Playback of iPod in aux on C5 cd player unit

Post by Napoleon »

I think I know the answer to this pone, but I'll post anyway just in case I have it wrong (hope I'm wrong).

When I play an album off the iPod connected via the socket in the glove box in the C5, the CD player plays all the tracks, which is great, but it will not jump to the next album.

I have to unplug the cable from the iPod and move on to the next one from there, re-attach the plug and off we go again.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to browse the ipod without this rigmarole?






(unrelated question, but concerns the glove box - what is the red and the white connector(s) for? Connecting a video or something?)

red and white connectors are Right/Left audio phono jacks for connecting an Auxillary audio source. Leads are available to convert a headphone jack to 2 x phono plugs. Connecting via this method means that track selection has to be done via the external device and you won't get any track info on the radio display.
