This system supports various USB memory
sticks, USB hard drives and iPod®players.
There are some USB devices which may not be
supported with this system.
. Make sure that the USB device is connected
correctly into the USB connector.
. Do not force the memory stick or USB cable
into the USB connector. This could damage
the connector. .
During cold weather or rainy days, the player
may malfunction due to humidity. If this
occurs, remove the USB device and dehu-
midify or ventilate the USB player comple-
tely.
. The USB player sometimes cannot function
when the passenger compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high. Decrease the tem-
perature before use.
. Do not leave USB memory in a place prone
to static electricity or where the air condi-
tioner blows directly. The data in the USB
memory may be damaged.
. The vehicle is not equipped with a USB
memory stick.
. A USB device cannot be formatted with this
system. To format a USB device, use a
personal computer.
. Partitioned USB devices may not be played
correctly.
. Some characters used in other languages
(Chinese, Japanese, etc.) are not displayed
properly on the vehicle center screen. Using
English language characters with a USB
device is recommended.
. Do not connect a USB device if a connector
or cable is wet. Allow the cable and/or
connectors to dry completely before con-
necting the USB device. If the connector is exposed to fluids other than water, evapora-
tive residue may cause a short between the
connector pins.
. Large video podcast files cause slow
responses in an iPod
®. The vehicle center
display may momentarily black out, but it will
soon recover.
. If an iPod
®automatically selects large video
podcast files while in the shuffle mode, the

Troubleshooting guide:
SymptomCause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc or USB device was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the
player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will
be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3 (.mp3)”, “.WMA (.wma)”, “.AAC (.aac)”, “.M4A (.m4a)”, or “.AA3 (.aa3)” cannot be played. In
addition, the character codes and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the
specifications.
Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of
compressed audio writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc or USB device is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
It takes a relatively long time before
the music starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the disc or USB device, some time may be required before the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not
match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next song
when playing. If an unsupported compressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited by copyright
protection, the player will skip to the next song.
The songs do not play back in the
desired order. The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software, so the files might not play in the desired order.
Random/Shuffle may be active on the audio system or on a USB device.

Compressed Video Files (models with
navigation system)
Explanation of terms:
.DivX®- DivX®refers to the DivX®codec
owned by DivX, Inc. used for a lossy

It is a standard file format originated by
Microsoft Corporation. A “.divx” encoded file
can be saved into the “.avi” file format for
playback on this system if it meets the
requirements stated in the table in this
section. However, not all the “.avi” files are
playable on this system since different
encodings can be used than the DivX
®
codec.
. ASF - ASF stands for Advanced Systems
Format. It is a file format owned by Microsoft
Corporation. Note: Only “.asf” files that meet
the requirements stated in the table in this
section can be played.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital video file.
The size and quality of a compressed digital
audio file is determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file. Requirement for Supporting Video Playback:
