The only way I know to pause it is to turn the AUDIO off by pressing the POWER button or pressing and holding the MODE button on the steering wheel. Doesn't take much time to start up again, so it's like a pause.

To fast-forward or reverse within a track (with the NAV version) press and hold the left (for reverse) or right (for forward) side of the SEEK-TRACK button that's on the left side of the NAV system just under the POWER-VOLUME button.

[quote=spencerhg]How do I pause it?, and

How do I go forward or backward within a track? If I cannot do that, when I listen to book-on-CD and miss an important word, I have to re-listen 20+ minutes of text.
