1. A method for extracting meta data from media devices in a vehicle over a communication link between a control module of the vehicle and the media devices, the method comprising: establishing a first communication link between the control module of the vehicle and a first media device; identifying a first plurality of media files on the first media device; extracting first meta data from the first plurality of media files, the first meta data including a first plurality of entries, wherein at least one of the first plurality of entries includes text data; identifying the text data in entries of the first meta data of the first plurality of media files; storing the first plurality of entries in a non-volatile memory as a first database of entries of meta data pertaining to the first plurality of media files and having a unique identifier associated with the first media device; establishing a second communication link between the control module of the vehicle and a second media device; identifying a second plurality of media files on the second media device; extracting second meta data from the second plurality of media files, the second meta data including a second plurality of entries, wherein at least one of the second plurality of entries includes text data; identifying the text data in entries of the second meta data of the plurality of media files; and storing the second plurality of entries in the non-volatile memory as a second database of meta data pertaining to the second plurality of media files and having a unique identifier associated with the second media device, wherein the second database of the second plurality of entries of meta data is only accessible to a user of the control system when the second media device is connected with the control module via the second communication link and the control module receives the second unique identifier corresponding with the second media device, and wherein the first database of the first plurality of entries of meta data is only accessible to the user of the control system when the first media device is connected with the control module via the first communication link and the control module receives the unique identifier corresponding with the first media device.
