USB* Connection33
As many as 99 tracks can be shown, although all those  contained in the 
folder can be played
A title with three figures will not show the hundreds on the screen, only the 
last two.
The music can be controlled via the radio keys. Choosing and playing songs, 
fast forward and rewind and random playback are described in the radio 
manual of your vehicle.
If there are folders in the root directory individual files will not be played, so 
all data in the root directory should be in folders
Storing files in a memory stick or MP3 player
Store files in folders instead of using th e root directory of the memory stick or 
player. In this way the songs can be stored in order (eg all the songs in a 
certain style in the same folder). 
The function keys   to   of the radio can only select the first 5 folders.

USB port.
The screen will show the first 6 folders detected by the USB port, displayed as 
CD 1  to CD 6 . Folders without music files will not be included.
If there are more than 6 music folders in the device, the exact number of 
folders can be shown using the CD options. If the music files are not classified into folders, but stored directly in the root 
directory, the radio will read the files and play them in the same order. The 
display then shows 
CD 1.
