Radio/media
QWhat kinds of media and radio
functions does my system have?
AYour system is enabled to play
various radio services and audio
through various types of media
(USB, etc.). For more information,
see the corresponding chapters.
QI want to move to the previous or
next song without controlling the
screen while driving.
AUse the Search lever/button on
the steering wheel to move to the
previous or next song.
Broadcast reception
QNo sound is heard or a distorted
noise is heard when listening to the
radio while driving.
ADepending on the location, the
reception may deteriorate due to
obstacles.
Attaching a window film including
metal components to the rear
window equipped with a glass
antenna may lower radio reception.
QWhat is the range of my wireless
connection?
AA wireless connection can be used
within about 10 m (about 33 ft). The
maximum Bluetooth range may be
affected by the usage environment,
such as the vehicle type, the system
platform, or the connected mobile
phone.
QHow many mobile devices can be
paired?
AUp to six devices can be paired with
your system.
QWhy is call quality sometimes poor?
ACheck your mobile phone′s
reception sensitivity when call
quality deteriorates. The call quality
may deteriorate when the signal
strength is low.
Call quality may also become poor
if metal objects, such as beverage
cans, are placed near the mobile
phone. Check to see if any metal
objects are near the mobile phone.
The call sound and quality may
differ depending on the type of
mobile phone.
