Problem Solution
I insert a CD-R with music files, but the CD button or “CD” • After inserting a CD-R with WMA or MP3 files, a slight delay may occur
voice commands do not work. What is wrong? before the CD button operates. The system needs to read the tag
information (album, artist, and track names) to allow searches - this is
normal.
• Ensure that the music files on the CD-R are WMA or MP3 format. Other
formats are not recognized.
• Some WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require that the
copyright authentication files accompany the MP3/WMA files on the CD.
Note:
Never use CD-R discs with stick-on labels. The labels can curl and
jam the CD mechanism, requiring replacement of the navigation unit
and subsequent loss of all personal information.
Rear Camera
Problem Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do I While the camera image is displayed, use the Zoom In/Zoom Out controls to
adjust the brightness? adjust the brightness. This adjustment does not affect the Setup screen
