Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The radio system has an auxiliary input jack located on
the lower right side of the faceplate. This is not an audio
output. Do not plug the headphone set into the front
auxiliary input jack. An external audio device such as
an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player, CD changer,
or cassette tape player, etc. can be connected to the
auxiliary input jack for use as another source for audio
listening.
The auxiliary input jack also accepts cell phone
connectors. Plug the cell phone connector into the
auxiliary input jack to hear a person speaking on a cell
phone during conversation through the vehicle sound
system.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in PARK (P). See Defensive Driving
on page 4-2 for more information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) cable to the radio’s front auxiliary input jack.
While a device is connected, turn the portable audio
player on and press the radio CD/AUX button to
hear audio from the device over the vehicle speakers.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary): Press this button once to
play a CD while a portable audio device is playing.
Press this button a second time for the system to begin
playing audio from the connected portable audio player.
Once in this mode, Auxinput appears on the display. If the
auxiliary jack does not detect the presence of an output
jack, the auxiliary mode does not display.
O (Power/Volume): Turn the O knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume
of the portable player. Additional adjustments on a
portable device might be needed to get the desired
volume.
