A2DP is a profile which transmits only
audio to the Bluetooth
® unit. If your
Bluetooth
® audio device corresponds only
to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot
operate it using the control panel of the
vehicle's audio system. In this case, only
the operations on the mobile device are
available the same as when a portable
audio device for a non-compliant
Bluetooth
® device is connected to the
AUX terminal.

NOTE
The battery consumption of Bluetooth®
audio devices increases while
Bluetooth
® is connected.
If a general mobile phone device is USB
connected during music playback over
the Bluetooth
® connection, the
Bluetooth
® connection is disconnected.
For this reason, you cannot have music
playback over a Bluetooth
® connection
and music playback using a USB
connection at the same time.
If a device which supports AVRCP Ver.
1.6 or higher is connected, song
information may not display correctly.
The system may not operate normally
depending on the Bluetooth
® audio
device.
