Just a quick note, probably known to other than TL newbs like me....

When updating the Gracenote DB: put it on a USB stick (root directory, unzipped), start it before taking off, and plan to drive at least 15 minutes (preferably 30) while it is updating.

As I discovered this nice, hot sunny day, it's less fun doing it either in Accessory Mode (hate draining the battery and sweating inside) or sitting around with the engine idling for 10 minutes (hate wasting gas).

Just a friendly tip!

 

Did you have any issues with the update? I tried doing mine when i first got the car but it kept failing. I had all the files unzipped to the root directory of my USB drive just like the instructions said, and it still didn't work.

The only thing I could think of is that I had other files on the USB drive. That shouldn't mess it up, but it potentially could.

 

While loading CDs in my new 2012 TL SH-AWD I noticed that Gracenote does not include a "Country Genre". Does anyone know if I can create a custom genre or modify one of the current genres?

Thanks..Wes

 

That is for your own protection!
