Solution 
For  many  ce ll phones  or  mobile  devices,  playback is not  possible 
when  the  battery  level  is too low  (less  than  5%  of  its  capacity). 
The  mobile  de-vice  will  only  be  recognized  as  a  source  in the  MMI 
after  connecting  if the  battery  charge  is sufficient. 
The

problem-free  playback. 
When  importing  playlists,  a ll of  the  fi les  themselves  must  be  im-
ported. 
If  yo u cannot  find  impor ted  tracks  in the  media  center,  they  may 
not  be  supported.  Only copy  supported  files
