Media mode Introduction
“Media sources” are audio sources containing audio files on various differ-
ent data media (e.g. CD, memory card, external MP3 player). These audio
files can be played by the radio and navigation system from its correspond-
ing drives or audio input sockets (internal CD player, memory card slot, ME-
DIA-IN interface, AUX-IN, etc.).
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio
files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio
data CD”.

Things to note about the AUX2 additional external audio source
● If another audio source (CD, SD, etc.) is selected during playback, the
external player connected to the RSE continues playing.
● When playback on the external audio source has finished or if the exter-
nal player is disconnected from the AUX-RSE connector, the radio and navi-
gation system remains in the AUX2 menu.
● The AUX2 symbol remains visible and on (highlighted in red), and there-
fore accessible, as long as the “ Activate AUX2 input” check box in the ( Me-

has finished. Recommendations for use
●
If your vehicle is not fitted with an RSE system or a MEDIA-IN or MDI mul-
timedia interface, we recommend that the Activate AUX2 input is always left
unticked. Otherwise, the AUX2 source (if your vehicle does not have MDI) or
the “MDI” source may be shown in the Media selection menu as “active”
(accessible), even if there is no audio source connected to them.
● If your vehicle is fitted with a MEDIA-IN or MDI multimedia interface, the
AUX2 additional external source is not available. Use the check box Activate
AUX2 input as described in the section MEDIA-IN or MDI multimedia inter-
face.
