MEDIA HUB — PLAYING iPod®/USB/MP3 DEVICES
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 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.
NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod®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 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.

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).
