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).

Audio mode
● When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex
data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it
may take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be
influenced by the connected device.
● WMA (Windows Media Audio) audio files can only be played if they are
not protected by authors' rights with the DRM (Digital Rights Management)
system.
● Generally, files with anti-copy protection cannot be played (e.g. M4P).
● It is not possible to play files in 3GP format or “WMA lossless” files.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist cannot be played, check that the “relative
paths” are correct, i.e. that the MP3 files on the data medium are actually
stored at the locations referenced by the playlist.
If an external data medium is divided into several partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.
Please refer to further limitations and notes on the requirements placed on
media sources ⇒ page 21.
WARNING
● The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-
chanical damage and other kind of wear.
● We do not hold responsible for any possible damage on the connec-
ted devices.
● The connection of USB devices is sensitive to interference from mo-
bile telephones. Mobile telephones should not be left next to the USB
when this is connected, to prevent distortion.
● The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-
chanical damage and other kind of wear.
● Objects which are not secured in the vehicle compartment may inter-
fere with driving and could result in serious injury.
WARNING (Continued)
● The external data device should never be left on the dash panel. A
sharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the compartment and in-
jure the vehicle passengers.
● The external data device should never be mounted in the vicinity of
the airbag. If an airbag is activated it can project the device towards the
compartment and injure the vehicle passengers.
● The external data device must not be held in hand or on the legs
while driving. A sharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the com-
partment and injure the vehicle passengers.
● Place the external data device cables so that they are not in the way
while driving.
CAUTION
Make sure that the adapter lead is not pinched or severely bent. This can
damage the adapter lead and cause functional faults.
Note
● Some vehicles with the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface mounted on the
centre armrest are also equipped with an additional compartment. The rub-
ber insert of this compartment can be removed in order to extract small ob-
jects which may have fallen inside.
● Do not connect an external media player to the radio-navigation system
via Bluetooth and via the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface at the same time,
as this could lead to limitations in playback.
● The use of memory card adapters or USB hubs can cause problems in
reading files. 
