MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA les are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA 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 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).
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
Scand
cTfolder buttons, theaknob, or the SEEK arrows.
An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
using no le folders can also be played. 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 cannot be accessed.
3-112

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 the folder up buttons
search playlists (Px) rst and then goes 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 play 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.
Playlists can be changed by pressing
the
ScandcTfolder buttons,
the
aknob, or the SEEK arrows.
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 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 has been chosen as the default
display. The new track name displays.
3-113

File System and Naming
The song name that displays 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 using
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. Playlists
must have a le extension of PLS, M3U, or WPL.
Playlists can be changed by using the
Scand
cTfolder buttons, theaknob, or the SEEK arrows.
Tracks cannot be changed. Songs are played
sequentially; press the
sREV or\FWD to reverse
or advance through the currently playing song.
Playing an MP3/WMA
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW partway into the slot (Single

be removed. If it is not removed, after several seconds,
the CD-R or CD-RW automatically pulls back into
the player and begins playing.
For the Six-Disc CD player, press and hold this button
for two seconds to eject all discs.
a(Tune):Turn this knob to select MP3/WMA les on
the CD-R currently playing.
3-114

Once the disc has scanned, the player defaults to
playing MP3/WMA 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
have played, the player moves to the next artist in
alphabetical order on the CD-R or CD-RW and begins
playing MP3/WMA les by that artist. If you want to
listen to MP3/WMA les by another artist, press
the pushbutton located below either arrow button. The
CD goes to the next or previous artist in alphabetical
order. Continue pressing either button until the desired
artist displays.
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 displays on the second
line between the arrows and songs from the currentalbum begins to play. Once all songs from that album
have played, the player moves to the next album in
alphabetical order on the CD-R or CD-RW and begins
playing MP3/WMA les from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the button below
the Back label to return to normal MP3/WMA playback.
BAND:Press this button to listen to the radio when

when a CD is in the player. Press this button again and
the system automatically searches for an auxiliary
input device such as a portable audio player. If a
portable audio player is not connected, “No Aux Input
Device Found” displays.

TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication code.
Any time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or replace one or
more of the TPMS sensors, the identication codes will
need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position. The
sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positions in the
following order: driver side front tire, passenger side front
tire, passenger side rear tire, and driver side rear tire
using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your dealer/retailer
for service.
The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s
air pressure. If increasing the tire’s air pressure, do
not exceed the maximum ination pressure indicated
on the tire’s sidewall.
To decrease air-pressure out of a tire you can use the
pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure
gage, or a key.
You have two minutes to match the rst tire/wheel
position, and ve minutes overall to match all
four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than
two minutes, to match the rst tire and wheel, or more
than ve minutes to match all four tire and wheel
positions the matching process stops and you need
to start over.The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
3. Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter’s
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time
for approximately ve seconds. The horn sounds
twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode
and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message displays
on the DIC screen.
4. Start with the driver side front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for ve seconds,
or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp,
which may take up to 30 seconds to sound,
conrms that the sensor identication code has
been matched to this tire and wheel position.
