Controlling playback
The extent to which the Bluetooth ®
audio
source can be controlled via the Infotainment
system depends on the connected Blue-
tooth ®
audio source.
The available functions will depend on the
Bluetooth ®
Audio profile that the connected
external player supports.
With media players that support the AVRCP
Bluetooth ®
profile, playback on the Blue-
tooth ®
audio source can be automatically
started or stopped when the unit is switched
to Bluetooth ®
Audio mode or to a different
audio source. In addition, it is possible to
view or change the track via the Infotainment
system. Note
● Due to the large number of possible Blue-
tooth ®
audio sources, it is not possible to
guarantee fault-free operation of all descri-
bed functions.
● Always switch off the warning and service
tones on a connected Bluetooth ®
audio
source, e.g. key tones on a mobile telephone,
to prevent possible interference noise and
malfunctions.
● Do not connect an external media player to
play music via Bluetooth ®
and via the USB
port ››› page 31 at the same time with the Infotainment system, as this could cause
playback limitations.
● If the external player is an Apple device™,
it cannot be simultaneously connected by

enabled in accordance with the UPnP (Univer-
sal Plug and Play) standard.
Conditions
● There is a compatible application (App) in-
stalled on the WLAN audio source (for exam-
ple, a Smartphone).
● The WLAN function of the WLAN audio
source and the Infotainment system are acti-
vated and a network connection has been
configured, see ››› page 71, WLAN setup. ●
Pair the device to the Infotainment system
using a password generated by the system.

procedure.
Controlling playback
The extent to which the WLAN audio source
can be controlled via the Infotainment sys-
tem depends on the connected WLAN audio
source and the application used. Note
● The Infotainment system does not provide
an internet connection, it only establishes a
wireless connection between the mobile de-
vice and said system.
● Via the WLAN, only the connection between
the device and the Infotainment system can
be guaranteed, its operation depends on the
application itself. Media setup
