Please dont laugh, but I have a few new owner questions

yaheard · 08-04-2011, 02:48 PM

I got my Z on Tuesday and it did not come with an owners manual. I plan on purchasing one but thats no biggie and another topic.

I am wondering where exactly you plug the usb cable in for your ipod? I have the cable that came with the car but can not locate where to plug it in. Ive looked all around but cant find it!

Also, how do you hook up the bluetooth? I have it all set on my phone and then press the button so the car will search for devices, but it wont find my phone even when I am just sitting in it. Any help?

I think thas all for now, sorry for the dumb questions but Im kind of stumped with this until i get a manual

I could be wrong because my car didn't come with the ipod kit, did you look in the glove box or center console?

And if you bought your car new you shouldn't have to buy the manual I'd call to get a copy. If not you can get it for free as a PDF online.

iPod plug is in the front of the center console.

Red__Zed · 08-04-2011, 02:58 PM

For the phone setup, what kind of phone do you have?

The center armrest console is correct. A bunch of plugs in there.

yaheard- check the secret compartment behind the passenger seat. you shall find your owner's manual there....(?) at least that's where i found mine.

yaheard · 08-04-2011, 03:10 PM

Ok thanks guys:

No connectors or anything in my center console. I have the usb cord but still cant locate where it goes to. I also checked the glove compartment and nothing there. So I may not have one

I have a Sony Xperia X10 phone.

I bought mine used at a dealer. Ill check behond the passenger seat! MAybe a surprise awaits

EUREKA! She came bearing hidden treasure! I found my manual in that little compartment behind the passenger seat. Thanks Kenchan!

Is your stereo the base model with no nav? There is a chance that you do not have a usb port for your iphone...only an aux port on the front of the radio.

Nick911sc · 08-04-2011, 03:18 PM

Is it possible there is no ipod jack in your car? Double check the center console, it should be on the wall facing forward.

Does it look like you have a cup holder in your console? If so, that is a plastic insert that should be removed to expose the ports. Most people remove the insert and never put it back in because of this reason.

I forgot about that.

yaheard · 08-04-2011, 03:32 PM

Bromotoz you got it. I saw in the quick reference guide to lift the cup holder thing out. So now I found the IPOD jack and the other jacks in there.

Now I am trying to get my phone setup. Little tricky not gonng lie. My phone is on the list that it supports but Im still having trouble locating it eihter manualy or through the voice commands
