So how do you get the auxiliary port in the glove box to work! 🤔

Your 2011 should have both an Aux and a USB port in the glove box. Any USB drive with music (mp3 files) on it will play through the USB port. Any audio device with an output cord ending in a 3.5mm plug will work through the Aux plug. The radio allows you to select either source. Use the "media" button below the large "On" button to select which source you want.

Ahhhh ok, it has to be a usb drive with music already on it! I thought I could just plug my phone is and some how stream music thru the radio! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Lol . Thank you! It’s a good thing i ordered the Kinivo Bluetooth kit! 😃

If your phone has a headphone jack you can buy an adapter cord that will plug into the Aux plug in the glove box...

I have the iPhone 11 so no auxiliary anymore

In your case I would recommend picking up a bluetooth transmitter. Look for one that charges by USB and plugs into an audio jack. The USB port in the glovebox is powerful enough to keep the transmitter charged. I had one a long time ago, lasted about a year before the transmitter failed for some reason. All my phones nowadays usually have headphone jacks though so I never replaced it.

I ordered the Kinivo Bluetooth kit and it supposedly comes with all of that. It had good reviews so I’m hoping it really is good and I can stream Spotify! 😬

Why don’t you use your USB, in the glove box. The sound Quality will be stronger then Bluetooth. Your charge your phone at the same time. All our other brand cars, have Bluetooth capability. We always use USB.

Well I tried to use the usb cord from my phone to the port and switched the media to usb but nothing. It doesn’t do anything just says not connected.

Try another usb cord if you have it.

 

[PennyR]

Yep tried another cord and still nothing. It doesn’t even charge my phone so maybe it’s a dead usb port? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll need to buy an auxillary adapter for my iPhone to see if that’ll work while i wait for my Bluetooth receiver.

The USB port in the facelift cars like ours are not meant for phones, sadly. It's really only there for flash drives. It does have enough juice to charge tiny batteries, though.

The USBs in the later 451s with the "Entryline" headunit are pretty stupid. Too weak to charge a phone with a big battery and incompatible with most devices.

For whatever reason, the port and the headunit are only really good for flash drives or providing morsels of power to things with small batteries. An old iPod may work.

I got an auxillary adapter for my iPhone for now and it worked! I can stream my music now. I think I’ll just give up on the usb since the auxillary is working until the Bluetooth receiver comes in!
