Audio

Symptom

Solution

An Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto con-
nection cannot be 
established.

Check if the device supports Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto.
Check if Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is 
enabled on the connected device.
Check that the Android Auto application is 
installed to the device to be connected.
For details, refer to 
https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/,
https://www.android.com/auto/.

Check if “Apple CarPlay”/“Android Auto” of 
“Projection Settings” on the general settings 
screen is set to on. (



P.414)

Check if the USB cable being used is securely 
connected to the device and USB port.
Try connecting the smartphone directly to the 
USB port in the vehicle, without using the hub.
For Apple CarPlay: Check if the Lightning cable 
being used is certified by Apple and check if Siri 
is enabled.

After checking all of the above, try to establish 
an Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connection.

When an Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto con-
nection is established and 
a video is being played, 
the video is not displayed, 
but audio is output 
through the system.

As the system is not designed to play video 
through Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, this is not 
a malfunction.

Although an Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto con-
nection is established, 
audio is not output 
through the system.

The system may muted or the volume may be 
low. Increase the system volume.

5-4. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto

The Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto screen 
has artifacts and/or audio 
from Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto has 
noise.

Check if the USB cable being used to connect 
the device to the system is damaged.
To check if the USB cable is damaged inter-
nally, connect the device to another system, 
such as a PC, and check if the device is recog-
nized by the connected system. (The device 
should begin charging when connected.)

After checking all of the above, try to establish 
an Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connection.

The map display of the 
Apple CarPlay Maps app 
cannot be enlarged or 
contracted with pinch 
multi-touch gestures.

As the Apple CarPlay Maps app is not compati-
ble with pinch multi-touch gestures, this is not a 
malfunction.

During Apple CarPlay 
music application (Apple 
Music, Spotify, etc.) play-
back, if the iPhone is 
operated to start and play 
audio from an application 
that is not compatible with 
Apple CarPlay

 and the 

onboard device volume is 
changed, the audio of the 
incompatible application 
stops and the system 
resumes playback of the 
original music application.

This operation is performed according to the 
specification of the onboard device, this is not a 
malfunction.

5-11. Tips for operating the audio/visual system

5-11.Tips for operating the audio/visual system 

●

The use of a cellular phone inside 

or near the vehicle may cause a 

noise from the speakers of the 

audio/visual system which you are 

listening to. However, this does 

not indicate a malfunction.

Usually, a problem with radio 
reception does not mean there 
is a problem with the radio 



 it 

is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings 
and terrain can interfere with FM 
reception. Power lines or phone 
wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio sig-
nals have a limited range. The 
farther the vehicle is from a sta-
tion, the weaker its signal will 
be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the 
vehicle moves.
Here are some common recep-
tion problems that may not indi-
cate a problem with the radio as 
described.

■

FM

Fading and drifting stations: 
Generally, the effective range of 

FM is about 25 miles (40 km). 
Once outside this range, you 
may notice fading and drifting, 
which increase with the distance 
from the radio transmitter. They 
are often accompanied by dis-
tortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are 
reflective, making it possible for 
2 signals to reach the vehicle’s 
antenna at the same time. If this 
happens, the signals will cancel 
each other out, causing a 
momentary flutter or loss of 
reception.
Static and fluttering: These 
occur when signals are blocked 
by buildings, trees or other large 
objects. Increasing the bass 
level may reduce static and flut-
tering.
Station swapping: If the FM sig-
nal being listened to is inter-
rupted or weakened, and there 
is another strong station nearby 
on the FM band, the radio may 
tune in the second station until 
the original signal can be picked 
up again.

■

AM

Fading: AM broadcasts are 
reflected by the upper atmo-
sphere 



 especially at night. 

These reflected signals can 
interfere with those received 
directly from the radio station, 
causing the radio station to 
sound alternately strong and 
weak.

Audio

Station interference: When a 
reflected signal and a signal 
received directly from a radio 
station are very nearly the same 
frequency, they can interfere 
with each other, making it diffi-
cult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by 
external sources of electrical 
noise, such as high tension 
power lines, lightening or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.



MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), 
WMA (Windows Media Audio) 
and AAC (Advanced Audio 
Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.



This system can play 
MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB 
memory.



MP4, WMV and AVI files can 
use the following resolutions: 
128x96, 160x120, 176x144 
(QCIF), 320x240 (QVGA), 
352x240 (SIF), 352x288 
(CIF), 640x480 (VGA), 
720x480 (NTSC), 720x576 
(PAL)



When naming an 
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an 
appropriate file extension 
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).



This system plays back files 
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file 
extensions as 
MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and 
playback errors, use the 
appropriate file extension.



MP3 files are compatible with 
the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, 
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats. 
This system cannot display 

disc title, track title and artist 
name in other formats.



WMA/AAC files can contain a 
WMA/AAC tag that is used in 
the same way as an ID3 tag. 
WMA/AAC tags carry infor-
mation such as track title and 
artist name.



The emphasis function is 
available only when playing 
MP3 files.



This system can play back 
AAC files encoded by iTunes.



The sound quality of 
MP3/WMA files generally 
improves with higher bit rates. 



m3u playlists are not compati-
ble with the audio player.



MP3i (MP3 interactive) and 
MP3PRO formats are not 
compatible with the audio 
player.



The player is compatible with 
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).



When playing back files 
recorded as VBR (Variable Bit 
Rate) files, the play time will 
not be correctly displayed if 
the fast forward or reverse 
operations are used.



It is not possible to check fold-
ers that do not include 
MP3/WMA/AAC files.



MP3/WMA/AAC files in fold-
ers up to 8 levels deep can be 
played. However, the start of 
playback may be delayed

ID3 tag



This is a method of embed-

ding track-related information 
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include 
the track number, track title, 
the artist’s name, the album 
title, the music genre, the year 
of production, comments, 
cover art and other data. The 
contents can be freely edited 
using software with ID3 tag 
editing functions. Although 
the tags are restricted to a 
number of characters, the 
information can be viewed 
when the track is played back.

■

WMA tag



WMA files can contain a 
WMA tag that is used in the 
same way as an ID3 tag. 
WMA tags carry information



It is unnecessary to speak 
directly into the microphone 
when giving a command.

●

Voice commands may not be rec-

ognized if:

• Spoken too quickly.

• Spoken at a low or high volume.

• The roof or windows are open.

• Passengers are talking while 

voice commands are spoken.

• The fan speed of the air condition-

ing system is set at high.

• The air conditioning vents are 

turned towards the microphone.

●

In the following conditions, the 

system may not recognize the 

command properly and using 

voice commands may not be pos-

sible:

• The command is incorrect or 

unclear. Note that certain words, 

accents or speech patterns may 

be difficult for the system to recog-

nize.

• There is excessive background 

noise, such as wind noise.

●

Normally, it is necessary to wait 

for a beep before saying a com-

mand. To enable the ability to talk 

over prompts and say commands 

before the beep, enable the voice 

prompt interrupt function.
