USA SPEC (PA11-VW6) iPod to Factory Radio Interface for 1998-2007 Volkswagen with Auxiliary Audio Input
The PA11 series iPod interfaces provide direct connection for an iPod plus an optional audio source such as satellite radio, DVD, or video game system. Both the iPod and the additional audio source are selected from the factory radioâ?TMs front panel. The interface adapter connects the iPod to your factory radio as if it were a CD changer, allowing direct selection of iPod playlists through the radio preset (or disc) buttons and is compatible with iPod models featuring the dock connector, including the iPod nano and 5G iPod video. There are two operating modes available for the interface, Playlist Mode and Direct Mode. Playlist Mode uses the controls on the factory radio to provide basic navigation functions including song up/down, playlist up/down, repeat, shuffle, scan, and FF/REW functions. Direct Mode uses the iPod's click wheel to navigate through the iPod's menus and select songs, artists, playlists, etc. and the radio buttons are used only for volume, bass and treble. Both modes still charge the iPod while connected, and stops one hour after the iPod is paused to prevent over-charging. Note: Display of artist and song title information, track search by artist, song title, album or genre are NOT supported. Only the Playlist and track numbers are displayed.Applications:Cabrio - 1998-2004Beetle - 1998-2007Beetle Convertible - 2003-2007EuroVan - 2001-2004Golf - 1998-2006GTI - 1998-2007Jetta - 1998-2007Passat - 1998-2007Rabbit - 2006-2007Touareg - 2004-2007Special Note: PA11VW6 replaces the older PA11VW and IS compatible with vehicles equipped with Satellite radio tuner but NOT with vehicles featuring factory DVD, or CD changer.
