PLAYING iPod/USB/MP3 DEVICES
• There are many ways to play music from iPod/MP3 players or USB devices through your
vehicles sound system.
Audio Jack (AUX)
• The Audio Jack, located in the center console, allows a portable device, such as an
MP3 player or an iPod, to be plugged into the radio and utilize the vehicles sound
system, using a 3.5 mm audio cable, to amplify the source and play through the vehicle
speakers.
• Pressing the “Player” button on the touchscreen then choose AUX source will change
the mode to auxiliary device if the Audio Jack is connected, allowing the music from
your portable device to be heard through the vehicles speakers.
• The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons. The
volume may be controlled using the radio or portable device.
• To route the audio cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front
of the console.
USB Port
• Connect your iPod or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. The USB
Port is contained within the center console. USB Memory sticks with audio files can
also be used. Then, audio from the device can be played on the vehicles sound system
while providing metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.) information on the radio
display.
• When connected, the iPod/compatible USB device can be controlled using the radio or
Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and
list the contents.
• The iPod battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific
device).
• To route the USB/iPod cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the
front of the console.
NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod device for the first time, the system may take several
minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately five minutes for every 1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also
during the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This
process is needed to ensure the full use of your iPod features and only happens the first
time it is connected. After the first time, the reading process of your iPod will take
considerably less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the playlist.
• The USB port supports certain Mini, Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone devices. The
USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage
Class memory devices. Some iPod software versions may not fully support the USB port
features. Please visit Apple’s website for iPod software updates.
