recording it to a USB storage
device. The audio book playback requires
activation of the vehicle as a player
for downloaded content. The radio
system activates the audio-book
system when information is found
on either a CD inserted into the CD
player or if a USB storage device is
connected. Make sure the activation
file is copied onto a CD or a USB
storage device so that the
downloaded media is supported.
In the process of activation, the
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
number is required in order to
activate your vehicle.
Auxiliary Devices
The navigation system has an
auxiliary input jack located in the
center console. 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 changer, 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 P (Park). See
“Defensive Driving”
in the Index of
the vehicle owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player,
connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to
the auxiliary input jack. When a
device is connected, the system
detects and automatically begins
playing audio from the device over
the vehicle's speakers.
If a device is connected and you are
listening to another source (FM, XM
(if equipped), CD, MP3, etc.), press
the AUDIO control button then press
AUDIO repeatedly until AUX is
selected or press the AUX screen
button. An auxiliary device must be
