AUX, USB1 and external audio source
General
Connection points for external audio sources.
An external audio source, e.g. an iPod Ÿ or MP3
player, can be connected to the audio system
via any of the connections in the centre con-
sole. An audio source connected to the USB
input can then be handled
2 with the car's audio
controls. A device connected via the AUX input
cannot be controlled via the car.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with a steering wheel
keypad* and/or remote control* then in
many cases these can be used instead of
the buttons in the centre console. For a
description of the buttons in the steering
wheel, see page 224. For a description of
the remote control, see page 249.
An iPod Ÿ or MP3 player with rechargeable bat-
teries is recharged (when the ignition is on or
the engine is running) if the device is plugged
into the USB connection.
To connect the audio source:
1.
Repeatedly press on MEDIA to reach the
desired audio source
USB, iPod or AUX,
release and wait a second or press OK/
MENU.
>
If USB is selected then
Connect USB is
shown in the TV screen.
2. Connect your audio source to one of the
connections in the centre console's stor-
age compartment (see previous illustra-
tion).The text
Reading USB is shown in the TV
screen when the system is loading the storage
media's file structure. Depending on the file
structure and number of files there may be
some delay before loading is finished.
NOTE
The system supports most iPod Ÿ models
produced in 2005 or later.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the USB connection,
this is shut off if the USB connection is
short-circuited or if a connected USB unit is
taking too much power (this may happen if
the unit connected does not meet the USB
standard). The USB connection is reactiva-
ted automatically the next time the ignition
is turned on, unless the fault persists.
MenusThe menus inMEDIA are controlled from the
centre console and the steering wheel key-
pad*. For general information on menu naviga-
tion and menu structures, see page 263.

the current folder have been played back. The
system automatically detects and changes
setting when a device containing only audio
files or only video files is connected to the USB
port and then it plays back these files. How-
ever, the system does not change setting if a
device containing a mixture of audio and video
files is connected to the USB port, but insteadthe player continues to play back the previous
file type.

USB memory
To facilitate the use of a USB memory stick,
only store music files on it. It takes a lot longer
for the system to load storage media that con-
tains anything other than compatible music
files.
NOTE
The system supports mobile media compli-
ant with USB 2.0 and the FAT32 file system
and can handle 1000 folders with a maxi-
mum of 254 subfolders/files in every folder.
The top level, which can handle up to 1000
subfolders/files, is an exception to this.
NOTE
When using a longer model USB memory
stick the use of a USB adapter cable is rec-
ommended. This is to avoid mechanical
wear to the USB input and the connected
USB memory stick.
USB hubIt is possible to connect a USB hub to the USB
connection and thereby connect multiple USB
devices simultaneously. Selection of USB
