Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The infotainment system has a auxiliary jack and USB receptacle assembly located in the center console. The 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.

The internal hub device interfaces directly with the Navigation control module via a standard USB cable. A Mini type USB connector is used to connect the cable at the Navigation control module and at the auxiliary jack and USB receptacle assembly.

Auxiliary Audio Input Jack

The 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack is located in the console. When a portable audio playback device is connected to the auxiliary jack, an internal switch opens the detection signal circuit. The radio detects the device and AUX becomes available as an audio source. Audio signals from the device are sent to the Navigation Control Module from the auxiliary input jack via the left, right and common audio signal circuits.

USB Ports

The USB port allows 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. Refer to the owner's manual for information on USB devices, control and operation.
