PORTABLE AUDIO PLAYER INTEGRATION USING THE  
USB PORT OR AUX JACK

Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port and AUX jack in the center console or below 

the climate control unit, that allows 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.

Locate the USB port or AUX jack.

1 

 Connect the device into the 
portable audio player and into 
the USB port or AUX jack.

2 

Turn the vehicle audio system on.

3 

 Audio Controls: Select AUX or 

USB from the Sources menu.

4 

USB Port: Use the vehicle's 
audio system or steering 
wheel controls to control the 
connected USB device.  

 AUX Jack: Use the portable 
audio player controls to play music. 

Refer to the Owner's Manual for additional information.

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.

When using a USB memory stick, the system plays the first audio file when restarting the 
vehicle. It does not start where it left off when turning off the engine.
