I had looked into this before picking the Limited.
One other difference is that the Limited comes with BOTH the Premium and Seating Flexibility packages as standard.
With the SEL, you have to pick one or the other.
Therefore, the SEL should be cheaper as the cost of either of those options is significant.

Hello John,
Regarding capital letters, the issue is not that the contacts or media files containing capital letters did not get added to SYNC's phonebook or media index. Rather, the experience some users were having was the result of the speech systems logic around acronyms. For example, a contact named "DOG" would be accessible if the user said "dee oh gee" because SYNC interprets the captilized word as an acronym. A contact named "Dog" would be accessible if the user said "Dog". "LA" is not "la", it's "el ay", and so on.
Regarding the definition of a significant change, adding or removing one or two tracks should be enough to trigger a reindex in most cases.
Thanks,
Marcus
Thanks again Marcus,
That explains why the tracks were there, but I couldnt access via voice commands. All fixed now. Good info on the re-indexing too.
Thanks to jamers1's pictures, I know why I cant see the track count (dont have the NAV screen).
Regards,
John

Marcus,
Is there an issue with using all capital letters in the track, artist or album names? The reason I ask, is in another thread, someone couldnt call up his address book on his phone and finally found out it was due to all caps. Does this apply to the MP3 players as well?
That would be really good to know.
Also, any idea what the 'significant size change' would be? I don't want to perform a master reset after the phones are paired, so I would rather add or delete 'dummy tracks' if need be to trigger a re-index.
Jamers1,
How did you get a track count? Did you get sync to somehow display the number of tracks?
Thanks.
John
Hello jamers1,Simply put, SYNC determines whether a "new" device is inserted and when to pick up things like the metadata changes when it notices that a significant change in size has occured on the device. In your case, changes to the artist name may not have been a large enough change to trigger SYNC to "reindex" and pick up the changes. If files are added or removed, or if you remove the old index by performing a Master Reset, you should notice that SYNC in synchronized with the changes you've made.
Also, it may be helpful to ensure that all the metadata on your media reflects your changes. MP3/WMA files have multiple fields for Artist metadata. These are named "Artist", "Album Artist", "Contributing Artist" and so on. You may want to check these fields to make sure they reflect your expected information if the comments I made above do not help to resolve your media issue.
I hope the information I've provided here is helpful.

Weird MP3/Sync problem

I just had the same problem. Saw the song title with the clock running but no sound. Radio, CD fine.
Master Reset did nothing but make me wait for the indexing to finish. Still didn't work.
Pulled the fuse for a few seconds and put it back in. Seems OK now. Fuse is 3rd from top left if anyone is interested (#3, YMMV).
Hope it lasts. By the way, I don't have a phone paired so don't think that is part of the cause.
It's from Microsoft, so guess we'll need to 'reboot' every once in a while
