Infotainment System


Creating an MP3/WMA Disc When creating a MP3/WMA disc: . Make sure the MP3/WMA files


are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.


. Do not mix standard audio and


MP3/WMA files on one disc. . Make sure the CD does not


have more than a maximum of 50 folders and playlists, and 255 files to read and play.


. Create a folder structure that


makes it easy to find songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album. Each folder or album should contain 18 songs or less.


. Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to 8 subfolders deep, keep the total number of folders to a minimum to reduce the complexity and confusion during playback.


. Create playlists that have a .m3u


or .wpl extension, other file extensions may not work.


. Minimize the length of the file, folder or playlist names. Long file, folder, or playlist names, or a combination of a large number of files and folders, or playlists can cause the player to be unable to play up to the maximum number of files, folders, playlists, or sessions. Finalize the audio disc before burning it. Adding music to an existing disc can cause the disc not to function.


Playlists can be selected by using the previous and next folder buttons, the SEEK arrows, \ FWD, or s REV buttons. An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded using no file folders can also be played. If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more than the maximum of 50 folders and playlists, and 255 files, the player lets you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum are not accessible.


The HDD Radio can support more than 255 files on an MP3/WMA disc. The HDD Radio does not support playlists on a disc or USB storage device.


Root Directory The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio files, the directory displays as F1 DISC. All files contained directly under the root directory are accessed prior to any root directory folders. Playlists (Px) are always accessed after root folders or files. The HDD Radio displays the root directory of an MP3/WMA disc as F1 MP3 and the root directory of a USB storage device as F1 USB.


Empty Directory or Folder If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the file structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed files directly beneath them, the player advances to the next folder in the file structure that contains compressed audio files.


No Folder When the CD contains only compressed files, the files are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions do not display on a CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. The radio displays F1 DISC for the root directory. When the CD contains only playlists and compressed audio files, but no folders, all files are located under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) first and then goes to the root folder. The radio displays F1 DISC for the root directory.


Order of Play Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW play in the following order: . Play begins from the first track in


the first folder and continues sequentially through all tracks in each folder. When the last track of the last folder has played, play continues from the first track of the first playlist. ‐ Playlists can be changed by


pressing the next and previous folder button.


. Play begins from the first track in


the first playlist and continues sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has played, play continues from the first track of the first folder.

Connecting an iPod To connect the iPod, connect one end of the special iPod connection cable to the iPod’s dock connector. Connect the other end to both the USB port and the auxiliary input jack located in the center console. The USB port and the auxiliary input jack are located in the center console bin. If the vehicle is on and the USB connection works, a GM logo may appear on the iPod. The iPod's music information will be shown on the radio’s display and the music begins playing through the vehicles audio system. The iPod's battery charges while it is connected to the vehicle and if the ignition is turned to ACC/ ACCESSORY or ON/RUN. It can also be left connected to the vehicle after the vehicle is turned off. With the vehicle turned off, the iPod will automatically be powered off and will not charge or draw power from the vehicle's battery.


A standard iPod USB cable, like the one that came with the iPod, cannot be used to connect an iPod to the vehicle. The special iPod connection cable that came equipped with the vehicle or that was made available from your dealer/retailer must be used to command and control an iPod. Use a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) stereo cable to connect an older iPod model that is not supported, or if the special iPod connection cable is missing. Command and control of the iPod using the infotainment control buttons and knobs is not supported when only a 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) stereo cable is used.


Commanding and Controlling an iPod An iPod™ can be controlled by using the radio buttons and knobs; the song information shows on the infotainment system's display.


To connect and control the iPod using the radio controls, use the special iPod connection cable that came as standard equipment with the vehicle as part of the USB option. The special iPod connection cable can also be purchased or made available, from your dealer/ retailer. See your dealer/retailer for more information. Use the Menu/Select knob to bring up the iPod Menu and select Songs, Artists, Albums, Playlists and Audio books to play from the iPod.


Disconnecting an iPod To properly dismount the iPod USB device before disconnecting from the vehicle, press the softkey under the EJECT tab on the infotainment display screen during iPod playback.


Phone


Bluetooth Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth capable cell phone with a Hands Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The system can be used while the ignition is in ON/RUN or ACC/ ACCESSORY position. The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 30 ft. (9.1 m). Not all phones support all functions, and not all phones are guaranteed to work with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information on compatible phones. Voice Recognition The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags.


Noise: Keep interior noise levels to a minimum. The system may not recognize voice commands if there is too much background noise. When to Speak: A short tone sounds after the system responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice command. Wait until the tone and then speak. How to Speak: Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice. Audio System When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth system, sound comes through the vehicle's front audio system speakers and over-rides the audio system. Use the audio system volume knob, during a call, to change the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later calls. To prevent missed calls, a minimum volume level is used if the volume is turned down too low.
