Using the Auxiliary Input Jack

Your radio system has an auxiliary input jack located
on the lower right side of the faceplate. This is not
an audio output; do not plug the headphone set into
the front auxiliary input jack. You can however, connect
an external audio device such as an iPod, laptop
computer, MP3 player, CD player, or cassette tape
player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack for use as another
source for audio listening.

Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in PARK (P). See Defensive Driving
on page 4-2 for more information on driver distraction.

To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) 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.

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, so you might want to stop it or turn it off.

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 label and a message
showing track or chapter number displays 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 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(s)”
later in this section, or “Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks” under,
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) System on page 3-115
for more information.
