Circuit/System Description

The infotainment system has a USB receptacle assembly in the front of the console. The USB receptacles in the assembly 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 radio via a standard USB cable. A mini type USB connector is used to connect the cable at the radio and at the USB receptacle assembly. 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.

The USB ports allow 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 infotainment controls.

Not all portable media player devices, storage devices, or file types are compatible. Refer to the owner’s manual for information on USB devices, control, and operation.
