USB Port
• Connect your compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. USBMemory sticks with audio files can also be used. Audio from the device can be
played on the vehicles sound system while providing metadata (artist, track title,
album, etc.) information on the radio display.
• When connected, the compatible USB device can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse,
and list the contents.
• The battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific device).
• 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 read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system will
take approximately five minutes for every 1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also
during the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This
process is needed to ensure the full use of your features and only happens the first
time it is 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.

• Song playback can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list the contents.
