audio JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2017 WK2 / 4.G Owner's Manual

Audio Jack (AUX)
• The AUX allows a device to be plugged intothe radio and utilize the vehicle’s sound
system, using a 3.5 mm audio cable, to
amplify the source and play through the
vehicle speakers.
• Pressing the “AUX” button on the touch- screen will change the mode to auxiliary
device if the audio jack is connected,
allowing the music from your device to be
heard through the vehicle's speakers. To
activate the AUX, plug in the audio jack.
• The functions of the device are controlled using the device buttons. The volume may
be controlled using the radio or device.
• To route the audio cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front
of the console.
USB Port
• Connect your compatible device using aUSB cable into the USB Port. USB
Memory sticks with audio files can also be
used. Audio from the device can be played
on the vehicles sound system while provid-
ing metadata (artist, track title, album,
etc.) information on the radio display. • When connected, the compatible USB de-
vice 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 ap-
proximately five minutes for every
1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also dur-
ing the reading process, the Shuffle and
Browse functions will be disabled. This pro-
cess 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.
SD Card
• Play songs stored on an SD card inserted into the SD card slot.
• 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.
