iPod buttons.

1. HYBRID MODE, DIRECT MODE AND AUX. OPTION

The PA11-FVW provides two ways to control your iPod through the car radio, namely Hybrid Mode
and Direct Mode.
1. DIRECT MODE: Search and select music on the iPod directly just as you would in portable use.
Music will playback through your car stereo. You may also use the track up/down, fast forward and
reverse buttons on your radio or steering wheel to control music playback. All control functions on
the iPod will still be available for direct control using the iPod buttons. Please see section 4 of this
manual for additional information.
2. HYBRID MODE: Operate and control the iPod as if it was a CD Changer. This mode allows you to
access up to five playlist on the iPod. The instructions for playlist creation and playback controls are
available later on in this manual. Additionally, while in Hybrid Mode, the keypads and the display on
the iPod function as if it was in Direct Mode or in portable use.
If the playback of a Playlist is manually interrupted by using the iPod's key pad, and a song or
music in a new category is played, the interface module memorizes the last played track number of
the new category. "New category" means file, or folder, or playlist, or artist etc. which is different
from the Playlist being played. When you return to the same DISC on the radio the interface module
will use the "memorized" track number (note: just the track number, not the last played song in the
new category) to playback the Playlist related to this DISC.
