Get Audio System Guide for Ford Mustang 2 Door Sixth Generation (2015-2023)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Radio Frequencies and Reception

Factors

Note: Listening to loud audio for long

periods of time could damage your hearing.

Radio reception factors

The further you travel away from an FM station, the weaker

the signal and the weaker the reception.

Distance and Strength

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway

overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and

thunderstorms can interfere with the reception.

Terrain

When you pass near a radio transmission tower, a stronger

signal can override a weaker signal and can cause interfer-

ence in the audio system.

Station overload

CD and CD Player Information

Note: CD units play commercially pressed

12 cm audio compact discs only. Due to

technical incompatibility, certain recordable

and re-recordable compact discs may not

function correctly when used in Ford CD

players.

Note: Do not insert CDs with homemade

paper (adhesive) labels into the CD player

as the label may peel and cause the CD to

become jammed. You should use a

permanent felt tip marker rather than

adhesive labels on your homemade CDs.

Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Ask an

authorized dealer for more information.

Note: Do not use any irregularly shaped

discs or discs with a scratch protection film

attached.

Always handle discs by their edges only.

Clean the disc with an approved CD

cleaner only. Wipe it from the center of

the disc toward the edge. Do not clean in

a circular motion.

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or

heat sources for extended periods.

MP3 and WMA Track and Folder

Structure

Audio systems capable of recognizing and

playing MP3 and WMA individual tracks

and folder structures work as follows:

• There are two different modes for MP3

and WMA disc playback: MP3 and

WMA track mode (system default) and

MP3 and WMA folder mode.

• MP3 and WMA track mode ignores any

folder structure on the MP3 and WMA

disc. The player numbers each MP3

and WMA track on the disc (noted by

the MP3 or WMA file extension) from

T001 to a maximum of T255. The

maximum number of playable MP3 and

WMA files may be less depending on

the structure of the CD and exact

model of radio present.

Audio System

• MP3 and WMA folder mode represents

a folder structure consisting of one

level of folders. The CD player numbers

all MP3 and WMA tracks on the disc

(noted by the MP3 or WMA file

extension) and all folders containing

MP3 and WMA files, from F001 (folder)

T001 (track) to F253 T255.

• Creating discs with only one level of

folders helps with navigation through

the disc files.

If you are burning your own MP3 and WMA

discs, it is important to understand how

the system reads the structures you create.

While various files may be present, (files

with extensions other than MP3 and

WMA), only files with the MP3 and WMA

extension are played; other files are

ignored by the system. This enables you to

use the same MP3 and WMA disc for a

variety of tasks on your work computer,

home computer and your in-vehicle

system.

In track mode, the system displays and

plays the structure as if it were only one

level deep (all MP3 and WMA files play,

regardless of being in a specific folder). In

folder mode, the system only plays the

MP3 and WMA files in the current folder.
