Frequently Asked Questions
I insert a PC card with music files, but the CARD button or
navigation “PC Card” voice comm ands do not work. What’s
wrong? After inserting the card, a delay of
up to 30 seconds may be required to
read the tag information (album, artist , and track names) - this is normal.
Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3 music format. Other formats are not recognized.
Some downloaded WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require
that the copyright authentication f iles accompany the MP3/WMA files on
the Card.
Media types and capacities continue to grow. As a rule, stick to Compact Flash or SD media with ca pacities of 2GB or less. Other types of media or
larger capacities may work, but have not been tested.
Single-type media PC Card adapto rs are recommended over multimedia-
type adaptors.
Ensure that there are files on the car d. For SD and other media with a
write-lock switch, ensure that the write protect is off when adding files to
the card.
The system only recogni zes FAT and FAT-32 file format for the media.
Some of the files on the PC card will not play, or I have an
eight GB card with 2500 s ongs, but only 999 play. Why is
this? The quantity of tracks is limited to
999 tracks and a file structure of up to
eight folder levels deep. Tracks beyond 999 are simply not recognized.
Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3 music format. Other formats are not recognized.
When I eject the media chip but leave the empty adaptor in
the PC card slot, the display door will not close. Why is this? To prevent damage to the display mechanism or your PC card/media chip,
the system checks for a partially inserted PC card and a partially inserted
media chip. Always remove the PC ca
rd and media chip when not in use.
The media card will not fully in sert into the PC card slot.
What is wrong? The PC card edge connector or the pins
in the back of PC card slot may be
damaged.
Never force the card into the slot - the adaptor card should glide smoothly into the slot. See your dealer if the problem persists.
