There are many ways to play music from
MP3 players, or USB devices through your
vehicle's sound system. Press your Media
button on the touchscreen to begin.
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, allow-
ing 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.
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 providing
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 de-
vice).
• 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.
Bluetooth Streaming Audio
If using a Bluetooth equipped device you may
also be able to stream music to your vehicle's
sound system. Your connected device must
be Bluetooth compatible and paired with
your system (see Uconnect Phone for pairing
instructions). You can access the music from
your connected Bluetooth device by pressing
the Bluetooth button on the touchscreen
while in Media mode.
