Special considerations when using MP3
players
Up to 8 directory levels with up to 1,000
tracks per directory are supported.
Do not use USB extension leads or adapters. They can impair functionality.
i DRM (Digital Rights Management) protec-
ted files are not supported by the Media
Interface. Audio AUX mode
Notes on audio AUX mode The varying volumes of external audio sour-
ces can mean that system messages (e.g.
traffic and navigation announcements) are
played at a noticeably increased volume. If
necessary, deactivate the system messages
or adjust their volume manually.
You can connect an external audio source
(AUX) to COMAND Online.
Depending on the vehicle model series the
connection is made via a jack in the storage
compartment in the centre console or via the
USB port (Y page 472).
If COMAND Online is equipped with a Media
Interface, external audio sources are connec-
ted using the cable set provided. The cable
set then replaces the audio AUX socket. The
connections for the Media Interface are loca- ted in the stowage compartment in the centre
console.

Reception quality Portable electronic devices in the vehicle may
seriously impair TV reception. The TV tuner is designed to receive digital TV
channels compliant with the DVB-T standard. If the reception deteriorates, the TV receiver
automatically switches to an alternative digi-
tal frequency transmitting the same pro-
gramme content with better reception.
i In some countries, DVB-T may not be
available, or may not be available in all
areas.
The constantly changing reception conditions
while the vehicle is in motion can interrupt the signal. If the reception is too poor,
COMAND Online can mute the sound and
freeze or hide the picture. To indicate this, an
icon of a radio tower with a line through it
appears in the display.
