ing the music from your device to be heard

vice).
• To route the USB cable out of the center console, use the access cut out. NOTE:
When connecting your device for the first
time, the system may take several minutes to

ing the reading process, the Shuffle and
Browse functions will be disabled. This pro-
cess is needed to ensure the full use of your

connected. After the first time, the reading
process of your device will take considerably
less time unless changes are made or new
songs are added to the playlist.
