Supported Media Players, Formats and Metadata Information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any digital media player, including
iPod®, Zune™, plays from device players, and most USB drives.
Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.
It is also able to organize your indexed media from your playing device
by metadata tags. Metadata tags, which are descriptive software
identifiers embedded in the media files, provide information about the
file.
464MyFord Touch® (If Equipped)
2015 Expedition(exd)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, July 2014
USA(fus)
Page 466 of 564

If your indexed media files contain no information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNC may classify the empty metadata tags as
Unknown.
In order to playback video from your iPod® or iPhone®, (if compatible),
you MUST have a special combination USB/RCA composite video cable
(which you can buy from Apple®). When the cable is connected to your
iPod® or iPhone®, plug the other end into both the RCA jacks and the
USB port.
Bluetooth Audio
Your system allows you to stream audio over your vehicle’s speakers from
your connected, Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone.
To access, press the lower left corner on the touchscreen, then
select theBT Stereotab.
Bluetooth Audio Voice Commands
If you are listening to a Bluetooth audio device, press the voice
button on the steering wheel control. When prompted, say
“Next song”, “Pause”, “Play” or “Previous song”.
If you are not listening to a Bluetooth audio device, press the voice
button and, after the tone, say “Bluetooth Audio”, then “Next song”,
“Pause”, “Play” or “Previous song”.
Line In (Auxiliary Input Jack)
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, crash and injury. We strongly recommend that you use
extreme caution when using any device that may take your focus off
the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your
vehicle. We recommend against the use of any hand-held device while
driving and encourage the use of voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable local laws that may affect the
use of electronic devices while driving.
WARNING:For safety reasons, do not connect or adjust the
settings on your portable music player while your vehicle is
moving.

WARNING:Store the portable music player in a secure location,
such as the center console or the glove box, when your vehicle is
in motion. Hard objects may become projectiles in a crash or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious injury. The audio extension
cable must be long enough to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while your vehicle is moving.
The auxiliary input jack allows you to
connect and play music from your
portable music player through your
vehicle speakers. You can use any portable
music player designed for use with
headphones. Your audio extension cable
must have male
1 8-inch (3.5 millimeter)
connectors at each end.
1. Switch off the engine, radio and portable music player. Set the
parking brake and put the transmission in positionP.
2. Plug the extension cable from the portable music player into the
auxiliary input jack.
3. Switch the radio on. Select either a tuned FM station or a CD.
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Switch your portable music player on and adjust its volume to half its
maximum level.
6. PressAUXuntilLINEorLINE INappears in the display. You
should hear music from your device even if it is low.
7. Adjust the volume on your portable music player until it reaches the
volume level of the FM station or CD. Do this by switching back and
forth between the AUX and FM or CD controls.
Troubleshooting
•Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. The jack
only works correctly with devices that have a headphone output with
a volume control.
•Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is
necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio as this causes
distortion and reduces sound quality.
•If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the
portable music player volume down. If the problem persists, replace or
recharge the batteries in the portable media player.
•Control the portable media player in the same manner when used with
headphones, as the auxiliary input jack does not provide control (such
as Play or Pause) over the attached portable media player.
