audio files by folder.
USB devices with a password
function are not recommended. If
your USB device has this function, always check that it has been
deactivated.
The Media player only supports the
specified formats and does not
support DRM (Digital Rights

the USB device, they will be ignored.
The media payer is compatible with most USB 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0 data storage
devices.
The Media player supports playlist
extensions, .m3u and .wpl. The
Media player does not support nested or connected playlists. Both relative
and absolute paths to songs in the
playlists are supported.Playlists generated by an iPod are not
supported.
iPod optimization
To optimise the connection of your
iPod with the Infotainment system
you should carry out the following
simple operations on your iPod:
● Configure the iPod for use as an external disc. Refer to the iPod
user manual
● If the configuration has been made on an Apple computer,
configure it on a Windows
personal computer
● Save the music tracks as audio files compatible with the
Infotainment system
These operations will not
compromise the sound quality or
usability of the iPod tracks.
Playing saved audio files
The Media player detects when a
USB audio device is connected to the USB port and a library is created and
displayed automatically after the
ignition is switched on.

Voice recognition49system may not recognise your
voice command.
● Background noise and loud external noises can also cause
voice commands to be
misunderstood. It may be
necessary to close all windows
and sunroof, switch off the air
conditioning and request that
passengers do not speak whilst
you deliver your voice command.
● After activating the Voice recognition system, always wait
for the audible signal before
speaking, otherwise the system
will only register part of the voice
command and will not recognise
it.
● If the system does not recognise the voice command, a messageasks you to repeat it. If the voice
command is still not recognised,
the list of recorded voice
commands is played back.
Repeat the desired voice
command when it is played back.
In the event the system still does not recognise the voice
command, the Voice recognitionsystem is automatically
deactivated.
● If no voice command is given within a few seconds of activating
Voice recognition, the system will
automatically deactivate.
Important notes on language
support
● Voice commands are programmed to be recognised bythe system in a particular
language. However, the system
does not need to identify a unique voice, therefore voice commands
can be recognised regardless of
the person speaking.
● The system is able to recognise voice commands in different
languages, but will only
recognise voice commands
based on the language currently
set.
● Languages selectable for the Voice recognition system
include:English, German, French, Italian,
Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch,
Polish and Turkish.
To change the language of the
Handsfree system (including
Voice recognition), refer to the
vehicle Owner's Manual or
consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
