USB* connection
42As 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 director y 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 (e.g. 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.
If there are more than 6 folders in  the memory stick or MP3 player their 
content cannot be played.
The folders can be subdivided into subfolders e.g. different albums by an 
artist.
Example of a music folder structure:
Playback of music via USB connection
Connect the memory stick or MP3 player with the USB extension cable to the 
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.
Music files and folders will be played in alphabetical order, so files beginning 
with numbers will be selected first, before those with letters. A file with the 
name  1XXXXXXXX will be played before another with the name  AAAAAA.
Screen indications
When selecting a music file with the CD keys, it appears in the radio equip-
ment screen  Track 1.
As many as 99 tracks can be shown.

•
The detection of the memory stick or MP3 player requires a few seconds

13).
What are MP3 files? MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standardised technology and format for the 
compression of sound sequen ces. The sound file is compressed to about 
1/10th of its original size. Sounds th at are out of the human hearing range 
are excluded while those that are within the range are compressed.Accepted recording formatsIt is possible to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs. The unit supports MP3 discs that have been formatted using the ISO 9660 
standard level 1 or 2. The unit can also play discs recorded using the Romeo 
or Joliet standard.
The unit will not play CDs recorded using “Packet Writing” (UDF or Direct CD 
formats) whether this has been used on the entire disc or within a session. In 
this case the display will display an error message and eject the CD.
ISO 9660 format
This is the most common of international standards for the format logic of 
files and folders on a CD-ROM.
There are different levels of specification. For level 1, the names must be in 
8.3 format (8 characters maximum for the name of the file +3 characters for 
the extension “.MP3”. Folder names ca
nnot be more than 8 letters long. 
However, Level 2 specifications allow up to 31 characters.
Multi-session CDs
This method of recording means that  information may later be added to the 
CD (while there is enough space remaining and the CD is not closed). The 
information on each recorded CD is contained within an area marked by two 
data labels called “Lead-in” for the be ginning of the area and “Lead-out” for 
the end of the area. A multi-session CD will allow for multiple segments that 
contain their own “Lead-in” and “Lead-out”.
Information from the ID3 data fieldThe ID3 data of an MP3 file· contains  information about the Artist, Album and 
the name of the track.
12)The MP3 functions· are only available on the radio version with MP3.13)A process required so that a CD-R/CD-RW can be played by an audio CD player. Any CD
with a session open (not finished) will not be recognised and the display will show an
error message.

MP3 mode
44This unit can display the information from the ID3 data field, versions 1 and 
2, to a maximum of 60 characters in total.
Note
•
When an MP3 disc is being played it is possible that some songs may not 
play or may be played incorrectly. This  may be due to the configuration of the 
disc, the software or the hard ware used for the recording.
•
Audio CDs (CD-A) meet the specifications and carry a corresponding 
symbol. Those CDs with copyright protection do not meet these specifica-
tions and do not bear the corresponding symbol; for this reason there may be 
errors in reading this type of disc.
•
For MP3 CDs the MP3 data rate should oscillate between 8 and 320 
Kb/sec.
•
It is possible to read multi-session discs but if the data has been recorded 
in both formats (CD-DA and MP3), regardless of the order, only the audio 
tracks will be played.
•
With other formats that are not IS O 9660 level 1 or 2, the names of the 
files and folders may not be displayed correctly.
•
When naming an MP3 file make sure  the extension is correct. Writing 
“.MP3” for a non-MP3 file means that the  file will not be recognised and may 
play unwanted noises.
•
It is not possible to play MP3 files that are deeper than the first 8 folder 
levels. To speed up the reading and searching, only two levels of folders are 
recommended.
•
The following types of disc will  take some time to begin playing:
•
A disc with many folder levels.
•
A multi-session disc.
•
A disc to which information may be added (Open).
•
It  will  n o t b e p o ssibl e  to  play  a n  a u dio CD (CD-R/CD-RW) that has not been 
closed.
