A/V Inputs
Note:For safety reasons, connecting or
adjusting the settings on your portable
music player should not be attempted while
the vehicle is moving. Also, the portable
music player should be stored in a secure
location, such as the center console or the
glove box, when the vehicle is in motion. The
audio extension cable must be long enough
to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an
auxiliary audio/video source (e.g. game
systems or personal camcorders) by
connecting RCA cords (not included) to
these input jacks. The jacks are yellow, red
and white and are located either in the
center console or behind a small access
door in the instrument panel.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an
auxiliary input jack (AIJ) to play music from
your portable music player over your
vehicle's speakers. Plug in your one-eighth
inch (3.5 millimeter) RCA adapter into the
two left A/V input jacks (red and white).
Press the lower left corner of the
touchscreen, then select the A/V Inputs
tab. To use the auxiliary input jack feature,
make sure that your portable music player
is designed to be used with headphones
and that it is fully charged. You also need
an audio extension cable with stereo male
one-eighth inch (3.5 millimeter)
connectors at one end and a RCA jack at
the other.
1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the
radio and portable device are turned
off.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension
cable to the headphone output of your
player and the other end into the
adaptor in one of the two left A/V input
jacks (white or red) inside the center
console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned
station from the FM tab or the CD tab
(if there is a CD already loaded into the
system.) Adjust the volume to a
comfortable listening level.
4. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to one-half.
5. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V Input tab.
(You should hear audio from your
portable music player although it may
be low.)
6. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level
of the FM station or CD by switching
back and forth between the controls.
In order to playback video from your iPod®
or iPhone®, (if compatible), you MUST
have a special combination USB/RCA
composite video cable (available for
purchase from Apple® ). When the cable
is connected to your iPod® or iPhone®,
plug the other end into both the RCA jacks
and the USB port.
