Setting up an Internet connection
(Canada)
Procedure and general information
In order to set up a mobile phone for Internet
access, your mobile phone must be connected
to the multimedia system via Bluetooth
®
(Ypage 90) or USB (Ypage 139).
If you are using Internet access for the first time,
you must enable the connected mobile phone
for Internet access (
Ypage 119). If the con-
nected mobile phone supports the Bluetooth®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet connec-
tion is established. If the connected mobile
phone does not support the named Bluetooth
®
profile or the named USB classes, predefined (
Ypage 120) or manual access data
(Ypage 120) must be set.
While initializing the mobile phone for the Inter-
net connection, access data which is already on
the mobile phone may be overwritten. You
should therefore check the settings on the
mobile phone (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions).
Enabling the mobile phone for Inter-
net access
XCall up Internet functions (Ypage 122).
XTo switch to the menu bar: slide 6the con-
troller.
XTo select Settings: turn and press the con-
troller.
XTo select Configure Internet Settings:
turn and press the controller.
A message is displayed telling you that the
settings for the Internet functions depend on
your mobile phone network provider and your
mobile phone.
If a mobile phone has already been enabled,
the device list is displayed.
XTo select Start Search: turn and press the
controller.
Mobile phones are displayed that:
Rare connected to the multimedia system
Rfulfill the conditions for the Internet func-
tions
Rhave not yet been set up for the Internet
function
XTo select a mobile phone from the device list: turn the controller and press to confirm.
If the mobile phone supports the Bluetooth
®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS, CDC/
NCM or CDC/ECM, Internet access is set up.
You can use the Internet functions.
If the connected mobile phone does not sup-
port the named Bluetooth
®profile or the
named USB classes, predefined (Ypage 120)
or manual access data (Ypage 120) must be
set.

The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product.
If you open the housing of the CD/DVD drive,
there is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation. This laser radiation could damage
your retina. There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have main-
tenance and repair work carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If you handle a disc while driving, you may be
distracted from the traffic situation. You could
also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only handle a disc when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.

Notes on audio/video mode
Permissible data carriers
RCD audio, CD-R and CD-RW
RDVD-R, DVD-V and DVD-RW
RSD card
RUSB storage device
Permissible file systems
RISO 9660/Joliet standard for CDs
RUDF for video DVDs
RFAT16, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS for SD card
and USB storage media
Multisession CDs
For multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how the multimedia system
processes the CD. The multimedia system plays
only one CD session and gives priority to CD
sessions with audio files.
File structure of a data carrier
When you create a disc with compressed music
files, the tracks can be organized in folders. A
folder may also contain subfolders. The disc
may contain no more than eight directory levels.
Files beyond the eighth level will not be recog-
nized by the system.
iThe multimedia system supports data carri-
ers with up to 50,000 files.
In the case of a data carrier with more than
64 GB of stored data, only files in folders with
the following names are supported: Music,
Pictures, Video.
Track and file names
When you create a disc with compressed music
files, you can assign names to the tracks and
folders.
If MP3 or WMA files are stored in the root direc- tory itself, the root directory will also be treated
as a folder.
You should observe the following when assign-
ing track names:
Rtrack names must have at least one character
Rtrack names must have an extension of a sup-
ported audio or video format, e.g. mp3, aac orm4v
Rthere must be a dot between the track name
and the extension
Example of a correct track name:
"Track1.mp3".
Permissible formats
The multimedia system supports the following
audio and video formats:
Audio for-
matsMP3, WMA, CDA, AAC for-
mats (.aac, .mp4, .m4a
and .m4b)

RWMA Pro
R5.1 surround sound
iOnly use tracks with a data rate of at least
128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least
44.1 kH z.Lower rates can cause a noticeable
deterioration in quality. This is especially the
case if you have activated a surround sound
function.

devices when the storage device is partitioned.
Up to 9 partitions (primary or logical, FAT, FAT32

Notes on copyright
Audio or video files that you create or reproduce
yourself for playback are generally subject to
copyright protection. In many countries, reproductions, even for pri-
vate use, are not permitted without the prior
consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply with
these.
Notes on CDs/DVDs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
Discs with copy protection are not compatible
with the audio CD standard and therefore may
not be able to be played.
Playback problems may occur when playing
copied discs.
There may be playback problems if you play CDs
that you have copied yourself with a storage
capacity of more than 700 MB.
iThe multimedia system is able to play back
audio CDs in multichannel audio format.
