Help setting up Ipod

Hi everyone,
I am hoping that someone can help me. I just got my 2010 chili red convertible yesterday and am lost with how to program the stereo. I figured out how to program my radio, but want to set up my Ipod to display on the stereo. Maybe the car won't do it, but I think with an AUX function it should work.
Thanks for any responses

Below the toggle switches at the bottom of the center console is there a usb port and an aux jack?

If so, you'll need a Y-cable (should be included) to connect your iPod to both the aux port and the usb port.

It should then display on your stereo.

And if you do not have the USB port then it will not display on the radio unless you get the optional iPod interface which normally is installed in the secret compartment.

Thanks for the info. My car only has the AUX port, no USB unless it is hidden somewhere that I can't find-I have the USB drive but no place to plug it in. I plugged my Ipod in and selected AUX. I am only able to control the volume. Maybe the music display isn't an option on my car.
Thanks for the help
