Thank you for purchasing Peripheral Electronic’s® iPod2car Gen2 interface for
OEM radios. The iPod2car Gen2 OEM is designed to provide endless hours of
listening pleasure from your factory radio. To ensure that your iPod performs cor-
rectly with your radio, we recommend that you read this entire manual before at-
tempting installation of the iPod2car interface.

that has the ability to control an external Satellite tuner*. the iPod2car Gen2 oEM
is designed to be used with Generation 3, 4, Mini, Photo iPods, Nano and iPod
with Video.

* Not compatible with navigation equipped vehicles unless noted on Peripheral
Application Guide.
1.2 Precautions (Important, Please Read)

the most recent version of firmware from Apple. This is done on your computer.
Follow the directions on the website to complete the download. There is no charge
for this update.
PREVENTING DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR iPod.
Some installations require you to make wiring connections. To eliminate the risk
of an electrical short, we recommend disconnecting the vehicle’s battery prior to
installation. If you do not feel comfortable making these connections, we suggest

form you of any issues or circumstances that can affect the compatibility
of our product with your radio, audio system, or accessories. not all Fac-
tory radios are compatible with the iPod2car Gen2 oEM. the iPod2car
will only work on models equipped with the specifications listed below.
Please read and understand these notes before proceeding:
Radio Requirements
The operation of the iPod2car Gen2 OEM relies upon the radio’s ability
to display text, such as song title, playlist, or artist information from the
iPod. Most MP3 compatible radios are capable of displaying at least one
line of text information on the faceplate.
Ford

the faceplate of the radio. This indicates that the required connection is
present on the rear of the head unit and that the radio has the necessary
functionality to operate the iPod2car.

and the interface. You should have also purchased one of the following

Chapter 3- Operation
this chapter will explain how to control the iPod from your factory radio.
This will include selecting the iPod, searching for music with the browse
menu, and using the Fast Forward, Rewind, Repeat and Random func-
tions.
3.1 General Operation Overview
Fast Forward
When playing a track on the iPod if you want to advance further into the
song, use the FAST FORWARD feature. With the press of a button you will
be able to fast forward in the currently playing track to a specific part of the
song you want to listen to.
Rewind
If you are playing a song and want to listen to a part of it that has already
played you can use the REWIND feature to back up through the song. This
is helpful if you missed some of the lyrics and want to hear them again.
Display options
After using the fast-forward or rewind feature, the radio will display the
elapsed time of the current track, this is useful if you are looking for a
particular part of the song. When you are done using the fast forward or
rewind feature, if you want to see the track title again, you can toggle the
display information to read the track title.
Repeat
To hear a song again, use the repeat feature to automatically repeat the
last track played instead of playing the next track. Press the repeat button
until the display shows “rPt onE”. this will make the current track repeat
when it finishes playing. To resume normal track advance press the repeat
button until the radio displays “rPt oFF”.
Random
If you enjoy the shuffle feature of the iPod, you can use our shuffle feature
in any playlist or album. Press the random or shuffle button on your radio
until the display shows “SHF SONG”. This will make the iPod choose a
song at random from the current album or playlist. To turn the shuffle fea-
ture off so that your iPod plays the tracks in their original order, press the
random or shuffle button until the radio shows “SHF OFF”.

Browse Menu Flow Chart
5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Browsing
The iPod2carGen2 OEM allows you to search for files on the iPod with
its BROWSE Menu. The BROWSE menu consists of 4 categories. These
categories are Artist, Album, Genre and Playlist.
The Browse feature works the same as the iPod. All searches begin when
you enter the Browse Menu and end with the song selection. You auto-
matically exit the browse menu when the song begins to play.
When navigating through the browse menu, if you make a selection that
you did not mean to make or you simply decide you want to make a dif-
ferent selection, you can use the MEnU UP feature to move back up to
the last folder in the browse menu. For example if you were searching by
artist, after you choose the artist you will move down a folder to choose
the album from the selected artist. If you accidentally choose the wrong
album, you can use the menu up feature to move back up a folder and
choose the correct album, without having to leave the browse menu.
If you enter the browse menu and decide not to change the track you
are listening to, using the MENU EXIT feature will allow you to leave the
browse menu without affecting the song that is currently playing.
While browsing, you may encounter a folder that will not allow you to
change the selection within that folder using the forward or back buttons.
this is because the currently displayed item is the only option in that par-
ticular folder.
If the radio displays “All” when you select a folder in the browse menu,
this gives you the option to select all the files in that specific folder. Often
this option will be displayed when there are tracks that do not have de-
fined artist or album information. For example after you select an artist
you will move down a folder to the album folder. If the tracks by that artist
do not have album information, the album folder may simply display “All”.
Selecting “ALL” will allow you to move down to the next folder to select a
song.
Browsing by Artist
When you choose to browse by an artist, your radio will display the names
of the artists on your iPod. After the desired artist has been selected, the
radio will display the Albums from the selected artist. once the Album has
been selected, the tracks from that album will be displayed on the radio.

radio will display the names of the artist from the selected Genre on your

Albums from the selected artist. once the Album has been selected, the
