Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an
auxiliary audio/video source (such as a
gaming systems or a personal camcorder)
by connecting RCA cords (not included) to
these input jacks. The jacks are yellow, red
and white and are located either behind a
small access door on the instrument panel
or in your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an
auxiliary input jack to play music from your
portable music player over your vehicle's
speakers. Plug in your 1/8 inch (3.5 millimeter)
RCA adapter into the two left A/V input jacks
(red and white).
Press the lower left corner of the
touchscreen, and then select A/V In. To use the auxiliary input jack feature, make
sure that your portable music player is
designed for use with headphones and that
it is fully charged. You also need an audio
extension cable with stereo male 1/8-inch
(3.5 millimeter) connectors at one end and a
RCA jack at the other.
1.
Switch off the engine, radio and portable
music player. Set the parking brake and
put the transmission in position
P.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output of your
player and the other end into the adapter
in one of the two left A/V input jacks
(white or red) inside the center console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned FM
station or a CD (if there is a CD already
loaded into the system).
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to ½ the maximum.
6. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the
A/V In tab. (You
should hear audio from your portable
music player although it may be low.) 7.
Adjust the sound on your portable music
player until it reaches the level of the FM
station or CD by switching back and forth
between the controls.
In order to playback video from your iPod or
iPhone, you must have a special combination
USB/RCA composite video cable (which you
can buy from Apple). When you connect the
cable to your iPod or iPhone, plug the other
end into both the RCA jacks and the USB
port.
Troubleshooting
• Do not connect the audio input jack to a
line level output. The jack only works
correctly with devices that have a
headphone output with a volume control.
• Do not set the portable music player's
volume level higher than is necessary to
match the volume of the CD or FM radio
as this causes distortion and reduces
sound quality.
