Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Buick Regal TourX and 2018 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The infotainment system has a auxiliary jack, USB, and memory card receptacle assembly located in the armrest compartment. The two USB ports and the card reader slot 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 human machine interface control module via a standard USB cable. A Mini type USB connector is used to connect the cable at the human machine interface control module and at the auxiliary jack, USB, and memory card receptacle assembly. Standard USB male to female connections are typically used for connecting USB cables together where an in-line connection is required. An in-line cable connection is typically found between the console and I/P harness.

When equipped with RPO D07, an additional USB receptacle assembly is available in the front of the console. The USB receptacles in the assembly 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 human machine interface control module via a standard USB cable.

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 radio 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 vehicle owner's manual for information on USB devices, control, and operation.

SD Card Reader

The infotainment uses the SD card reader as a mass storage device, similar to a USB storage device.

Refer to the owners manual for information on media types supported via the SD card reader.
