Voice command guide
“Similar Music”The system compiles a playlist and then plays
similar music to what is currently playing
from the USB port using indexed metadata
information.
“Search/Play
Artist/Track/Album”The system searches for a specific
artist/track/album from the music indexed
through the USB port.
“Refine”This allows you to make your previous
command more specific. For example, if you
asked to search and play all music by a
certain artist, you could then say “refine
album” and choose a specific album from the
list to view. If you then select Play, the system
only plays music from that specific album.
Press the voice icon and when prompted say “Bluetooth Audio” and then
any of the following:
“BLUETOOTH AUDIO”
“(Phone) (Media) (Bluetooth) Connections”
“Pause”
“Play”

When you select: You can:
Select SourceSYNC USB:Press OK to access music plugged
into your USB port. You can also plug in devices to
charge them (if supported by your device). Once
connected, the system indexes any readable media
files. (The time required to complete this depends
on the size of the media content being indexed.) If
Autoplay is on, you can access media files
randomly as they are indexed. If turned off,
indexed media is not available until the indexing
process is complete. SYNC is capable of indexing
thousands of average size media and notifies you if
the maximum indexing file size is reached.
Bluetooth Audio: This is a phone-dependent
feature which allows you to stream music playing
on your Bluetooth-enabled phone. If supported by
your device, you can press SEEK to play the
previous or next track.
SYNC Line In:Press OK to select and play music
from your portable music player over the vehicle’s
speakers.
Note:If you have already connected a device to
the USB port, you cannot access the line in
feature. Some digital media players require both
USB and line in ports to stream data and music
separately.
