USB Supported Devices:
- USB Flash Sticks (Thumb Drives)

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 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. To connect and control the iPod®, connect the iPod® to the USB port. If the vehicle is on and the USB connection is present, a GM logo appears on the iPod®. The iPod® music displays on the radio display and begins playing through the vehicle radio system.
