The player that is used for the navigation map DVD can also be used as a single music CD player or a video DVD player.

CD Player

To use the player as a single music CD player, the navigation map DVD must be removed. While playing a CD in the CD/DVD Player, the navigation system is not available. The message "The disc installed is not a map DVD" will appear on the display if any of the navigation hard keys are pressed.

To remove the navigation map DVD and load a music CD:

  1. Start the vehicle.
  2. Press the TILT hard key until you hear a beep. This opens the faceplate of the system.
  3. If one is loaded, the navigation map DVD ejects from the slot.
  4. Gently remove the navigation map DVD from the slot and return it to its case.
  5. Insert the music CD into the slot. The system pulls the CD into the player.
  6. Press and release the TILT hard key to close the faceplate.

Notice: Shifting out of P (Park) with the system's faceplate open will cause the faceplate to close automatically. This could cause damage to a CD, DVD or the system if it is partially loaded. Before shifting out of P (Park), make sure that the DVD or CD is loaded properly. The vehicle must be shifted back into P (Park) to close the faceplate.
