Getting Started
Using the On-screen
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you, the display changes to a keyboard. Use the displayed letters to enter the information. Enter each letter by one of the following methods:
• Using the voice control system, say the desired letter on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired letter using the joystick, then push in on the joystick.
• Touch the desired le tter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using “spell mode,” you can substitute the name that represents each letter or symbol. This improves recognition. The system will only re spond to the names shown in the following graphic. For example:
• To select the letter “A”: Say, “ A”; “ Alpha”; or “Apple.”
• To select the letter “M”: Say, “ M”; “ Mike”; or “Mary.”
The names that can be used for each lette r are shown below. For additional keyboard symbols, see page 146.

Customer Assistance
PC Card Operation
A PC card with WMA or MP3 audio files can be played through the audio system and controlled using the navigation voice control system. PC card (PCMCIA) adaptors and various media chips can be purchased at any computer store. Tested media chips include Compact Flash and SD media, up to 2GB. Other media types and storage capacities may work, but have not been tested. Hard disc drive type media are not recommended because they can fail in a hot vehicle. See the FAQs section for additional information.
Inserting the PC Card
Ensure that the PCMCIA PC card adaptor contains th e media chip, and that the card adaptor is fully inserted in the slot, otherwise the display door will not close. Once the card is inserted and the door closed, ther e is a delay while the system reads the tag information (the folders, song titles, etc.). Once the tag information is read, the “CARD” or “TRACK LIST” buttons will function. For more information on the search feature, see the audio section of your Owner’s Manual.
Voice Control of PC Card
Functions
The navigation voice control system can be used to select the first 30 tracks directly by using the command, “Card play track X” (X=1-30). Additional voice commands allow the card tracks, artists, and albums to be played in a random, repeat, or scan mode. See the complete list of “Card” voice commands starting on page 144.
CD/CD-R Operation
A CD or a burned CD-R with MP3 or WMA media files can be played by the audio system and controlled using navigation voice commands. The display door will not close with a partially inserted CD in the slot. Once the display closes, there may be a slight delay before the “CD” or “TRACK LIST” buttons function. This is because the system has to read the tag information (artist, album, and track names) to allow searches to function. For more information on the search feature, see the audio section of your Owner’s Manual.
NOTE:
Ensure that burned CD-R discs do not have “stick-on” paper labels. The label adhesive can melt in a hot vehicle, and allow the label to curl up and jam the CD mechanism. Use a felt-tipped marker to label your CD-R discs.
