Multimedia Player Interface Module (MPIM) (If Equipped)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Buick Verano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The vehicle may be equipped with a Multimedia Player Interface Module. This module can receive signals via the USB connector, the auxiliary audio input jack, or a Bluetooth® connection. This module receives the incoming signals , then sends the signals as analog audio inputs to the radio.
To allow the radio controls to be used to control portable media devices (USB, Bluetooth, iPOD®, ZUNE®, etc); the MPIM translates the USB signals to GMLAN signals to allow the bi-directional communication between the radio and the device. Depending on the device, some devices may not be recognized, or some features/functions may not be able to be controlled with the radio controls. USB HUB devices are not supported.
