MEDIA HUB — iPod®/USB/MP3/SD Card
There are many ways to play music from iPod®/MP3 players, SD card, or USB devices
through your vehicle's sound system.
•Pressyour“Media”buttononthetouchscreentobegin.
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
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.)

NOTE:
•WhenconnectingyouriPod®device for the first time, the system may take several
minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately five minutes for every 1,000 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.
