storage device.
To connect a USB storage device, connect the device
to the USB port located on the front of the radio.
To connect an iPod, connect one end of the USB cable
that came with the iPod to the iPod’s dock connector
and connect the other end to the USB port located

connection works, “OK to disconnect” and a GM logo
may appear on the iPod and iPod appears on the radio’s
display. The iPod music appears on the radio’s display

The iPod charges while it is connected to the vehicle if
the vehicle is in the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN
position. When the vehicle is turned off, the iPod
automatically powers off and will not charge or draw
power from the vehicle’s battery.
If you have an older iPod model that is not supported, it
can still be used by connecting it to the Auxiliary
Input Jack using a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) stereo
cable. See “Using the Auxiliary Input Jack” earlier
