Default Gracenotes

When does the Gracenotes data display? CD play, usb, bluetooth, iPOD, or iPHONE. I had the latest Map and Gracenotes upgrade installed and still haven't seen have not seen any album or track data. Any ideas??????

I believe there's a setting that negates if your car will use Gracenotes or not. Make sure that option is turned on.

Interesting, I have album and track data on USB (MP3) but not CD.

???????

There's a setting for iPods but I haven't seen anything else.

Well, found it on the NAV manual. "Gracenote only works on USB and iPod modes". Can't believe it doesn't work on CD!

Really? Must be something with the newer entertainment systems then. On my '07 it works with CD's.

Yep, mine too. The silly thing is, MP3s usually come with this info on the IDtags but CDs don't.

Gracenotes works on CDs in my 2013. Of course this assumes that it is in the Gracenotes' database.

Hmmm........ interesting. Does your manual say that Gracenote works on CD, MP3 and iPod or just MP3 and iPod. I couldn't believe that it wouldn't work with CDs. The three CDs I tried today were Genesis - Lamb lies down on Broadway; Herb Alpert - Greatest Hits; Donna Summer - Bad Girls; all of which were in the Gracenote database in my 2007 LS460.

It doesn't say so specifically; but it works. Most of my CDs are not popular (mostly jazz). I find many that work and many that don't.
