Playing media through the AUX/USB sockets
An external media device, such as an iPod or an mp-3 player can be connected to the infotain-ment system.
A device with rechargeable batteries can be recharged when it is connected to the USBsocket (if the ignition is on or the engine is run-ning). To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store files with compatible fileformats on it. It will take considerably longer forthe system to index the files on the drive if it con-tains anything other than compatible files. In addition to audio, the vehicle's media player also supports video playback when the externaldevice is connected to the USB socket. Certain mp-3 players have proprietary file formats that are not supported by the infotainment sys-tem.

Map updates with MapCare
Volvo Sensus Navigation remote updates can be done directly to the vehicle through a cell phoneInternet connection or from a computer with aUSB flash drive.
General update informationThe system's maps are divided into a number of fixed regions. When updates are done, it is notnecessary to update all of the regions at thesame time but instead can be done for a specificregion or several regions. One or several regions can be updated from the vehicle's Internet connection. However, for majorupdates, a computer and a USB flash drive arerecommended. If an itinerary covers several regions, they should all have the same version number to enable thesystem to calculate the best route to the destina-tion(s).
Updating the map structureChanging the map structure may sometimes benecessary, e.g., if a region is added or if a largeregion is divided into smaller ones. If this is thecase, normal updates may not be possible and amessage will be displayed explaining what hashappened. In this situation, the entire map must be reinstal- led from a USB flash drive. For additional infor-mation, contact a Volvo retailer.
Updating navigation system softwareIn addition to the maps, the system's software isbeing steadily developed and has to be updatedoccasionally. This may mean that newly downloa-ded map information may not be supported bythe navigation system's software. If this happens,a message will be displayed indicating that thesoftware needs to be updated. This can be doneby a Volvo retailer or from a USB flash drive. See the section "Software version" in the article "System settings."
Updates from the vehicle's Internet
connection or from a USB flash drive
