MyFord Touch® A/V Inputs Note: For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow the portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion. To use the auxiliary input jack feature, make sure that your portable music player is designed to be used with headphones and that it is fully charged. You also need an audio extension cable with stereo male one-eighth inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors at one end and a RCA jack at the other. 1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio and portable device are turned off. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output of your player and the other end into the adaptor in one of the two left A/V input jacks (white or red) inside the center console. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned station from the FM tab or the CD tab (if there is a CD already loaded into the system.) Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to one-half. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V Input tab. (You should hear audio from your portable music player although it may be low.) Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between the controls. 2. 3. E142622 Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an auxiliary audio/video source (e.g. game systems or personal camcorders) by connecting RCA cords (not included) to these input jacks. The jacks are yellow, red and white and are located either in the center console or behind a small access door in the instrument panel. You can also use the A/V inputs as an auxiliary input jack (AIJ) to play music from your portable music player over your vehicle's speakers. Plug in your one-eighth inch (3.5 millimeter) RCA adapter into the two left A/V input jacks (red and white). Press the lower left corner of the touchscreen, then select the A/V Inputs tab. 4. 5. 6. In order to playback video from your iPod® or iPhone®, (if compatible), you MUST have a special combination USB/RCA composite video cable (available for purchase from Apple® ). When the cable is connected to your iPod® or iPhone®, plug the other end into both the RCA jacks and the USB port. 351
