Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Description
The infotainment system has a auxiliary jack, USB, and memory card receptacle assembly located in the center console. The two USB ports and the card reader slot interface with a hub device, internal to the assembly. The assembly receives fused battery voltage and ground from the harness to power the internal hub device as well as providing additional amperage to power USB devices.
The internal hub device interfaces directly with the human machine interface control module via a standard USB cable. A Mini type USB connector is used to connect the cable at the human machine interface control module and at the auxiliary jack, USB, and memory card receptacle assembly. Standard USB male to female connections are typically used for connecting USB cables together where an in-line connection is required. An in-line cable connection is typically found between the console and I/P harness.
An additional USB receptacle is located in the storage compartment behind the display/controls. This USB receptacle is part of the USB cable connected directly to the human machine interface control module.
Auxiliary Audio Input Jack
The 3.5mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack is located in the console. When a portable audio playback device is connected to the auxiliary jack, an internal switch opens the detection signal circuit . The radio detects the device and AUX becomes available as an audio source. Audio signals from the device are sent to the radio from the auxiliary input jack via the left, right, and common audio signal circuits.
USB Ports
The USB port allows connectivity to the infotainment system from portable media players or a USB storage device (memory stick/ flash drive). When a device is connected to the USB port, the system detects the device and USB becomes available as an audio source. Once connected, the device can be controlled from the radio controls.
Not all portable media player devices or file types are compatible. Refer to the owner's manual for information on USB devices, control, and operation.
SD Card Reader
The infotainment uses the SD card reader as a mass storage device, similar to a USB storage device.
Refer to the owners manual for information on media types supported via the SD card reader.

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
