I've only ever used my iPod and had no issues. As for the voice control you should only need to press the button once! I haven't had no condensation in any of my lights. Well not that I've noticed lol

 

Disconnecting USB

Couldn't see an option for this, I would say best to switch to radio/cd or turn HU off before removing, same if you have an IPOD etc. connected

Seperate question to other owners - have noticed a bit of condensation on the inside of both lights after driving at the lower level, is this normal. (has been peeing down today)

Cheers All.

It really depends on when you want to disconnect your USB. If its when you have stop and ready to get out just turn engine of and out door a little bit as everything goes off USB wouldn't be working so would be the best way or like you said turning radio/hub off. To be honest I just take my iPhone out when ever even if am still using it and I've had no problem with.

As for the condensation I've not had any in mine. Think best thing to do is go see your dealer seals my not be right

 

cheers guys, more info on the maximum index size - it appears it is all related to 'grammer objects', fond this from

"While there isn't an exact number for the maximum amount of songs that SYNC can handle, the capacity for SYNC is about 20,000 songs. This is assuming that the compression rate for these tracks would be at 128-Kbps. The higher the compression rate (192-Kbps, 320 Kbps) the smaller the number of tracks Sync can handle.

Just as with any other device, we cannot guarantee compatibility (because it is not on our device list). But as long as the device is formatted FAT32 and can be powered through USB (or you have some other way of powering up the device) it should work like any other mass storage device. NTFS does NOT work as a partition, it was thought to have, but was discovered not to work. Note the recommended maximum capacity for any media device is 100GB (again, not saying anything more will not work but that is the recommended maximum for reasonable SYNC performance).

SYNC has a limit of 15,000 grammar objects. After SYNC completes the indexing of songs, it begins creating the set of grammar objects or voice commands. Each song can have up to 4 commands associated with it, one each for: Genre, Artist, Album, and Track. Repeats are not counted, so if you have 100 songs by the Beatles, the Artist name "the Beatles" only counts as 1 toward that 15,000 total.

If the total number of voice commands would be over 15,000 at any time, the least specific group gets removed first. This is why your Track commands were disabled. Having 17,000 tracks would instantly put you over that limit, but grouping things by Genre, Artist, and Album gives less than 15,000 total. Depending on the diversity of your collection, reducing the track count to somewhere between 10,000 and 13,000 should restore the ability to use track commands.

According to the info I've gathered from the syncmyride user to user forum, there is a recommended max drive size of 100 gb, but larger can be used. There is no max to the number of files on a drive, instead there is a max of 15,000 "grammar objects" but exact duplicates only count as one. (1000 songs by Frank Sinatra is one "grammar object" for artist, each unique track title album name) count as one each and each album name also one each) "

Think I need to clean up my MP3 Tags, I am wondering how it handles empty 'genre' fields etc..

 

It's like the majority pf media players these days, you always benefit from accurate MP3 tags.
