With the engine off, the
system switches off after
a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.

switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
Playback of my US
b
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time\

Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.

iPhone as telephone and
to the US
b port at the
same time, I am unable

b
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the
track being played with Apple
® players.
d
isconnect and reconnect to the US b port
(the US b function takes priority over streaming).
