Using An Mp3 - Pontiac G3 2010 Owner's Manual

Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The radio system has a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) auxiliary input
jack located on the lower right side of the faceplate.
This is not an audio output; do not plug the headphone
set into the front auxiliary input jack. An external audio
device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player,
CD changer, etc. can be connected to the 3.5 mm
(1/8 in) auxiliary input jack for use as another audio
source.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park). See Defensive Driving
on page 5 2 for more information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 in) cable to the radio's front auxiliary input jack.
When a device is connected, press the radio CD/AUX
button to begin playing audio from the device over the
vehicle speakers.
(Power/Volume) : Turn to adjust the volume.
Additional volume adjustments may have to be made
from the portable device if the volume is too quiet or
too loud.
CD/AUX (Auxiliary) : Press to play a CD while a
portable audio device is playing. Press CD/AUX a
second time for the system to begin playing audio from

Using an MP3

MP3/WMA CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded on a
CD-R disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA files on
one disc.
Make sure each MP3/WMA file has a .m3u or
.wma extension, other file extensions might
not work.
Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and
album are available for display by the radio when
recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Make sure to finalize the disc when burning an
MP3/WMA disc, using multiple sessions. It is
usually better to burn the disc all at once.
The player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, five sessions, and 999 files. Long file names
and folder names can use more disc memory space
than necessary. To conserve space on the disc,
minimize the length of the file and folder names.
