Connecting The iPod

Use the provided connection cable to connect an iPod

௡ to

the vehicle’s 16–pin connector port (which is located in

protection cap from the 16–pin connector port, prior to

mum charge is attained. Leaving the iPod

௡ connected

to the UCI system may charge it to the required level.

Play, Browse, and List the iPod

௡ contents.
