Internet Radio Application support (iPhone/iPod touch) This kit includes support for internet radio streaming apps available on the iTunes® Store. Thousands of stations can be streamed through data connections. Supported apps include Livio Car Internet Radio, Pandora, iHeart Radio and more. Supported features such as text display on screen, and next/previous track functions will vary by app. To learn more about each app specifically, please visit the website for the app you need information about.
Controlling Internet Radio Apps NOTE: The following features may not be supported by all apps. For demonstration purposes the following examples will show the features for the Livio Car Internet Radio app. The app must be active on the screen of the device. To do so, simply tap the app’s icon and it will load. Next/previous TRACK buttons execute application specific features such as skipping stream or cycling between station presets.
If your listening experience is interrupted by a call, under most conditions, the app will resume playback at the end of the call. Music playback apps running on your iPhone are sent to background automatically when the home button of the phone is pressed, but the music playback itself is not stopped. To resume playback of your iPod music library, stop Livio playback by tapping on the screen below the Livio Radio logo. An icon representing “stop” will show on the main Livio screen.
Terminate (kill) the App If you need to terminate (kill) the app please follow the steps below: 1. Double-tap on the home button of the iPhone to bring up the list of running apps. If you don’t see the app’s icon right away, swipe the screen left or right to locate it. Note: If you do not see such task bar but rather a music control popup then you have an iOS device that does not support background run of apps, therefore this section is not applicable to you. 2.

Troubleshooting Problem Text is not displaying in selected emulation. Solution Identify your audio system (refer to pg.7) first and set switches accordingly. Note that your vehicle may support more than one mode. Use the TEXT button on radio/display to toggle text fields. No text display on radio. Make sure DIP switch settings are correctly set for text display (refer to page 9 for DIP Switch Settings). Correct DIP switch settings but still no text display.
Problem Solution Sirius tuner can’t be selected. Ensure the cable connecting SIRIUS tuner is securely connected to the correct receptacle on the MediaBridge module. Refer to page 15 for cycling through MediaBridge audio sources. Why does the radio display show “EMPTY/STOP” and no music plays? The iPod has reached the end of a selection. Go ahead and browse for another selection. Cannot select the interface. Verify that the correct button is being pressed to access the interface (DISC or SAT).
Problem Solution Why does the message “iPod UNLOCKED” display on screen? When the MediaBridge is playing iPod music in UNLOCKED mode, browsing mode information isn’t available so the “iPod UNLOCKED” notification is shown. To view information associated with browsing modes, ensure the hold button of the iPod is set before connecting it to MediaBridge. Why is the interface not controlling the iPod/USB drive? Please make sure that the USB connection is not loose.
