Features
USB Ports
Install the iPod USB connector or the USB flash drive to the USB port.
■ In the glove box
The USB port (1.0A) is for playing audio files
on a USB flash drive and connecting a cellular
phone and charging device. ■ In the consol e compartment
The USB port (1.5A) is for charging devices,
playing audio files and connecting compatible
phones with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
uTo prevent any potenti al issues, be sure
to use an Apple MFi Certified Lightning
Connector for Apple CarPlay, and for
Android Auto, the USB cables should be
certified by USB-IF to be compliant with USB 2.0 Standard.
1USB Ports
• Do not leave the iPod or USB flash drive in the
vehicle. Direct sunlight and high temperatures may damage it.
• We recommend using an ex tension cable with the
USB port.
• Do not connect the iPod or USB flash drive using a
hub.
• Do not use a device such as a card reader or hard
disk drive, as the device or your files may be
damaged.
• We recommend k eeping your data backed up
before using the device in your vehicle.
• Displayed messages may vary depending on the
device model and software version.
If the audio system does not recognize the iPod, try
reconnecting it a few times or reboot the device. To
reboot, follow the manufac turer’s instructions
provided with the iPod or visit www.apple.com/ipod.
The USB port can supply up to 1.0A/1.5A of power. It
does not output 1.0A/1.5A unless requested by the
device.
For amperage details, read the operating manual of
the device that ne eds to be charged.
Set the power mode to ACCESSORY or ON first. Under certain condi tions, a device connected to the
port may generate noise in the radio you are listening
to.
