Audio Jack (AUX)
• The AUX allows a portable device, such as an MP3 player or an iPod®, to be 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 Media 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. In order to activate the AUX, plug in the audio jack.

• To route the audio cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front of the console.
USB Port
• Connect your iPod® or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. USB Memory sticks with audio files can also be used. Then, audio from the device can be
played on the vehicle’s 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 specific device).
• To route the USB/iPod® cable out of the center console, use the access cut out.
ELECTRONICS

NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod® device for the first time, the system may take severalminutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately five 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.
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 to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list the contents.
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 system (see Uconnect® Phone for pairing instructions). You can access the music
from your connected Bluetooth® device by touching the Bluetooth® soft-key while in
Media mode.
