In rare cases, this may take up to a few seconds to complete synchronization. After playing the last song in the current playlist, playback will start again from the first track on this playlist.
3-a Playlist Naming
Once the iPod™ or iPod™ mini is connected to your VOLVO radio via the PA11-VOL, the interface will scan all available playlist on the iPod for designated “VOLVO” playlists which are created for direct access with DISC buttons on the VOLVO radio. The designated “VOLVO” playlist are related to DISC numbers in the following manner:
Preset #’s Playlist(s) names
DISC1 VOLVO1
DISC2 VOLVO2
DISC3 VOLVO3
DISC4 VOLVO4
DISC5
DISC6
ALL SONGS or iPod Direct (See Design Change Notice below) iPod direct or RCA AUX (See Design Change Notice below)
Naming a playlist in iTune™ for your VOLVO iPod interface must be exactly as shown. VOLVO must be in
capital letters and there can be no spaces between VOLVO text and the “DISC” number. However, you may add any text after the correct name and number has been assigned. The following is an example of correct playlist naming with additional text:
DISC1
DISC2
VOLVO1-Jazz
VOLVO2_Reggae
DISC3 VOLVO3_Rock
DISC4 VOLVO4-Salsa
Note: If no designated “VOLVO” playlist were created, the PA11-VOL adapter automatically assigns the first five available playlist on the iPod to DISC 1 to DISC 5 regardless of playlist naming.
If less than five designated “VOLVO” playlist were created, the PA11-VOL adapter automatically fills up the rest of the DISC number beginning with the first available playlist on the iPod.
Example: If only three designated VOLVO1 , VOLVO3 and VOLVO5 playlists were created, the DISC numbers on the radio would be:
DISC1
DISC2
DISC3
DISC4
DISC5
VOLVO1
(1
(2 st
available playlist on the iPod)
VOLVO3 nd available playlist on the iPod)
VOLVO5
Note: The PA11-VOL does not recognize a playlist that contains no audio tracks regardless of playlist naming. The
PA11-VOL does not recognize the “On-The-Go” playlist on your iPod.

Press and hold the fast forward or fast reverse button for more than 4 seconds; the search will jump to the last track or the first track of the playlist. If you are in scan mode, the mode will be cancelled.
Fast Forward/Fast Reverse Play
This function applies only in RANDOM mode. Since engaging or disengaging the random mode does not stop playback of the current song, you must change into and out of Random mode to do the fast track search (x10) function, or the fast forward/fast backward play function.
Press and hold the fast forward or fast backward button will cause the current track to skip through at high speed. During fast forward, when the end of the current track is reached, the iPod will start playing the next random track at normal speed.
