Connecting The iPodOr External USB Device
Use the connection cable to connect an iPod or external
USB device to the vehicle’s USB/AUX connector port
which is located in the center console or glove compart-
ment. NOTE:
The center console will have a position where
the iPod or consumer electronic audio device cable can
be routed through without damaging the cable when
closing the lid. A factory cut out space for the cable to be
routed may be located in the base of the center console on
either the front or side. This allows routing of the cable
without damaging it while closing the lid. If a cut out is
not available in the center console base, route the cable
away from the lid latch and in a place that will allow the
lid to close without damaging the cable.
Once the audio device is connected and synchronized to
the vehicle’s iPod/USB/MP3 control system (iPod or
external USB device may take a few minutes to connect),
the audio device starts charging and is ready for use by
pressing radio switches, as described below.
