USB Port (if equipped)

2013 Cadillac CTS V, 2D Coupe, Automatic TransSECTION USB Port (if equipped)

The USB connector uses the USB standards, 1.1 and 2.0. This type of connector supports rates for low speed (1.5 Mb/s), full speed (12 Mb/s), and high speed (480 Mb/s).

USB Supported Devices:

  • USB Flash Sticks (Thumb Drives)
  • Portable USB Hard Drives
  • CompactFlash (or other portable media) adapters

Depending on the USB mass storage device, some devices may not be recognized. The HUB device is not supported. An iPod can be controlled using the radio buttons and knobs and display the iPod song information on the radio's display. A special iPod connection cable is needed. This feature supports the following iPod models:

  • Fifth generation or later iPod
  • First or Second generation or later iPod Nano

For proper operation, make sure the iPod has the latest firmware from Apple®. The iPod firmware can be updated using the latest iTunes application. See apple.com/itunes. To connect and control the iPod, connect one end of the specially purchased iPod connection cable to the iPod's dock connector. Connect the other end to both the USB port and the auxiliary input jack. The USB port and the auxiliary input jack are located in the center console bin. If the vehicle is on and the USB connection works, a GM logo appears on the iPod. The iPod music displays on the radio's display and begins playing through the vehicle's radio system. A standard iPod USB cable, like the one that came with the iPod, cannot be used to connect an iPod to the vehicle. The iPod connection cable that was purchased with the vehicle or that was made available from the dealer must be used in order for this feature to work.
