Auxiliary Inputs

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Canyon and 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Front Auxiliary Audio Input

The infotainment system has a auxiliary jack, USB, and memory card receptacle assembly located in the console. The two USB ports and the card reader slot 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 human machine interface control module via a standard USB cable. A Mini type USB connector is used to connect the cable at the USB port and at the human machine interface control module and at the auxiliary jack, USB, and memory card 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.

The auxiliary audio input jack interfaces directly with the radio. When a portable audio playback device is connected to the auxiliary jack, an internal switch detects the connection and the radio will switch to AUX as the audio source. Audio signals from the device are sent to the radio from the auxiliary jack via the left, right, and common audio signal circuits.

Playback of an audio device that is connected to the 3.5 mm jack can only be controlled using the controls on the device.
The volume control on the device may need to be adjusted to ensure sufficient playback volume through the infotainment system.

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 radio controls.

Not all portable media player devices or file types are compatible. Connection to USB HUB devices is not supported.
Refer to the owner's manual for information on USB devices, control, and operation.

The infotainment system uses the SD card reader as a mass storage device, similar to a USB storage device. Refer to the owners manual for information on media types supported via the SD card reader.

Rear USB Ports

The infotainment system has a USB receptacle assembly located in the rear of the console. The two USB ports 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.

An additional USB port is located in the console storage compartment. This USB port is connected to the rear receptacle assembly via a USB cable, and interfaces through the rear receptacle internal hub to connect to the system.
