USB

Playing from a USB A USB mass storage or Certified Windows Vista®/Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) device can be connected to the USB port. The USB port is in the center console under the armrest. The USB icon displays when the USB device is connected.

USB Media Formats The USB port will support the following media formats: . MP3
. Unprotected WMA . Unprotected AAC Other formats may be supported. Gracenote® Gracenote technology embedded into the radio helps manage and navigate the USB device music collection. When a USB device is connected to the radio, Gracenote identifies the music collection and delivers the correct album, artist name, genres, and cover art on the screen. If information is missing, Gracenote will fill it in.

Searching Music Library Using Voice Recognition Voice Recognition: Gracenote improves music search and navigation by identifying bands, artists, and albums names that may

be hard to pronounce, irregular spellings, and nicknames. For example, Gracenote helps the system understand artist names like “INXS” or “Mötley Crüe.” It also allows the use of names like: “The Boss,” “G.N.R,” “The Fab Four,” and thousands of other famous artist nicknames as voice commands to access music. See Voice Recognition on page 7-68. Normalization: Normalization helps to improve the voice recognition accuracy for titles that sound similar. It also helps group long lists of genres into 10 common genres. For example, there may be multiple rock genres in the media library; normalization will group all those into one rock genre. Normalization default is off.
