Auxiliary Devices
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Radios with an auxiliary input jack
located on the lower right side of the
faceplate can connect to an external
audio device such as an iPod
® ,
MP3 player, or CD player, for use as
another source for audio listening.
This input jack is not an audio
output; do not plug headphones into
the front auxiliary input jack.
Drivers are encouraged to set up
any auxiliary device while the
vehicle is in P (Park). See
Defensive Driving on page 9‑3 for
more information on driver
distraction.
To use a portable audio player,
connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to
the radio's front auxiliary input jack.
When a device is connected, press
the radio CD/AUX button to begin
playing audio from the device over
the vehicle speakers.
For optimal sound quality, increase
the portable audio device's volume
to the loudest level.
It is always best to power the
portable audio device through its
own battery while playing.
O (Power/Volume): Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the volume of the portable
player. Additional volume
adjustments might have to be made
from the portable device if the
volume is not loud or soft enough.
BAND: Press to listen to the radio
when a portable audio device is
playing. The portable audio device
continues playing.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary): Press to
play a CD when a portable audio
device is playing. Press again and
the system begins playing audio
from the connected portable audio
player. If a portable audio player is
not connected, “No Input Device
Found” displays.
DVD/CD AUX (DVD/CD/
Auxiliary): Press to cycle through
DVD, CD, or Auxiliary when
listening to the radio. The DVD/CD
text tab and a message showing
track or chapter number will display
when a disc is in either slot. Press
again and the system automatically
searches for an auxiliary input
device, such as a portable audio
player. If a portable audio player is
not connected, “No Aux Input
Device” displays. If a disc is in both
the DVD slot and the CD slot, the
DVD/CD AUX button cycles
between the two sources and does
not indicate “No Aux Input Device.”
If a front auxiliary device is
connected, the DVD/CD AUX button
cycles through all available options,
such as: DVD slot, CD slot, front
auxiliary, and rear auxiliary (if
available). See “Using the Auxiliary
Input Jack” in this section, or “Audio/
Video (A/V) Jacks” under Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) System on
page 7‑40 for more information.
