You operate the PC card player with
the same controls used for the radio
and the in-dash disc player. To load
or play a card, the ignition switch
must be in the ACCESSORY (I) or

cards in MP3 or WMA formats.
Depending on the format, the screen
will indicate‘‘MP3 ’’or ‘‘WMA ’’when
a card is playing. The card limit of
the player is 255 folders and 999
tracks. If the card has a complex
structure, it takes some time for the
system to begin playing it.

the recommended PC cards for the
PC card reader are: CompactFlash
Flash ATA

memory card with the appropriate
