feature. If it has, it is capable of playing an
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW disc. For more
information on how to play an MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW disc, seeUsing an MP3 on page 257
later in this section.
CD Messages
DISC ERROR:If an error message displays
and/or the CD comes out, it could be for one of
the following reasons:
The radio system does not support the playlist
format, the compressed audio format, or the
data le format.
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
255

There could have been a problem while burning
the CD.
The label could be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, 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.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary
device while the vehicle is in PARK (P). See
Defensive Driving on page 274for more
information on driver distraction.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 vehicle speakers.

Using an MP3
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 and WMA les that were
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The les can
be recorded with the following xed bit rates:
32 kbps, 40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps,
96 kbps, 112 kbps, 128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps,
224 kbps, 256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a variable
bit rate. Song title, artist name, and album
can display when les are recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
standard uncompressed CD audio and MP3/WMA
compressed audio les. By default the radio
reads only the uncompressed audio and ignores
the MP3/WMA les. Pressing the CAT (category)
button toggles between compressed and
uncompressed audio format.
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Make sure the CD does not have more than a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 les to read and play.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
nd songs while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to 8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to
reduce the complexity and confusion in trying
to locate a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl
extension (other le extensions might
not work).
257

Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or
a combination of a large number of les
and folders, or playlists can cause the player
to be unable to play up to the maximum
number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play a large number of les,
folders, playlists, or sessions, minimize
the length of the le, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc
can cause the disc not to function in the
player.
Change playlists by using the previous and next
folder buttons, the tuner knob, or the seek buttons.
An MP3 CD-R that was recorded using no le
folders can also be played. If a CD-R contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
and 255 les, the player lets you access and
navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum cannot be accessed.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory displays as F1 ROOT. All
les contained directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) are always accessed
before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in
the le structure that contains only
folders/subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.
