    MFT music playback questions

    It is easy, the menu offers browse options by Artist or Album, if you pick Artist you can then select Album or play all. Also the voice commands work well. "Play Artist <name>" or " Play Album <name>" or even "Play Track <name>".

    MFT music playback questions

    Sorry, didn't see the second question. It only indexes if something has changed, not everytime you start the car. Playlists work ok but i had to build them using Windows Media Player and copy directly to the USB drive. Biggest headache i see is special characters like apostrophies in song...

    MFT music playback questions

    Monkey - I use an 8gb USB stick loaded with music. Music plays fine, album art is spotty - not a big deal to me. Whole albums work fine, if you have a bunch of singles thrown into a miscellaneous folder that can be spotty. Getting 2.8 loaded today so will see if that makes a difference. The...

    Usb stick keep skiping

    Mine does that too, but have narrowed it down to when I first put the stick in and Sync is doing all the indexing and voice command building. After that is complete it seems to quit doing that.

    Lockout on 3rd row?

    From the Owner's Manual The power fold seats work only when the vehicle is in P (Park) and the tailgate is open. That should take care of the dog concern.
