TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAYING iPod/USB/MP3 DEVICES
• There are many ways to play music from iPod®/MP3 players or USB devices through yourvehicle's sound system.
1. Audio Jack
• The Audio Jack allows a portable device, such as an MP3 player or a cassette player, tobe plugged into the radio and utilize the vehicle’s sound system, using a 3.5 mm audio
cable, to amplify the source and play through the vehicle speakers.
• Touching the Player soft-key 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 vehicle's 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.
2. USB Port
• Connect your iPod® or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. USBMemory 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 specificdevice).
• 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 minutesto read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system will take
approximately 5 minutes for every 1000 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.
3. SD Card
• Play songs stored on an SD card inserted into the SD card slot.
• Song playback can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls toplay, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list the contents.
4. Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
• If equipped with Uconnect™ Voice Command, your Bluetooth-equipped iPod® devices,cell phones or other media players, may also be able to stream music to your vehicle's
sound system. Your connected device must be Bluetooth-compatible, and paired with
your Uconnect Touch® system (see Uconnect™ Phone for pairing instructions). You can
access the music from your connected Bluetooth® device by touching the Source soft-key
while in Player mode.
