Notes on audio AUX mode
The varying volumes of external audio sour-
ces can mean that system messages (e.g.
traffic and navigation announcements) are
played at a noticeably increased volume. If
necessary, deactivate the system messages
or adjust their volume manually.
AUX also provides the option of connecting a
Media Player to COMAND.
To connect an external audio source to the
audio AUX, you will require an audio AUX
cable.

audio source may seem quieter or louder in
the vehicle, or the usual maximum volume
cannot be achieved. On some devices, it is
possible to adjust the volume separately. In
this case, start at a medium volume and
increase it gradually. This enables you to
determine whether the system is able to play
the music at high volume without distorting
it. Video AUX mode
