ping the play on the portable device, when you go back to the auxiliary source 
using the menu displayed with the   button, it will not continue to play 
at the point where you left off.Auxiliary input volumeThis volume is independent of the car radio volume and is used to adjust the 
difference in volume between the different external and internal Audio

adjusted using button     or option “aux vol” in the menu. Three 
different amplification levels can be selected by turning button  .
