External audio source connected to the AUX-IN multimedia
socket
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the multimedia socket AUX-IN may
be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manual to
locate the position of the socket.
The AUX-IN multimedia socket can only be used with a 3.5 mm jack plug.
The external audio source connected is indicated by the AUX

ton in the Media selection menu . If the function button
AUX
is not displayed,
AUX must be activated in the
SETUP menu ⇒ page 40.
Connecting an external audio source to the AUX-IN multimedia socket
● Connect the audio source to the AUX IN multimedia socket.
● Lower the basic volume of the radio ⇒ page 10.

Vehicles with AUX-IN multimedia socket and MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
In vehicles also equipped with the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface the MEDIA-IN
function button is displayed instead of the AUX function button
⇒ page 32.
An external audio source connected to the AUX-IN multimedia socket can
only be played if there is no external data medium connected to the MEDIA-
IN multimedia interface at the time.
The audio source of the devices connected in the MEDIA-IN device (USB as
AUX-IN) takes priority over those connected in the RSE. Where both options
are available, make sure that there is nothing connected in the MEDIA-IN*
connections when you wish to listen to the audio source of the RSE
(⇒ Booklet Rear Seat Entertainment) in the car.
Note
● When playback of the external audio source finishes or the connector is
removed from the multimedia AUX-IN socket, the unit will remain in the AUX
menu.
● Interference noise may be heard if the external audio source is powered
from the vehicle's 12-volt socket. 

MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
Introduction
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
may be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manual
to locate the position of the socket.
The supported file formats listed below are collectively referred to in this
manual as audio files.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multime-
dia interface can be played and controlled via the radio system.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means USB memory
devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players, iPods™ and
USB sticks. External data media are displayed as MDI (Media Device Inter-
face) on the radio system.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of ap-
proximately 5 volts.

AUX-IN multi-media socket ⇒ page 30.
Notes and restrictions
Only audio files readable through the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface will be

Audio mode
● 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.
● 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).
● It is not possible to play files in 3GP format or “WMA lossless” files.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist cannot be played, check that the “relative
paths” are correct, i.e. that the MP3 files on the data medium are actually
stored at the locations referenced by the playlist.
If an external data medium is divided into several partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.
Respect any other restrictions and instructions regarding the requirements
for the media sources ⇒ page 23.
WARNING
● The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-
chanical damage and other kind of wear.
● We do not hold responsible for any possible damage on the connec-
ted devices.
● The connection of USB devices is sensitive to interference from mo-
bile telephones. Mobile telephones should not be left next to the USB
when this is connected, to prevent distortion.
● The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-
chanical damage and other kind of wear.
● Objects which are not secured in the vehicle compartment may inter-
fere with driving and could result in serious injury.
WARNING (Continued)
● The external data device should never be left on the dash panel. A
sharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the compartment and in-
jure the vehicle passengers.
● The external data device should never be mounted in the vicinity of
the airbag. If an airbag is activated it can project the device towards the
compartment and injure the vehicle passengers.
● The external data device must not be held in hand or on the legs
while driving. A sharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the com-
partment and injure the vehicle passengers.
● Place the external data device cables so that they are not in the way
while driving.
CAUTION
The adapter cable used must not be trapped or excessively twisted. The ca-
ble may get damaged and this could cause operational faults.
Note
Some vehicles with the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface mounted on the cen-
tre armrest are also equipped with an additional compartment. The rubber
insert of this compartment can be removed in order to extract small objects
which may have fallen inside.
Note
● Do not connect an external media player at the same time to play music
via Bluetooth and via the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface with the radio and
navigation system, as this could cause playback limitations.
● The use of memory card adapters or USB hubs can cause problems in
reading files. 
