Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs
If malfunctions only occur with individual CDs/
DVDs, one of the following factors may be the
cause.
Self-recorded CDs/DVDs
Possible reasons for malfunctions with self-
recorded CDs/DVDs are, e.g. inconsistent data-
creation or recording processes, or poor quality
or high age of the CD/DVD blank.
Only label CDs/DVDs on the top, with a pen
designed for this purpose.
Damaged CDs/DVDs
Avoid leaving fingerprints, as well as dust,
scratches or moisture on the CDs/DVDs.
Keep CDs/DVDs in protective sleeves or cases.
Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over
122 7/50 6, high levels of humidity or direct
sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection
CDs/DVDs are often co py-protected by the
manufacturer. This can mean that some CDs/
DVDs cannot be played or can only be played to
a limited extent.
Care
Clean the reflective signal side of CDs/DVDs as
needed by wiping it wi th a commercially avail-
able cleaning tissue in straight lines from the
center of the disc outwards.

Storing music
Music tracks from CDs and DVDs can be stored
in the music collection in the vehicle and played
from there.
>Audio CD: tracks are converted into a com-
pressed audio format when they are stored.
The CD is stored in the vehicle as an album.
If available, information on the album, such
as the artist, is stored as well.
> CDs with compressed audio files: the entire
CD is stored in the vehicle as an album.
After storing, the trac ks and directories can
be deleted individually. Files are only stored
in the WMA, MP3, and AAC formats. Tracks
with DRM copy protection can be stored in
the vehicle but cannot be played back.
Storing files from CDs/DVDs
1. Insert the CD into the CD player.
2. "CD/DVD"
3. Select the symbol for the CD/DVD
player.
4. "Store in vehicle"
The music collection is displayed and the first
track on the CD is played back. During the stor-
age process, the tracks are played in sequence.
Observe the following during the storage pro-
cess:
Do not switch to the CD /DVD player and do not
remove the CD from the CD/DVD player, as this
will interrupt the storage process. You can
switch to the other audi o sources without inter- rupting the storage process. Tracks from the
current CD that have already been stored can
be called up.
Interrupting storage
1.
"CD/DVD"
2. "Storing..."
3. "Cancel storing"
The storage process is interrupted and can be
continued at any time.
Continuing the storage process
"Continue storing"
Storage of the CD continues at the beginning of
the track at which storage was interrupted.
Album information
During storage, information such as the name
of the artist is stored with the track, if this infor-
mation is available in the vehicle database or on
the CD.

(MP3 player, USB flash drive). These devices
can be operated via iDrive.
Standard audio formats, e.g. MP3, WMA, WAV
(PCM) and AAC, and playlists in the M3U format
can be played.

adapter cable to protect the USB inter-
face and your USB device against physical
damage. <

the information and playlists.
Information from up to four USB devices can be

tion stored in the vehicle on the tracks of the
first USB device is deleted.
