music will
display on your radio’s display and begin playing through
your vehicle radio system.
A standard iPod USB cable, like the one that came with
your iPod, cannot be used to connect an iPod to your
vehicle. You must use the iPod connection cable
that was purchased with your 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 your iPod.
Your iPod will charge while it is connected to your
vehicle and if your vehicle is turned to
ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN. It can also be left
connected to your vehicle while the vehicle is turned off
or removed. 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 your iPod in your vehicle by connecting
it to the Auxiliary Input Jack using a standard 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) stereo cable. See “Using the Auxiliary
Input Jack” earlier for more information.
