Additional display information
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning set-
tings or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be tem-
porarily displayed on the screen. These displays disappear automatically
when they are no longer required.
All displays appear only after completely restarting the radio system.
CAUTION
Only a small amount of pressure is needed to operate the unit.
Note
● Never press a button down for longer than 10 minutes. Otherwise the
system will interpret this as a malfunction ( button jammed).
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected
on the screen when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.
● Using a mobile phone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle
speakers.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the
volume of the current audio source is automatically lowered when reverse
gear is engaged. This volume can be changed while reverse is engaged. If
the volume is not modified, when reverse is disengaged the previous vol-
ume setting is restored. If the volume is modified, when reverse gear is dis- engaged the audio source will stay at the set volume and, as long as the
maximum volume is not exceeded, it will be memorised for the next time re-
verse gear is engaged.

Additional instructions
Additional instructions for the mass storage device (MSD):
●Only external data devices or USB mass storage devices complying with
the USB 2.0 specification can be used.
● Partition of an external data device shall be in accordance with the file
system, FAT16 (2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table).
● MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) players, recognised by the commercial
name “PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista”, are highly sensitive to factors in-
cluding the battery charge and the volume of data in the MEDIA-IN multime-
dia interface requests. It may take several minutes before an MTP player is
ready to play.
● When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex
data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it
may take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be
influenced by the connected device.
● The structure of the folders in the external data device shall not exceed a
depth of eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1000 en-
tries.
● The use of USB cable extensions and USB hubs may cause operating er-
rors.
● If an external data device is divided into various partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.
● Memory card adapters cannot be used, their use may cause operating
errors.
● If an MP3 player is updated via the manufacturer (firmware update) this
may lead to operating errors.
● An external data device should be connected first or select the corre-
sponding data mode.
● Compatible formats include: MP3, WMA, OGG-Vorbis, AAC.
● Please refer to the respective manufacturer's manual for instructions on
the operation of the external data medium. Compatible file formats
The use of file formats which can be played on this equipment is the same
as for compressed audio files in MP3 format and will not be explained fur-
ther in this manual.
●
The radio and navigation equipment can be used to play and control au-
dio files in MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC format from an external data
device.
● Playlists in PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL format are compatible.
● WMA (Windows Media Audio) audio files can only be played if they are
not protected by authors' rights with the DRM (Digital Rights Management)
system.
● Generally, files with anti-copy protection cannot be played (e.g. M4P).
● Files in 3GP format and “WMA lossless” file types cannot be played.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist is not played, check whether the “route da-
ta” is correct, that is, whether the MP3 files are stored in the data device to
which the playlist refers.
