Using an MP3
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 and WMA files that were recordedon a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The files can be recordedwith the following fixed 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, and320 kbps or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist name,and album can display when files are recorded usingID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain bothuncompressed CD audio (.CDA files) and MP3/WMAfiles. By default the radio reads only the uncompressedaudio and ignores the MP3/WMA files. Pressing theCAT button toggles between compressed anduncompressed audio format.
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personalcomputer:
•Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
•Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA files on
one disc.
•The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 files.
•Create a folder structure that makes it easy to find
songs while driving. Organize songs by albumsusing one folder for each album. Each folderor album should contain 18 songs or less.
•Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
8 subfolders deep, however, keep the totalnumber of folders to a minimum in order to reducethe complexity and confusion in trying to locatea particular folder during playback.
4-102

•Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension
(other file extensions might not work).
•Minimize the length of the file, folder or playlist
names. Long file, folder, or playlist names, or acombination of a large number of files and folders,or playlists can cause the player to be unable toplay up to the maximum number of files, folders,playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play alarge number of files, folders, playlists, or sessions,minimize the length of the file, folder, or playlistname. Long names also take up more space on thedisplay, potentially getting cut off.
•Finalize the audio disc before you burn it. Trying to
add music to an existing disc can cause the discnot to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using theScandcT
folder buttons, theaknob, or the SEEK arrows. An
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded using nofile folders can also be played. If a CD-R or CD-RWcontains more than the maximum of 50 folders,50 playlists, and 255 files, the player lets you accessand navigate up to the maximum, but all items over themaximum cannot be accessed.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is treated asa folder. If the root directory has compressed audiofiles, the directory displays as F1 ROOT. All filescontained directly under the root directory are accessedprior to any root directory folders. However, playlists(Px) are always accessed before root folders or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in thefile structure that contains only folders/subfolders and nocompressed files directly beneath them, the playeradvances to the next folder in the file structurethat contains compressed audio files. The empty folderdoes not display.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed files, the filesare located under the root folder. The next and previousfolder functions do not display on a CD that wasrecorded without folders or playlists. When displayingthe name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and compressedaudio files, but no folders, all files are located under theroot folder. The folder down and the folder up buttonssearch playlists (Px) first and then goes to the rootfolder. When the radio displays the name of the folderthe radio displays ROOT.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur duringnormal radio reception if items such as cell phonechargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and externalelectronic devices are plugged into the accessorypower outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug theitem from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,especially at night. The longer range can cause stationfrequencies to interfere with each other. For better radioreception, most AM radio stations boost the power levelsduring the day, and then reduce these levels during thenight. Static can also occur when things like storms andpower lines interfere with radio reception. When thishappens, try reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about 10 to 40 miles(16 to 65 km). Although the radio has a built-in electroniccircuit that automatically works to reduce interference,some static can occur, especially around tall buildings orhills, causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio receptionfrom coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States,and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills caninterfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound tofade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing underheavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may causeloss of the XM signal for a period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference with thevehicle’s radio. This interference may occur whenmaking or receiving phone calls, charging the phone’sbattery, or simply having the phone on. This interferencecauses an increased level of static while listening tothe radio. If static is received while listening to the radio,unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.

Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the rear windowdefogger, located in the rear window. Make sure that theinside surface of the rear window is not scratched andthat the lines on the glass are not damaged. If the insidesurface is damaged, it could interfere with radioreception. For proper radio reception, the antennaconnector needs to be properly attached to the post onthe glass.
If a cellular telephone antenna needs to be attached tothe glass, make sure that the grid lines for the AM-FMantenna are not damaged. There is enough spacebetween the grid lines to attach a cellular telephoneantenna without interfering with radio reception.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object to clearthe inside rear window can damage the rearwindow antenna and/or the rear window defogger.Repairs would not be covered by the vehiclewarranty. Do not clear the inside rear window withsharp objects.
Notice:Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting withmetallic film. The metallic film in some tintingmaterials will interfere with or distort the incomingradio reception. Any damage caused to yourbackglass antenna due to metallic tinting materialswill not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof ofthe vehicle. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions forclear radio reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of theXM system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
