Wireless & Internet Your system has a Wi-Fi feature
that creates a wireless network
within your vehicle, thereby
allowing other devices (such as personal

speak to each other, share files or play games. Using this Wi-Fi feature, everyone
in your vehicle can also access the internet

Supported Media Players, Formats
and Metadata Information
SYNC is 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.
It is also able to organize your indexed
media from your playing device by
metadata tags. Metadata tags, which are
descriptive software identifiers embedded
in the media files, provide information
about the file.
If your indexed media files contain no
information embedded in these metadata
tags, SYNC may classify the empty
metadata tags as unknown.
Bluetooth Audio
The system allows you to stream audio
over your vehicle's speakers from your

WARNINGS
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any handheld device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. For safety reasons, do not connect
or adjust the settings on your
portable music player while your
vehicle is moving.

WARNINGS
Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when your
vehicle is moving. Hard objects may
become projectiles in a crash or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious
injury. The audio extension cable must be
long enough to allow the portable music
player to be safely stored while your
vehicle is moving. Your auxiliary input jack allows you to play
music from your portable music player over
your vehicle's speakers. The jack is located
in your center console.
Press the lower left corner of the
touchscreen, and then select Line In.
To use the auxiliary input jack feature,
make sure that your portable music player
is designed for use with headphones and
that it is fully charged. You also need an
audio extension cable with stereo male
1/8-inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors at
both ends.
1. Switch off the radio and portable music
player. Apply the parking brake and
shift the transmission into park (P) for
automatic transmission or first gear for
manual transmission. Switch the
ignition off. 2.
Attach one end of the audio extension
cable to the headphone output of your
player and the other end into the
adapter in one of the jack inside the
center console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned FM
station or a CD (if there is a CD already
loaded into the system).
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to ½ the maximum.
6. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the
Line In tab.
(You should hear audio from your
portable music player although it may
be low.)
7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level
of the FM station or CD by switching
back and forth between the controls.
Troubleshooting
• Do not connect the audio input jack to
a line level output. The jack only works
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 causes distortion and
reduces sound quality.
• If the music sounds distorted at lower
listening levels, turn the portable music
player volume down. If the problem
persists, replace or recharge the
batteries in the portable media player.
• Control the portable media player in
the same manner when used with
headphones, as the auxiliary input jack
does not provide control (such as Play
or Pause) over the attached portable
media player.

Hands-free calling is one of the main
features of SYNC. Once you pair your cell
phone, you can access many options using
the touchscreen or voice commands. While
the system supports a variety of features,
many are dependent on your cell phone ’s
functionality.
At a minimum, most cell phones with
Bluetooth wireless technology support the
following functions:
• Answering an incoming call.
• Ending a call. •
Using privacy mode.
• Dialing a number.
• Redialing.
• Call waiting notification.
• Caller ID.
Other features, such as text messaging
using Bluetooth and automatic phonebook
download, are cell phone-dependent
features. To check your cell phone ’s
compatibility, see your cell phone ’s user
manual and visit www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
