Earphones with standard 2013 radio

How can earphones be used so the passenger can sleep while driver listens to radio/CD/usb? When I plug earphones in below the usb port, nothing happens.

The Title asks my question. Does it damage the key to get it wet? The service department is closed and we leave early in the morning.

This cold morning I saw the exhaust is much greater through left-hand pipe then through the right-hand pipe. Is that common or not?
