Supported media players, formats and metadata information
SYNCis 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.
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.
ACCESSING AND USING YOUR USB PORT
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
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), SYNCwill 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 the MEDIA hard button on the system.

INDEXING may appear. If Autoplay is ON, SYNCgives 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

files. The time required to complete the indexing process is dependent

will appear.
