Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Radios with an auxiliary input jack on the lower right side of the faceplate can connect to an external audio device such as an iPod®, MP3 player, or CD player, for use as another source for audio listening.
This input jack is not an audio output; do not plug headphones into the front auxiliary input jack.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5mm (1/8 in) cable to the radio's front auxiliary input jack.
When a device is connected, press the radio CD/AUX button to begin playing audio from the device over the vehicle speakers.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audio device's volume to the loudest level.
It is always best to power the portable audio device through its own battery while playing.

or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the volume of the portable
player. Additional volume
adjustments might have to be made
from the portable device if the
volume is not loud or soft enough.
BAND: Press to listen to the radio when a portable audio device is playing. The portable audio device continues playing.
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 Input Device Found displays.
Using the USB Port

USB Support
The USB connector is in the center console, and uses the USB 2.0 standard.
USB Supported Devices
Not all iPods and USB drives are compatible with the USB port.
Make sure the iPod has the latest firmware from Apple® for proper operation. iPod firmware can be updated using the latest iTunes® application. See www.apple.com/ itunes.

Connecting a USB Storage Device or iPod
The USB port can be used to control an iPod or a USB storage device.
To connect a USB storage device, connect the device to the USB port in the center console or on the instrument panel.
To connect an iPod, connect one end of the USB cable that came with the iPod to the iPod’s dock connector and connect the other end to the USB port in the center console. If the vehicle is on and the USB connection works, OK to disconnect and a GM logo may appear on the iPod and iPod appears on the radio display. The iPod music appears on the radio’s display and begins playing.
The iPod charges while it is connected to the vehicle if the vehicle is in the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position. When the vehicle is turned off, the iPod automatically powers off and will not charge or draw power from the vehicle's battery.
If you have an older iPod model that is not supported, it can still be used by connecting it to the auxiliary input jack using a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 in) stereo cable. See "Using the Auxiliary Input Jack" earlier for more information.
