Using the Auxiliary Input Jack(s)
Your radio system has an auxiliary input jack
located on the lower right side of the faceplate.
This is not an audio output; do not plug the
headphone set into the front auxiliary input jack.
You can however, connect an external audio
device such as an iPod, laptop computer,
MP3 player, CD player, or cassette tape player,
etc. to the auxiliary input jack for use as another
source for audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary
device while the vehicle is in PARK (P).
SeeDefensive Driving on page 330for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a
1/8 inch (3.5 mm) cable to the radio’s front
auxiliary input jack. When a device is connected,
the radio automatically begins playing audio
from the device over the vehicle speakers.
To listen to a device through the rear auxiliary
input over the speakers, cycle the DVD/CD Aux
button on the radio faceplate until “Rear Aux Input”
displays on the radio. The RSA or DVD Screen
must be on in order for the radio to source to
rear auxiliary.
294

O(Power/Volume):Turn this knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the

sources and not indicate “No aux input device”.
If a front auxiliary device is connected, the
DVD/CD AUX button cycles through all available
options, such as: DVD slot, CD slot, Front
Auxiliary, and Rear Auxiliary (if available).See “Using the Auxiliary Input Jack(s)” later in this
section, or “Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks” under,
Rear Seat Entertainment System on page 311for
more information.
Using an MP3 (Radio with CD or
Six-Disc CD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3/WMA les that were recorded
on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The les can be
recorded with the following xed 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, and 320 kbps or a variable
bit rate. Song title, artist name, and album
are available for display by the radio when
recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and
MP3/WMA les. By default the radio shows the
MP3 label on the left side of the screen but
plays both le formats in the order in which
they were recorded to the disc.
295

MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA les are recorded
on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA
les on one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a
maximum of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and
a combined total of 512 folders and les.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
nd songs while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to eight subfolders deep, however, keep the
total number of folders to a minimum in
order to reduce the complexity and confusion
in trying to locate a particular folder during
playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl
extension (other le extensions might
not work).
Minimize the length of the le, folder, or
playlist names. Long le, folder, or playlist
names, or a combination of a large number of
les and folders, or playlists can cause the
player to be unable to play up to the maximum
number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play a large number of les,
folders, playlists or sessions, minimize
the length of the le, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc
might cause the disc not to function in
the player.
Playlists can be changed by using the previous
and next folder buttons, the tuner knob, or
the seek buttons. An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW
that was recorded can also be played using no
le folders. If a CD-R or CD-RW contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 15 playlists,
and a combined total of 512 folders and les,
the player lets you access and navigate up to the
maximum, but all items over the maximum are
not accessible.
296

Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is
treated as a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio les, the directory is displayed
as the CD label. All les contained directly
under the root directory are accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px)
are always accessed before root folders or les.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA) and MP3/WMA les, a folder under
the root directory called CD accesses all of
the CD audio tracks on the disc.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere
in the le structure that contains only folders/
subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only
compressed les, the les are located under the
root folder. The next and previous folder function
does not display on a CD-R or CD-RW that
was recorded without folders or playlists.
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only playlists
and compressed audio les, but no folders, all les
are located under the root folder. The folder down
and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) rst
and then goes to the root folder.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW are
played in the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst playlist.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
folder and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track of
the last folder has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst folder.
297

When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name unless
you have chosen the folder mode as the default
display. The new track name displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is
not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays
the le name without the extension (such
as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four
pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the
lename does not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however, they cannot
be edited using the radio. These playlists are
treated as special folders containing compressed
audio song les.
Playing an MP3/WMA
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW partway into the slot
(Single CD Player), or press the load button and
wait for the message to insert disc (Six-Disc
CD Player), label side up. The player pulls it in,
and the CD-R or CD-RW should begin playing.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD-R
or CD-RW in the player, it stays in the player.
When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD-R
or CD-RW starts to play where it stopped, if it
was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number
and song title displays.
If playing a CD-R or CD-RW, the sound quality
can be reduced due to CD-R or CD-RW quality,
the method of recording, the quality of the
music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R or CD-RW has been handled. There can
be an increase in skipping, difficulty in nding
tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting.
