Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 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
are available for display by the radio when recorded using
ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3 les.
By default the radio reads only the uncompressed audio
and ignore the MP3 les. Pressing the CAT (category)
button toggles between compressed and uncompressed
audio format.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on
one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les.
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
eight 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 may not work.
3-70
ProCarManuals.com

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.
Playlists can be changed by using the previous and
next folder buttons, the tune knob, or the SEEK arrows.
You can also play an MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was
recorded using no le folders. If a CD-R or CD-RW
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 are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW 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.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed les, the les
are located under the root folder. The next and previous
folder functions do not display on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and compressed
audio les, but no folders, all les are located under
the root folder. The folder down and up buttons searches
playlists (Px) rst and then go to the root folder.
When the radio displays the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.

Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW are played in
the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst playlist
and continues sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist
has played, play continues from the rst track of
the rst playlist.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst folder
and continues sequentially through all tracks in each
folder. When the last track of the last folder has been
played, play continues from the rst track of the rst
folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display does not
automatically show the new folder name unless
the folder mode is chosen as the default display.
The new track name displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed is the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the le
name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
are shortened. Parts of words on the last page of
text and the extension of the lename does not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created by
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software
can be accessed, however, they cannot be edited
using the radio. These playlists are treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song les.
Playing an MP3
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW partway into the slot (Single
CD Player), or press the
^button and wait for the
message to insert disc (Six-Disc CD Player), label side
up. The player pulls it in, and the CD-R or CD-RW
should begin playing.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD-R or
CD-RW in the player, it stays in the player. When the
ignition or radio is turned on, the CD-R or CD-RW starts
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 displays.
ZEJECT:Press and release to eject the CD-R or
CD-RW that is playing. A beep sounds and Ejecting Disc

XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition,
traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges,
garages, or through tunnels could cause loss of the
XM signal for a period of time. The radio may display
NO XM SIGNAL to indicate interference.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The xed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged. If the mast should ever become
slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If the mast is badly
bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened to the antenna base. If tightening is required,
tighten by hand.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of the vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the
XM™ system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of the vehicle can interfere
with the performance of the XM™ system. Make
sure the XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is not obstructed.

Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS)
that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only
if it senses that one or both of the front wheels
are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this
happens, the system reduces engine power to limit
wheel spin. You may feel or hear the system working,
but this is normal.
This light will ash
when your traction
control system is
limiting wheel spin.
The traction control system automatically comes
on whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel
spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you
should always leave the system on. But you can turn
the traction control system off if you ever need to.
You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever
gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow and rocking the
vehicle is required. SeeRocking Your Vehicle to Get
It Out on page 4-22andIf Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand,
Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 4-21for more information.The TCS button
is located on the
instrument panel.
Press this button briey to turn off the TCS. The
TCS warning light will be displayed on the instrument
panel. The traction control system can be activated
again by pressing the traction control button.
If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press
the button, the system will not turn off until there is
no longer a current need to limit wheel spin. You can
turn the system back on at any time by pressing
the button again. If the TCS light does not come on,
you may not have traction control and your vehicle
should be serviced at a dealer/retailer.
Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect
your vehicle’s performance. SeeAccessories and
Modifications on page 5-3for more information.
