carried out by qualified technicians.
G
Warning!
Only carry out the following when the vehicle
is stationary:
R Inserting a disc/device
R Ejecting a disc/device
There is
a risk of accident by being distracted
from road and traffic conditions if you load a
disc/device while the vehicle is in motion.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second. Notes about MP3 mode
Permissible media for MP3/WMA files R
CD-R and CD-RW
R DVD-R and DVD-RW
R DVD+R and DVD+RW
R SD cards
R USB flash drives
R iPod ®
R MP3 players
Permissible file systems R
ISO9660/Joliet for CDs
R UDF for DVDs
R FAT16 or FAT32 for storage media
Multisession CDs For multisession CDs, the first session type
of the CD determines how COMAND will
process the CD.
For example, if the first session type is
according to the audio CD standard and the
second session type is according to the data
CD standard containing MP3/WMA tracks, COMAND will treat the CD as a conventional
audio CD. This means that it is only possible
to
access

the audio CD tracks. Access to the
MP3/WMA tracks is not possible.
Similarly, if the first session type is according
to the data CD standard containing MP3/
WMA tracks and the second session type is
according to the audio CD standard,
COMAND will treat the CD as a data CD. This
means that it is only possible to access the
MP3/WMA tracks. Access to the audio CD
tracks is not possible.
File structure on a disc When you create an audio disc, the tracks can
be
organized

in folders. A disc may contain a
maximum of 4000 tracks.
The directory depth may not exceed a
maximum of 8 levels. The system will ignore
files in lower levels.
Notes on USB storage media Do not store data other than audio data on a
USB storage medium. Doing so will increase
the
time

required to initialize the USB storage
medium.
A maximum of 8 directory levels with up to
4000 tracks each are supported.
For information on connecting USB storage
media to the built-in USB socket in the glove
box see ( Y page 72).
Track and folder names When you create an audio medium, you can
assign names to the tracks and folders.
COMAND uses these names for the
corresponding display. Empty folders or
folders which contain data other than MP3/
WMA tracks are not displayed by COMAND.
If MP3/WMA files are saved in the root
directory itself (uppermost directory on
storage medium), the root directory will also
be treated as a folder. COMAND will then
show the name of the root directory as the
folder name.COMAND audio CD/audio DVD/MP3
