Handling Large Amounts of Media
Content
It is expected that large amounts of
media content will be brought into
the vehicle. It may be necessary to
handle large amounts of media
content in a different way than
smaller amounts of media. The
system may limit the options of
voice recognition by not allowing
selection of files by voice at the
highest level if the number of files
exceeds the maximum limit.
Changes to voice commands due to
media content limits are:
. Files including other individual
files of all media types such as
songs, audiobook chapters,
podcast episodes, and videos.
. Album type folders including
types such as albums and
audiobooks. There are no restrictions if the
number of files and albums is fewer
than 12,000. When the number of
files connected to the system is
between 12,000 and 24,000, the
content cannot be accessed directly
with one command like
“Play
.”
The restriction is that the command
“Play Song” must be spoken first;
the system will then ask for the song
name. The reply command would be
to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album
content. If there are more than
12,000 albums, but fewer than
24,000, the content cannot be
accessed directly with one
command like, “Play name>.” The command “Play
Album” must first be spoken; the
system will then ask for the album
name. The reply would be to say the
name of the album to play.
Once the number of files has
exceeded approximately 24,000,
there is no support for accessing the
songs directly through voice
commands. There will still be

Corvette Infotainment System (3.x) (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
14097683) - 2020 - CRC - 4/22/20
42 Voice Recognition
access to the media content by
using commands for playlists,
artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited
after the number of this type of
media exceeds 12,000.
The system will provide feedback
the first time voice recognition is
initiated if it has become apparent
that any of these limits are reached
during a device initializing process.
Voice recognition performance will
degrade to some extent based on
many factors when adding large
amounts of data to recognize. If this
is the case, perhaps accessing
songs through playlists or artist
name would work better.

enter specific destination
information.

Bluetooth (Overview)
The Bluetooth-capable system can
interact with many mobile devices,
allowing:
.Placement and receipt of calls in
a hands-free mode.
. Sharing of the device’s address
book or contact list with the
vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction,
before driving, and with the vehicle
parked:
. Become familiar with the
features of the mobile device.
Organize the phone book and
contact lists clearly and delete
duplicate or rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed dial
or other shortcuts.
. Review the controls and
operation of the infotainment
system. .
Pair mobile device(s) to the
vehicle. The system may not
work with all mobile devices.
See “Pairing” later in this
section.
Vehicles with a Bluetooth system
can use a Bluetooth-capable mobile
device with a Hands-Free Profile to
make and receive phone calls. The
infotainment system and voice
recognition are used to control the
system. The system can be used
while the ignition is on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY. The range of the
Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m
(30 ft). Not all mobile devices
support all functions and not all
mobile devices work with the
Bluetooth system. See your dealer
for more information about
compatible mobile devices.
