Audio Jack (AUX)
The AUX allows a portable device such as an MP3 player or an iPod
®to be plugged
into the radio and utilize the vehicle’s audio system, using a 3.5 mm audio cable,
to amplify the source and play through the vehicle’s speakers.
• If the audio cable is connected to the AUX jack and portable device, press the MEDIA button, then touch the “Source” soft-key and select “AUX” to change the
mode to auxiliary device. This allows the music from your portable device to play
through the vehicle's speakers.
The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons, not the
buttons on the radio. The volume may be controlled using the radio or portable
device.
