Auxiliary Devices
The navigation system has an auxiliary input jack
located in the center console. This is not an audio
output; do not plug the headphone set into the front
auxiliary input jack. You can however, connect an
external audio device such as an iPod, laptop computer,
MP3 player, CD changer, or cassette tape player, etc.
to the auxiliary input jack for use as another source
for audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park). See “Defensive Driving”
in the Index of the vehicle’s owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) cable to the auxiliary input jack. When a
device is connected, the system detects and
automatically begins playing audio from the device
over the vehicle’s speakers.
If a device is connected and you are listening to another
source (FM, CD, MP3, etc.), press the AUDIO key
then press the AUDIO key repeatedly until AUX
is selected or touch the AUX screen button. An auxiliary
device must be connected for the AUX screen button
to appear as an option to select or the vehicle must have
rear auxiliary jacks.
The screen buttons are dependent of the type of
auxiliary device that you are using.
