¿Cómo reproduzco música con SYNC a través de un USB?

You can use your vehicle's SYNC screen or the "USB" voice commands. 

Using a USB With SYNC

When a device is connected to the vehicle's USB port, SYNC will try to read the contents and determine if any supported music files are found. Once music files are found and indexed, the SYNC system will attempt to build speech commands. 

On your SYNC screen:

  1. Select Audio
  2. Insert the USB drive.
  3. Select Source

    Note: The drive may not be available until the files have been indexed. If a message displays, wait for the message to dismiss itself. 
     
  4. Change/select the source as USB

Notas: 

  • Refer to the vehicle's manual del usuario for specific playing instructions using the SYNC screen, as they vary by SYNC generation and vehicle model and year.
  • Consulta la SYNC Voice Commands article for specific information on USB playback and voice commands.
