Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.
SYNCis 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. SYNCsupports the following metadata tags:
•Artist
•Album
•Genre
•Track
If your indexed media files contain no information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNCwill automatically classify the empty metadata tags
as UNKNOWN.

Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port. (For exact location, refer to
your vehicle’sOwner’s guide).You can use the USB port to plug in and
access media devices as well as charge devices (if supported by your

supported by your device), SYNCwill not automatically change media
modes when something is initially plugged into the USB port. To access:
