Notes on audio AUX mode
External audio sources may have different
volumes, which can mean that system
messages such as traffic announcements and
navigation system announcements are much
louder. If necessary, deactivate the system
messages or adjust their volume manually.
AUX also provides the option of connecting a
Media Player to COMAND.
To connect an external audio source to the
audio AUX, you will require an audio AUX
cable.
