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. You can however, connect an
external audio device such as an iPod™, laptop
computer, MP3 player, CD changer, or cassette tape
player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack for use as another
source for audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park). See Defensive Driving
on page 5‑2 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.
When connecting an auxiliary device, the radio
automatically detects the device and “Aux Input Device”
displays. The device begins playing audio over the
vehicle speakers. If an auxiliary device has already
been connected, the device does not begin playing
audio until the radio's CD/AUX button is pressed.
O
(Power/Volume): Turn to increase or decrease the
volume of the portable player. You might need to do
additional volume adjustments from the portable device.
BAND: Press to listen to the radio when a portable
audio device is playing. The portable audio device
continues playing, so you might want to stop it or
power it off.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary): Press to play a CD when
a portable audio device is playing. Press again and
the system begins playing audio from the connected
portable audio player. If a portable audio player is not
connected, “No Aux Input Device Found” displays.
Using an MP3
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 and WMA files that were recorded
on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The files can be recorded
with the following fixed bit rates: 32 kbps, 40 kbps,
56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps,
128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps,
and 320 kbps or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist
name, and album can display when files are recorded
using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA files) and MP3/WMA
files. By default the radio reads only the uncompressed
audio and ignores the MP3/WMA files. Pressing
the CAT button toggles between compressed and
uncompressed audio format.
