28Instructions relating to memory cardsThe system is compatible with SD and MMC memory cards.The two MP3 memory card drives have been tested for use with many prod-
ucts currently available on the market. However, there may be some memory
cards which are not supported.
Store the memory cards in a suitable case to protect them from dirt and dust
and to avoid scratches or other kind of damage.
Caution
Only use one-piece SD/MMC memory cards. If you use SD/MMC adapter
cards (more than one piece), the memory card can detach from the adapter
(e.g. caused by jolting, etc). Parts could then get stuck in the drive.

the playlists with the tracks stored in the iPod and then assigns them in the
sequence CD 1 to CD 5. For easier playing of these playlists through the
vehicle's sound system, we recommend you create five playlists (e.g. 1.... to
5....) in your iPod.•If you select CD 6, all the tracks on the iPod will be played even if they are
stored in different playlists.
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and genre, or the
name of a playlist, does not appear on the navigation system display.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a vehicle's inte-
rior) can cause damage to the iPod and/or impair its performance.•Please do not leave your iPod in the vehicle in case of extreme tempera-
tures.Note
Please refer to the iPod operating instructions for important information on
