There are many ways to play music from iPod®/MP3 players or USB devices through your
vehicle's sound system.
• Press your “Media” button on the touchscreen to begin.
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. 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

NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod® device for the first time, the system may take several minutes toread 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.
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.
• Pressing the “AUX” button on the touchscreen 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.
• 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.
Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
If using a Bluetooth® - equipped device, you 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).
