USB Background Recording
If the content of a USB device is chosen to be copied,
these media files are copied to the hard drive. The
recording process occurs in the background and does
not affect playback from any source, including the
USB device itself. The quality of the listening experience
should be the same whether recording in the
background or not, and the speed of the recording
process does not take any longer than normal.
Timeshift cannot be activated during the background
recording function.
Using the Radio Controls to Connect and
Control Your iPod
®
An iPod can be controlled using the radio buttons and
knobs and display your iPod song information on
the radio’s display. To connect and control an iPod using
the radio controls, the vehicle must have a USB port.
If it does, it is located in the center console bin. A special
iPod connection cable is needed that can be purchased
with the vehicle or may be available after, from your
dealer/retailer. See your dealer/retailer for more
information.
This feature supports the following iPod models:
• Fifth generation or later iPod
• First or Second generation or later iPod Nano*
* For proper operation, make sure the iPod has the
latest firmware from Apple
®
. The iPod firmware
can be updated using the latest iTunes application.
See apple.com/itunes.
To connect and control the iPod, connect one end of
the specially purchased iPod connection cable to
the iPod’s dock connector. Connect the other end to
both the USB port and the auxiliary input jack. The USB
port and the auxiliary input jack are located in the
center console bin. If the vehicle is on and the USB
connection works, a GM logo appears on the iPod.
The iPod music displays on the radio’s display
and begins playing through the vehicle’s radio system.
A standard iPod USB cable, like the one that came with
the iPod, cannot be used to connect an iPod to the
vehicle. The iPod connection cable that was purchased
with the vehicle or that was made available from your
dealer/retailer must be used in order for this feature
to work.
