If your indexed media files contain no information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNCmay classify the empty metadata tags as

To access,
1. Press the lower left corner of the touchscreen.
2. Then, selectA/V inputs.
To use the auxiliary input jack feature:Ensure that your portable
music player is designed to be used with headphones and that it is fully
charged. You will also need an audio extension cable with stereo male
1/8 in. (3.5 mm) connectors at one end and a RCA jack at the other.
1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio and portable device are
turned off.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output
of your player and the other end into the adaptor in one of the two left
A/V input jacks (white or red) inside the center console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned
station from the FM tab or the CD tab (if there is a CD already loaded
into the system.) Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
4. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the
volume.
5. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V in tab.
(You should hear audio from your portable music player although it may

video cable (available for purchase from Apple). Once the cable is
connected to your iPod/iPhone, plug in the other end into both the
RCA jacks and the USB port.
Troubleshooting:
•Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. The AIJ will
only work correctly with devices that have a headphone output with a
volume control.
•Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is
necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio as this will
cause distortion and will reduce sound quality.
•If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the
portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace
or recharge the batteries in the portable music player.
