ing buttons on the steering wheel. When

so interpret any abbreviation and emoti-
con contained in the SMS text.

the control buttons on the steering wheel
or by the Blue&Me™voice commands.

entire inbox using the buttons on the
steering wheel or voice commands.
The Blue&Me™system can also recog-
nize and read abbreviations, if any (e.g.
“ILUVU” will be read like “I love you”) and
interpret the most usual emoticons (e.g.
:-) will be read like “Smile”), adopted
nowadays to write SMS texts.MEDIA PLAYER
With the Blue&Me™media player you
can play, via the car sound system, the dig-
ital audio files stored on a USB device by
simply connecting it to the USB port lo-
cated in the car.
In this way, while you are driving you can
play your favourite personal music collec-
tions.
❒iPodplayer - see dedicated paragraph.
The media player enables the following op-
erations:
❒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
Loop track.Note

files compressed with other formats and

files that may be present on the USB de-
vice will be ignored.

ply connect (directly or by an extension
lead) your USB device to the car USB
port. Turning the ignition key to MAR,
Blue&Me™will start building your me-
dia library. At the end of this operation

mands. Blue&Me™will then play your
selection via the car sound system.
