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 USB port and a Auxiliary Audio Input Jack located in the center console. The receptacle 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 human machine interface control module and the USB receptacle. 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.
Auxiliary Audio Input Jack
When a portable audio playback device is connected to the 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack an internal switch opens the detection signal circuit within the hub. The HMI detects the device and AUX becomes available as an audio source. Audio signals from the device are converted from analog to digital, these signals are then sent to the HMI from the auxiliary input jack via USB.
USB Port
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 switches to USB as the 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.

When to See a Mechanic
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.
