Accessing and using your USB port
Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port. (For exact location, refer to
your vehicle’sOwner’s guide.) You can use the USB port to plug in and
access media devices as well as charge devices (if supported by your
device). For a list of compatible media players, refer to
www.SyncMyRide.com.
Note:Since your USB port allows you to charge your device (if
supported by your device), SYNC will not automatically change media
modes when something is initially plugged into the USB port. To access

upon the size of the media content being indexed.
Note:SYNC is capable of indexing thousands of average size media files.
SYNC will notify you once maximum indexing file size is reached.
If your playing device becomes disconnected from the USB port at
any time,the display will read USB REMOVED.
