Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning the system.
Radio
The reception quality of the tuned radio
station gradually deteriorates or the station
presets are not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz
is displayed, etc.).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
► Activate the "RDS" function in the upper bar to enable the system to check whether there is
a more powerful transmitter in the geographical
area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged
(for example while entering a car wash or
underground car park).
► Have the aerial checked by a dealer .I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
received stations.
The name of the radio station changes.
The station is no longer received or its name has
changed in the list.
► Press the round arrow on the "List" tab on the "Radio" page.
Some radio stations send other information
in place of their name (the title of the song for
example).
The system interprets these details as the station
name.
► Press the round arrow on the "List" tab on the "Radio" page.
Media
Playback of my USB memory stick starts only

file structure on the memory stick.
Some characters in information about the
currently playing media are not displayed
correctly.
