Using the AUX mode

You can listen to audio from your vehicle’s speakers by connecting external devices, such as smartphones and MP3 players.

Connect an external device to the AUX port in your vehicle using an AUX cable.

  • The AUX mode starts automatically and the sound is heard via your vehicle’s speakers.

  • If an external device is already connected to the system, press the [MEDIA] / [AUDIO] button repeatedly until the AUX mode is selected.

Press the [MENU/CLOCK] button on the control panel to access the following menu options:

  • Sound Settings: You can change the settings related to sounds, such as location where sound will be concentrated and the output level for each range.

    • Position: Select a location where sound will be concentrated in the vehicle. Select Fader* or Balance, turn the [TUNE] knob to select the desired position, and then press the knob. To set sound to be centred in the vehicle, select Centre.

    • Tone: Adjust the output level for each sound tone mode.

    • Speed Dependent Vol.*: Set the volume to be adjusted automatically according to your driving speed.

NOTICE
  • Because the system works as an output device of the connected external device in the AUX mode, you cannot use controls other than the volume control. Use controls on the external device to control playback.

  • The sound volume for the AUX mode is adjusted separately from the other modes.

  • Depending on the device type, using an external device with the power cable plugged into the power jack may cause a distorted noise.

  • If the AUX cable is plugged into the system without an external device, a distorted noise may occur. Remove the AUX cable from the AUX port when an external device is not connected.
