reception interruptions. To help  
compensate for this, ground-based

Device  
The recommended USB flash  
memory devices are 256 MB or  
higher, and formatted with the FAT  
file system. Some digital audio  
players may be compatible as well.  
Do not keep a USB flash memory  
device in the vehicle. Direct  
sunlight and high heat will damage  
it.  
This audio system can operate the  
audio files on a USB flash memory  
device with the same controls used  
for the in-dash disc changer. To play  
a USB flash memory device, connect

this audio unit.  
Depending on the type and  
number of files, it may take some  
time before they begin to play.  
The audio system reads and plays  
the audio files on the USB flash  
memory device in MP3, WMA or  
AACformats. Depending on the  
format, the display shows MP3,  
WMA or AAC when a USB flash  
memory device is playing. The USB  
flash memory device limit is up to  
700 folders or up to 65535 files.  
NOTE:  
Do not use a device such as a card  
reader or hard drive as the device  
or your files may be damaged.  
Depending on the software the  
files were made with, it may not be  
possible to play some files, or  
display some text data.  
Do not connect your USB flash  
memory device using a hub.  
Some devices cannot be powered  
or charged via the USB adapter. If  
this is the case, use the accessory  
adapter to supply power to your  
device.  
Do not use an extension cable to  
the USB adapter cable equipped  
with your vehicle.
