Hey i just installed my OEM mazda ipod player and i cant get to to play the songs i want. i have an 05 base model. I can listen to some songs but i didn't pick them to play. how to i pick the songs i want to play? like from a playlist? any advice will help! =)

 

If you want to select a menu you hold down the cd change button (up or down) for one second or more. The number scrolls but you ignore that. When you release the button the time counter shows the menu number for a second or so before the next song starts counting.

The cd change button also is used to change the list number within the menu you selected. The list is changed if you press the button for less than one second. The only issue here is if you hit the cd button twice in one second it will change the menu instead of the list so you have to change lists slowly.

The menu numbers are documented in the manual and the list in each menu is selected in the order programmed on your IPOD.

 

i still don't really get it. What i mainly want to do is get to a play list I've made and just play the songs on that play list.

 

Okay. Select the playlist menu. The menus are represented by numbers and are selected as described above.
Within that menu select the playlist you want.
The lists are numbered in the same order as on your IPOD.

The same thing is described in the manual. Play with it a bit and you'll understand it. The real key to menu switching is to realize that the menu number only shows up on the time counter.

 

mmk ill have to play with it ALOT then since i dont have the manual for it =(
Thanks for your help =)

 

From my manual...

The numbers below shows up on the time counter for about two seconds after you change the menu.

1:00 = Playlists
2:00 = Artists
3:00 = Albums
4:00 = Songs
5:00 = Genres
6:00 = Composers

Lists within menus are changed by pressing CD change button once for less than a second. Twice in a second or longer than a second switches the menu.

Have fun.
