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.
The
  switch-off   is   normal:   the   system   switches   to   economy   mode   and

Playback

  of   my   USB  
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.
When
 
I   connect   my  
iPhone as telephone and
to the US

b port at the
same
 
time,   I   am   unable  
to

 
play
  the   music   files.When
  the   iPhone   connects   automatically   as   a   telephone,   it   forces   the  
streaming

  function.  
The
  streaming   function   takes   the   place   of   the   USB  
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of t\
he
track

  being   played   with  
Apple® players. Disconnect and reconnect to the US b port (the
USB   function   takes   priority   over   streaming).
