Auxiliary Devices
The navigation system has an auxiliary input jack
located in the upper right corner of the faceplate.

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 PARK (P). See “Defensive Driving”
in the Index of your vehicles owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.If your vehicle has rear audio/video input jacks, located
in the rear of the center console, they can be used
as another source for audio/video listening.
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 will detect and
