Restrictions and instructions
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a data medium unusable. Please observe the
manuf
acturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
anomalies during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion can be found on the internet regarding
the best ways to create audio files and data
media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Depending on the size, its condition due to
use (copy and delete processes), the folder
structure and file type, the read time of the
data media used can vary considerably.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
on the data medium at the locations referred
to by the playlist (relative file paths). Note
● Do not u
se adaptors for memory cards.
● We will not accept any responsibility for
fil
es damaged or lost on the data medium. 18

External data storage device connec-
t ed t
o USB port Depending on the features and the country,
the
v
ehicle may have a USB - AUX-IN connec-
tion ››› Booklet Instruction Manual.
Audio files on an external data storage de-
vice connected to the USB port can be
played and controlled via the Infotainment
system.
Where this manual refers to external data
storage devices, this means USB mass stor-
age devices containing supported audio
files, such as MP3 players, iPods™ and USB
sticks.
Only supported audio files are displayed and
played. Other files are ignored.
Further operation of the external data medi-
um (changing track, selecting tracks and
playback modes) is described in the appro-
priate chapters of this manual ›››
page 18.
Instructions and restrictions
Compatibility with Apple™ devices and other
media players depends on the unit. The USB port
sup
plies the usual USB volt-
age of 5 volts for a USB connection.
External hard disks with a capacity greater
than 32 GB must be reformatted for the
FAT32 file system in some circumstances. You
will find the necessary software and informa-
tion on the Internet.
Take into account all other instructions and
limitations regarding requirements for media
sources ››› page 18.
iPod™, iPad™ and iPhone™
Depending on the country and the equip-
ment, iPods™, iPads™ or iPhones™ can be
connected using the device's USB cable to
the USB port of the vehicle and used as
audio sources.
After connecting an iPod™, iPad™ or
iPhone™, the specific list views of the iPod
are displayed in the upper selection level
( Playlists , Artists , Albums,

● Please refer to the instructions on the
sc
reen of the Infotainment system and on the
Bluetooth ®
audio source regarding the rest
of the procedure.
You may still need to manually start playback
on the Bluetooth ®
source.
When playback on the Bluetooth ®
audio
source is stopped, the Infotainment system
remains in Bluetooth ®
Audio mode. Controlling playback
The ext
ent to which the Bluetooth ®
audio
source can be controlled via the Infotainment
system depends on the connected Blue-
tooth ®
audio source.
The available functions will depend on the
Bluetooth ®
Audio profile that the connected
external player supports.
With media players that support the AVRCP
Bluetooth ®
profile, playback on the Blue-
tooth ®
audio source can be automatically
started or stopped when the unit is switched
to Bluetooth ®
Audio mode or to a different
audio source. In addition, it is possible to
view or change the track via the Infotainment
system. Note
● Due t
o the large number of different Blue-
tooth audio sources available, it is not possi-
ble to guarantee fault-free operation of all
functions described here.
● Deactivate the service and warning sounds
of a c
onnected Bluetooth audio source (for
example, the key tones of the mobile tele-
phone) to avoid interference noise and
anomalies in the operation.
● To play music, do not link the external me-
dia p
layer simultaneously to Bluetooth and
the USB interface of the infotainment system,
as this can cause limitations during playback. » 23
