USB player
This connection box comprises a USB port and
a Jack auxiliary socket.
USB port
The USB port allows the connection of a
portable device, such as an iPod®-type digital
audio player, or a USB memory stick.
The USB reader reads your audio files which
are then transferred to the audio system and
played via the vehicle’s speakers.
These files are managed via the steering wheel
controls or from the audio system.
When connected to the USB port,
the portable device can be charged
automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the portable
device exceeds the amperage supplied by
the vehicle.
The USB also allows a telephone to be
connected by a MirrorLink™ connection, so
that use can be made in the touch screen tablet
of certain applications on the telephone.
Jack auxiliary socket
The Jack auxiliary socket allows the connection
of a portable device, such as a digital audio
player, so that your audio files can be played
through the vehicle's speakers.
These files are managed from the portable
device.
