Playing media through the AUX/USB sockets
An external media device, such as an iPod or an mp-3 player can be connected to the infotain-ment system.
A device with rechargeable batteries can be recharged when it is connected to the USBsocket (if the ignition is on or the engine is run-ning). To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store files with compatible fileformats on it. It will take considerably longer forthe system to index the files on the drive if it con-tains anything other than compatible files. In addition to audio, the vehicle's media player also supports video playback when the externaldevice is connected to the USB socket. Certain mp-3 players have proprietary file formats that are not supported by the infotainment sys-tem.
