    Wondering if someone with the same radio might be able to help me out, I see the Aux and usb port and I tried to connect my laptop to it, is this an audio output aux? If so then maybe my cord is messed up or im trying to switch the mode wrong, if not then #### wanted to watch a movie without headphones.

    Audio only. Plug it in then use the switch that shows CD/AUX to get it to AUX on the dial. My slip seat partner uses his usb port to play pandora while he drives. I plug my sirius into the earphone jack deal to hear my sirius.

    I wasnt getting the Aux setting, it would go from FM to AM to WX and then "no cd" and back to FM, maybe its the cord im trying to use, I will pick up another cord and try it out when I have a chance since im wanting to use my pandora too.

    I'm thinking that the sirius tech told me that the plug jack for sirius is a 9mm if that makes sense, but I could be wrong.. You can look at Best Buy, but my experience has been that they know little of the tech side of anything.

    It should I think your best bet as far as usb goes is to use a thumb drive. If you use your phone make sure there's a usb setting for mass hard drive if you don't it most likey won't read it. I'm not sure if the radio is ipod compatable through usb. But since #### near every radio is I wouldn't doubt it.
