Introduction Media sources ar
e audio sources containing
audio files on various different data storage
devices (e.g. SD memory card, USB, external
MP3 player, etc.). These audio files can be
played by the infotainment system from its
corresponding drives or audio input sockets
(memory card slot, AUX-IN multi-media sock-
et etc.) Note

● The infotainment system only plays undam-
ag
ed compatible audio files; other files are
ignored.
● Consult the list of supported devices on the
w

Restrictions and instructions
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a data medium unusable. Please observe the
m
anufacturer'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
use adaptors for memory cards.
● We will not accept any responsibility for
fi
les damaged or lost on the data medium. 17

Media
Audio files on an external data storage de-
v ice 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 17.
Instructions and restrictions
Compatibility with Apple™ devices and other
media players depends on the unit.
The USB port supplies 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
limit
ations regarding requirements for media
sources ››› page 17.
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 ,
Tracks , Podcasts etc.).

and via the USB port
w ith the Infotain-
ment system, as this could cause playback
limitations.
● If the external player is an Apple device™,
it
cannot be simultaneously connected by
USB and by Bluetooth.
● If a connected device is not recognised, dis-
c
onnect all the connected devices and try
connecting the device again.
● Do not use memory card adaptors, USB ex-
t
ension cords or USB hubs! Connect external audio source via
Bluet
ooth® In Bluetooth audio mode, audio files from an
e
xternal audio source that is connected via
Bluetooth ®
, for example a mobile telephone
(Bluetooth audio playback), can be played
over the vehicle speakers.
Conditions
● The Bluetooth ®
audio sour
ce must support
the A2DP Bluetooth ®
profile.
● In the Bluetooth Settings menu the
Bluetooth Audio (A2DP/AVRCP)
function mu
st be on. Starting Bluetooth

audio tr
ansmission
● Activate Bluetooth ®
v

ephone).
● Lower the base volume on the Infotainment
sy
stem.
● Press the Infotainment MEDIA button.
● Click on the MEDIA function button and se-

● Please refer to the instructions on the
s
creen 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 extent 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
Bluet
ooth®
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
● D
ue to 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 connected Bluetooth audio source (for
example, the key tones of the mobile tele-
phone) to avoid interference noise and
anomalies in the operation.
● Depending on the external player connec-
t
ed, the response time of the system can
vary.
● Do not connect an external media player at
the s
ame time to play music via Bluetooth®
and via the USB port with the Infotainment
system, as this could cause playback limita-
tions.
● If the external player is an Apple device™,
it
cannot be simultaneously connected by
USB and by Bluetooth. 23
