C
ont
amin
ation, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Please observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data device due to the da-
ta device configuration or the devices and
programs used for recording. Information about the best ways to create audio files and
data medi
a (compression rate, ID3 tag, etc.)
shall be found, for example, on the Internet.
Complex folder structures can also slow
down the reading of data.
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
stored on the data medium at the locations
referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).

Audio mode
Audio files on an external data medium con-
nect ed t
o the USB por
t 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 compatible audio files are shown. Other
files are ignored.
The remaining operations for handling exter-
nal data media (change of track, track selec-
tion and activating playback modes) are per-
formed similarly to those of the other audio
sources (e.g “Playing SD card” ››› page 13.
Instructions and restrictions
The number of USB ports and the compat-
ibility with Apple™ devices, as well as with
other media players, depend on the unit.
The USB port supplies the usual USB volt-
age of 5 volts for a USB connection.
Due to the large number of different data me-
dia and various iPod™, iPad™ and iPhone™
generations available, it is not possible to
guarantee error-free operation of all func-
tions described here.
Take into account all other instructions and
limitations regarding requirements for media
sources ››› page 11. Disconnecting
