Display: The
information stored on your iPod can be displayed on the compatible Pioneer
head unit, including song title, artist name, and album title.
Search Functions:
Just like looking for songs using the iPod controls, search by playlist, genre, artist, album,
or song to ensure easy
access to each music file.
Repeat Playback: The Repeat
Playback function allows you to repeat the current song or all the songs from a
specified playlist.
Shuffle Playback: The
Shuffle Playback function has two modes, Track and
Album. In Track mode, all the songs in the current list are played back in random order.
In Album mode, the unit randomly selects and album then plays back all the
tracks in that album in order, then chooses another album, etc.
Charging iPod: When the receiver
is on and the iPod is connected, the iPod is supplied power for playback and to
charge the battery.
IP-BUS Pass-Thru:
The adapter uses the CD changer input on the Pioneer head unit. If you also want
to use a CD changer, satellite tuner, or other IP-BUS device, there is a pass-through connection on the
adapter, so they can be daisy chained together.
