USB Ports

On the front panel

The USB port (2.5A) is for charging devices, playing audio files and connecting compatible phones with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

  • To prevent any potential issues, be sure to use an Apple MFi Certified Lightning Connector for Apple CarPlay, and for Android Auto, the USB cables should be certified by USB-IF to be compliant with USB 2.0 Standard.

On the undertray

The USB ports (2.5A) are only for charging devices.

  • You cannot play music even if you have connected music players to them.
  • Do not leave the iPod or USB flash drive in the vehicle. Direct sunlight and high temperatures may damage it.
  • We recommend that you use a USB cable if you are attaching a USB flash drive to the USB port.
  • Do not connect the iPod or USB flash drive using a hub.
  • Do not use a device such as a card reader or hard disk drive, as the device or your files may be damaged.
  • We recommend backing up your data before using the device in your vehicle.
  • Displayed messages may vary depending on the device model and software version.
 
USB charge
The USB port can supply up to 2.5A of power. It does not output 2.5A unless requested by the device.
For amperage details, read the operating manual of the device that needs to be charged.
 
Under certain conditions, a device connected to the port may generate noise to the radio station you are listening to.
