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.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink®)
• HomeLink®replaces up to three hand-
held transmitters that operate devices
such as garage door openers, motor-
ized gates, lighting or home security
systems. The HomeLink®unit is pow-
ered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
• The HomeLink®buttons that are lo-
cated in the overhead console or sun-
visor designate the three different
HomeLink®channels.
• The HomeLink®indicator is located
above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming
HomeLink®
Ensure that your vehicle is parked out-
side of the garage before you begin programming.
For efficient programming and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal,
it is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device that is being programmed to the HomeLink®system.
To erase the channels, place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position, then push
and hold the two outside HomeLink®buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until
the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink®for
the first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
or, on the Internet atHomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:

button that is normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.
