Speed-restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too difficult to use while your
vehicle is moving so they are restricted from use unless your vehicle is
stationary.
•Screens that are too crowded with information, such as Point of
Interest reviews and ratings, Sirius Travel Link sports scores, movie
times and ski conditions.
•Any action that requires you to use a keyboard is restricted, such as
entering a navigation destination or editing information.
•All lists are limited so the user can view fewer entries (such as phone
contacts or recent phone call entries).

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.
In order to playback video from your iPod® or iPhone®, (if compatible),
you MUST have a special combination USB/RCA composite video cable
(which you can buy from Apple®). When the cable is connected to your
iPod® or iPhone®, plug the other end into both the RCA jacks and the
USB port.
Bluetooth Audio
Your system allows you to stream audio over your vehicle’s speakers from
your connected, Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone.
To access, press the lower left corner on the touchscreen, then
select theBT Stereotab.
Bluetooth Audio Voice Commands
If you are listening to a Bluetooth audio device, press the voice
button on the steering wheel control. When prompted, say
“Next song”, “Pause”, “Play” or “Previous song”.
If you are not listening to a Bluetooth audio device, press the voice
button and, after the tone, say “Bluetooth Audio”, then “Next song”,
“Pause”, “Play” or “Previous song”.
