Playing an MP3
Insert a CD-R partway into the slot (Single CD Player),
or press the load button and wait for the message to
insert disc (Six-Disc CD Player), label side up. The
player will pull it in, and the CD-R should begin playing.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD-R in the
player it will stay in the player. When you turn on the
ignition or radio, the CD-R will start to play where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number and
song title will appear on the display.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality may be reduced due
to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of
the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R
has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and
ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom
surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD will not
play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, see
Care of Your CDs on page 3-124for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the
CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer
and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of
the recorded CD with a marking pen instead.
Notice:If you add any label to a CD, insert more
than one CD into the slot at a time, or attempt
to play scratched or damaged CDs, you could
damage the CD player. When using the CD player,
use only CDs in good condition without any
label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player
and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages”
later in this section.
Z(Eject):Press the CD eject button to eject CD-R(s).
To eject the CD-R that is currently playing, press and
release this button. You will hear a beep and Ejecting
Disc will be displayed. Once the disc is ejected, Remove
Disc will appear on display. The CD-R can be removed.
If the CD-R is not removed, after several seconds, the
CD-R will be automatically pulled back into the player and
begin playing.
For the Six-Disc CD player, press and hold the eject
button for two seconds to eject all discs.

Once the disc has been scanned, the player will default
to playing MP3 les in order by artist. The current artist
playing is shown on the second line of the display
between the arrows. Once all songs by that artist are
played, the player will move to the next artist in alphabetic
order on the CD-R and begin playing MP3 les by that
artist. If you want to listen to MP3 les by another artist,
press the pushbutton located below either arrow button.
You will go to the next or previous artist in alphabetic
order. Continue pressing either button until the desired
artist is displayed.
To change from playback by artist to playback by album,
press the pushbutton located below the Sort By label.
From the sort screen, push one of the buttons below the
album button. Press the pushbutton below the Back label
to return to the main music navigator screen. Now the
album name is displayed on the second line between the
arrows and songs from the current album will begin to
play. Once all songs from that album are played, the
player will move to the next album in alphabetic order on
the CD-R and begin playing MP3 les from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the button below the
Back label to return to normal MP3 playback.

auxiliary input device such as a portable audio player. If
a portable audio player is not connected, No Aux Input
Device Found will be displayed.

try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio displays
an error message, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Your radio system has an 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. You can however, connect an
external audio device such as an iPod, laptop computer,
MP3 player, CD changer, or cassette tape player, etc. to
the auxiliary input jack for use as another source for audio
listening.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) 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 car speakers.
O(Power/Volume):Turn this knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume
of the portable player. You may need to do additional
volume adjustments from the portable device if the
volume does not go loud or soft enough.BAND:Press this button to listen to the radio while a
portable audio device is playing. The portable audio
device will continue playing, so you may want to stop it
or turn it off.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press this button to play a CD
while a portable audio device is playing. Press this
button again and the system will begin playing audio
from the connected portable audio player. If a portable
audio player is not connected, “no input device
found” will be displayed.
Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features intended to
minimize driver distraction. Technology alone, no
matter how advanced, can never replace your own
judgment. See the Navigation System manual for some
tips to help you reduce distractions while driving.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of your
vehicle’s radio. The feature works automatically by
learning a portion of the Vehicle Identication Number
(VIN). If the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it
will not operate. If the radio is removed from your
vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used to
trace the radio back to your vehicle.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen.
