Frequently Asked Questions
I insert a PC card with music files, but the CARD button or
navigation “PC Card” voice commands 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 (a lbum, artist, and track names) - this is normal.
• Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3
music format. Other form ats are not recognized.
• Some downloaded WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require that the copyright authentication files accompany the MP3/WMA files on
the Card.
• Media types and capacities continue to grow. As a rule, stick to Co mpact
Flash or SD media with capacities of 2GB or less. Other types of me dia 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 card. For SD and other media with a
write-lock switch, ensure that the writ e protect is off when adding files to
the card.
• The system only recognizes 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 songs, 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 be yond 999 are simply not recognized.
• Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3
music format. Other form ats are not recognized.
When I eject the media chip bu t 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 insert
ed PC card and a partially inserted
media chip. Always remove the PC car d and media chip when not in use.
The media card will not fully insert 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.
