Section 1. ABOUT YOUR INTERFACE PA11-VOL
This interface connects an iPod directly to your Volvo audio system. Its on-board software translates commands from your Volvo CD changer controls into commands that the iPod understands. This interface enables the iPod to take the place of a Volvo CD changer and provides the following benefits:
• Directs the iPod's audio output to Volvo vehicle audio system for optimal sound quality playback.
• Controls the iPod via vehicle's radio and steering wheel controls.
• Charges the iPod 's internal battery, and charging stops automatically at one hour after iPod is paused.
Future firmware updates for your iPod may affect the features and functions described in this owner's manual.
e
Display of artist and song title information, track search by artist, song title, album or genre are NOT supported. Only the Playlist number and track number are displayed on radio.
This interface is designed as an alternative replacement to the Volvo 6 Disc CD changer unit in your
Volvo vehicle. Therefore it is not possible to have the Volvo 6 Disc CD Changer and PA 11VOL iPod interface simultaneously connected to your Volvo radio.

HYBRID MODE, DIRECT MODE and AUX OPTION

Playlist Mode and Direct Mode. Playlist Mode and Hybrid Mode share the same DIP switch setting (DIP # 2= ON) and only one of them will be operative depends on iPod model and its firmware version.
2-1 Direct Mode: Search and select music on iPod directly just as you would in portable use.
The music will play back through your car stereo. Use the track up/down, fast forward, and reverse buttons on your radio to control music playback. All control functions on iPod are available to use too. Please see Section 4 of this manual for additional information.
2-2 Playlist Mode: Operate and control the iPod like it is a CD changer. This mode allows you to access five playlists on iPod from radio. iPod screen always diaplay" OK to disconnect" or

e
2-3-1 Ifthe 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 radio later, 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.

Playlist naming
• When iPod is connected to your radio via PA 11-VOL interface adaptor, the adaptor scans all available Playlists on iPod and looks for designated VOL va
Playlists which are created for direct access with DISC buttons on Volvo radio. The designated VOLVO Playlists are related to DISC number in the following manner:
DISC 1: VOLVO 1...
DISC 2: VOLV02,..
DISC 3: VOLV03,..
DISC 4: VOLV04 ...
DISC 5: VOLV05,..
DISC 6: ALL SONGS on iPod
The naming of designated VOLVO Playlists in iTune for PA II-VOL interface must be exactly as shown. VOLVO must be in capital letters and there can be no spaces between VOLVO text and number.
However, you may add any text after the correct naming of a Playlist. (i.e. VOLVO I-Jazz,
VOLV03_Favorite3 are acceptable Playlist names for PAll-VOL iPod interface.)
• If no designated VOLVO Playlists are created, PA II-VOL adaptor automatically relates to the first five available Playlists on iPod to DISC number 1 to 5 regardless Playlist's naming.
• Ifless than five designated VOLVO Playlists are created, PAll-VOL adaptor automatically fills up the rest of DISC numbers beginning with the first available Playlist on iPod.
Example: if only three designated VOLV01, VOLV03 and VOLV05 Playlists are created, the disc number on radio will be:
DISC 1: VOLV01...
DISC 2: (l st available Playlsit on iPod)
DISC 3: VOLV03,..
DISC 4: (2 nd available Playlist on iPod )
DISC 5: VOLV05.,.
The iPod interface does not recognize a Playlists that contains no audio tracks regardless of Playlist naming. The iPod interface also does not recognize the "On-The-Go" Playlist on your iPod.
