Media via AUX/USB input An external media source, e.g. an iPod or MP3 player, can be connected to the audio system.
A media source with rechargeable batteries is recharged when connected via USB and when the ignition is in position
I, II or the engine is run-
ning. To facilitate the use of a USB memory stick, only store compatible formats on it. It takes a lotlonger for the system to load storage media thatcontains anything other than compatible formats.In addition to audio, the media player also sup-ports video playback when the device is con-nected via USB. Some MP3 players have their own file systems that are not supported by the audio system.
