PORTABLE AUDIO PLAYER INTEGRATION USING  

THE USB PORT OR AUX JACK

Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port and AUX jack below the climate control unit 

that allow you to play your iPod, USB device, or portable audio player through the 
vehicle’s audio system. Learn the system when parked and do not let it distract you 
while driving.

IMPORTANT:

•   Set the volume level on your portable audio player to the highest level before 

distortion starts, then use the vehicle’s audio system to adjust the volume.

•   Unplug any device from the USB port and accessory socket before turning off the 

vehicle. Leaving devices plugged in can drain the battery and cause issues during 
the Bluetooth

®

 pairing process at start-up. Wait about 15 seconds after starting the 

vehicle before plugging anything into the USB port.

NOTE:

 You will need an audio cable with an 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) mini stereo  

plug (available as a Genuine Mazda accessory) to connect your portable  
audio player into the AUX jack.
