Media mode Introduction
“Media sources” are audio sources containing audio files on various differ-
ent data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be
played by the radio system from its corresponding players or audio input
sockets (internal CD player , external CD changer, AUX-IN multimedia sock-
et).

Introduction
The external audio sources described here can only be played over the vehi-
cle speakers, but cannot be controlled via the radio system.

● System and function settings (SETUP) ⇒ page 52
Note
Please read and observe the manufacturer's manual for the external audio
source.
External audio source connected to the AUX-IN multimedia
socket
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the multimedia socket AUX-IN may
be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manual to
locate the position of the socket.
The AUX-IN multimedia socket can only be used with a 3.5 mm jack plug.
The external audio source connected is indicated by the AUX
function but-
ton in the Media selection menu . If the function button
AUX
is not displayed,
AUX must be activated in the
SETUP menu ⇒ page 52.
Connecting an external audio source to the AUX-IN multimedia socket
● Connect the external audio source to the AUX-IN multimedia socket.
● Lower the basic volume of the radio ⇒ page 8.
● Start playback on the external audio source.
● Open the Media selection menu and select the AUX
function button
⇒ page 24.
The output volume of a connected external audio source should be adjusted
to the volume of the other audio sources ⇒ page 53.
Vehicles with AUX-IN multimedia socket and MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
In vehicles also equipped with the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface the MEDIA-IN
function button is displayed instead of the AUX function button
⇒ page 30.
An external audio source connected to the AUX-IN multimedia socket can
only be played when no external data medium is connected to the MEDIA-IN
multimedia interface.
The audio source of the devices connected in the MEDIA-IN device (USB as
AUX-IN) takes priority over those connected in the RSE. Where both options
are available, make sure that there is nothing connected in the MEDIA-IN*
connections when you wish to listen to the audio source of the RSE
( ⇒ Booklet Rear Seat Entertainment) in the car.
Note
● When playback on the external audio source is stopped or the plug is
disconnected from the AUX-IN multimedia socket, the radio-navigation sys-
tem remains in the AUX menu.
● Interference may be heard if the external audio source is powered from
the vehicle’s 12-volt socket.

MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
Introduction
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
may be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manual
to locate the position of the socket.
The supported file formats listed below are collectively referred to as “audio
files”.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multime-
dia interface can be played and controlled via the radio system.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means USB mass stor-
age devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players, iPods™
and USB sticks. External data media are displayed as MDI (Media Device In-
terface) on the radio system.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of ap-
proximately 5 volts.

Settings menus
Function button: effectALT-FREQb)
ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY : Define the setting for automatic sta-
tion tracking.
ON: The unit always switches to the radio station's frequency that
offers the best reception as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. As a result, regional programmes may be interrupted.
OFF: No frequency change takes place. The unit remains tuned to
the selected frequency until reception is lost. RDS REG
is no longer available in the SETUP menu.RDS REGb)c) RDS REGIONAL : Define the setting for automatic station track-
ing.
AUTO: The unit always switches to the radio station's frequency that
offers the best reception as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. As a result, regional programmes may be interrupted.
FIX: The unit only changes to regional alternative frequencies for
the current station broadcasting the same regional service. The radio
will accept the frequencies of other stations, only when the reception
quality is very poor.
RADIOTEXT: Some RDS-compatible and DAB stations broadcast additional
text information. The individual radio station is responsible for the texts
displayed.
ON: If the currently selected radio station supports radio text and
the reception is strong enough, radio text is displayed in the centre
line of the screen (if necessary as scrolling text) instead of the station
name.
OFF: No radio text is displayed (factory setting).DAB... settings d)

c) Not displayed if ALT-FREQ OFF is selected.
d) DAB radio mode is only available depending on the unit and currently only in part of Eu-
rope ⇒ page 18.
Adjusting the output volume ( AUX/MDI VOLUME LEVEL)
If you need to increase the output volume for the external audio source, first
lower the base volume on the radio system ⇒ page 9.
If the sound from the external audio source is too quiet, increase the output
volume on the external audio source if possible. If this is not sufficient, set
the input volume (AUX VOL LEVEL) in the system settings to level 2 or level 3.
If the sound from the connected external audio source is too loud or distor-
ted, lower the output volume on the external audio source if possible. If this
is not sufficient, set AUX VOL LEVEL to level 2 or level 1.
Speed-dependent volume adjustment
The GALA function automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speed
of the vehicle.
You can set the degree to which the volume increases with speed on a scale
between 1 and 7.
