operations:
❒Digital audio playback- you can play
all your digital audio files (.mp3, .wma,
.wav, .aac) or play a customized playlist
(.m3uor .wplformat).
❒Audio file selection by category-
you can play all audio files of a certain
category, e.g.: album, artist or genre.
❒Playback options- while playing tracks
you can select the following options: Play,
Stop, Next track, Previous track, Shuffle and

files compressed with other formats and
DRM (Digital Right Management) pro-
tected audio files. Non-supported audio
files that may be present on the USB de-
vice will be ignored.

simply connect (directly or by an exten-
sion lead) your USB device to the vehicle

trols, voice controls or the radio controls.
Blue&Me™will then play your selection
via the vehicle sound system.

speak the command in your natural voice

ognizes the command, it will acknowledge

Voice commands are organized according
to three increasing levels: 1
stlevel, 2ndlev-
el and 3rdlevel.

stlevel keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2ndlev-
el keywords; when a valid 2ndlevel key-
word is pronounced, the system will ac-
tivate 3
rdlevel keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
stlevel key-
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a key-
word leading to another level is given or
the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
