2009 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR USB port

Supported media players, formats and metadata information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any digital media player, including
iPod , Zune™, “Plays from device” players, and most USB drives.
Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.
SYNC is also able to organize and sort your indexed media from your
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:
• Artist
• Album
• Genre
• Track
If your indexed media files contain no information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNC will automatically classify the empty metadata tags
as UNKNOWN.
ACCESSING AND USING YOUR USB PORT
Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port. (For exact location, refer to
your vehicle’s Owner’s guide). You can use the USB port to plug in and
access media devices as well as charge devices (if supported by your
device). For a list of compatible media players, refer to
www.SyncMyRide.com.
Note: Since your USB port allows you to charge your device (if
supported by your device), SYNC will not automatically change media
modes when something is initially plugged into the USB port. To access:
1.
Ensure that your digital playing device is plugged into the USB and is ON.
2. Press MEDIA on the navigation system.
3. Select the ‘User Device’ tab.
4. Press ‘Source’ repeatedly to until
USB appears in the line above
‘Source’.

If the connected device and media content is supported, SYNC will begin
indexing available media files. NO MEDIA will appear if there are no
readable media files for SYNC to play. If there are readable files,
INDEXING may appear. If Autoplay is ON, SYNC gives you the ability to
access media files randomly as they are indexed. If Autoplay is OFF,
indexed media is not available until the indexing process is complete.
After indexing is complete, INDEXED will appear.
Once indexing is complete, you may press
/to access the
previous/next track. You may also press
/to play/pause the
current track.
Note: SYNC is capable of indexing thousands of average size media files.
The time required to complete the indexing process is dependent upon
the size of the media content being indexed and the device itself.
If at any time the device is removed from the USB port, USB REMOVED
will appear.
STREAMING MUSIC FROM YOUR BLUETOOTH ENABLED PHONE
Note: This is a phone dependent feature. Refer to your phone’s user
guide for further information on how to stream Bluetoothaudio.
