Indexing:A process in which SYNC builds a voice recognition grammar
for the media content of your digital media player. While indexing, SYNC
will play already indexed media if Autoplay is on. However, voice
recognition is not available for the media until the indexing process is
complete.
Metadata: Descriptive tags embedded in your digital media which
provide SYNC with information such as ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE and
TRACK.
Pairing: To use your Bluetoothenabled cellular phone with SYNC, you
must go through a pairing (bonding) process. “Pairing” is a special
process used when two devices connect for the first time. The pairing
process is used to generate a link key that is used for authentication
purposes during subsequent Bluetoothconnections between the two
devices.
PIN (Personal Identification number): This six digit number
(sometimes referred to as a passkey) will be shown in the radio display
during the pairing process with your Bluetoothenabled device. You do
not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that
specific pairing procedure.
POI: Point(s) Of Interest
PROV: Province
PTY: Program Type
RDS: Radio Data System
SAT: Satellite Radio
SCV: Speed Compensated Volume
Smart Speller: Feature that provides a number of available candidates
matching partial input entered by the user.
Touchscreen: A touch-sensitive screen that lets the user make choices
by touching icons or graphical buttons on the screen.
Waypoint: An intermediate stop or destination before the final
destination.

iPod , Zune™, “Plays from device” players, and most USB drives.
Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.

playing device by metadata tags. Metadata tags are descriptive software
identifiers embedded in your media files which provide information about
the media file. SYNC supports the following metadata tags:

metadata tags, SYNC will automatically classify the empty metadata tags
as UNKNOWN.
