Sound Group II

[flt505]

Here's what I observe so far, please correct me or ehnance this as needed.
For MP3 on CD-RW. Sound Group II, No Nav.
The songs will play in FILENAME ascending sequence within FOLDER name ascending sequence.
You can jump to a new Folder with SET/DIR and TUNE buttons.
The Radio Display by default shows the Title Tag, not the FILENAME.
The Vehicle information display simply shows CD# and physical Track #.

Folder Names-Start with 2 digit # w/leading zero,13char Max incl leading ##
Example: 03LedZeppelin (Use Upper/Lower case as separator)
FileNames-Start with 2 digit number w/leading zero,restart at 01 in ea Folder.
Title Tag-2 lines show, 12 char per line,Use Upper/Lower case as separator
You have 24 char total. Can use EasyCD Creator to chg Title tag
No ## prefix needed. Use abbreviations and cAsE

Example of Title Tag: RideYourPony Lee Dorsey
Radio Display:
RideYourPony
Lee Dorsey

When you press SET/DIR:
The folders will show 2 at a time in ascending order 13 char incl ## prefix.

I have noticed that the first time I go to the MP3 disc as I use the buttons on the steering wheel to advance thru songs, they restart back at 01 in the playing folder after the last song in the folder. If I use the >> button on the radio it goes form the last song on each folder to the first song on the NEXT folder.
Now thereafter if I use the advance button on the steering wheel it goes from last song on one folder to first song on next folder. Strange Brew.

If you use the INFO button you can see the other "Tags" but they do not stay, it reverts back to Title Tag in a few seconds. Also the FOLDER name when it comes around in the INFO display will show much more than the 13 you see from SET/DIR, looks like about 32 characters or so.
It does not scroll automatiocally thru the Tags, you must press INFO repeatdedly to go thru the Tags.
You know, we are actually supposed to be driviing, not surfing, as I recall.
Beware, it is so easy to rear-end someone while playing with the CD toy.

One more thing.
If there is no Title Tag at all the Radio Display shows FILENAME instead.

Check out your original sticker with MSRP. If you have SGII, you'll have the option listed there with an added charge. If not, it should state the standard config in the details on the left side.
