This document is a scanned page of product packaging/literature for the USA-SPEC PA11-FORD1 iPod interface, an adapter that connects an iPod to factory Ford car audio systems. The page explains feature notes: a Hybrid Mode that lets playlists and songs be accessed via the radio's CD DISC buttons or the iPod's click wheel (with a note that iPod Touch, iPhone, iPod classic firmware 1.1+, iPod nano firmware 1.1+, and iPod video firmware 1.2.3+ are not compatible with Hybrid Mode); playlist retention when switching between portable and in-car use; iPod battery charging while playing (charging ends one hour after the iPod is paused to prevent car battery drain); and an Aux Input jack for a DVD player, satellite radio, or other audio device. A wiring diagram shows the interface box connecting between the car radio (TO RADIO), the iPod (TO iPod), and L/R RCA aux inputs for a DVD player or satellite receiver.
