Notes and restrictions
The infotainment system enables you to view,
play and manage compatible audio files
through the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface.
In the case of MTP players and depending on
the battery charge and the quantity of data, it
may take a few minutes for them to be ready
for use.
External hard discs with a capacity greater
than 32 GB must, in certain circumstances,
be reformatted to the FAT32 file system. On
the Internet, for example, you will find pro-
grams and instructions for this.
If the data carrier has several partitions, only
the first partition will be recognised (except
with USB, in which the first 2 will be visible).
Take into account all other instructions and
limitations regarding requirements for media
sources.
