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)

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.
