few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
Playlists are updated whenever the ignition
is switched off or a USB memory stick is
connected. The audio system memorises these
lists, which will subsequently load faster if they
have not been changed.

Depending on equipmentConnect a portable device (MP3 player,
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an
audio cable (not supplied).
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"
has been selected in the audio settings.

Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage
devices, BlackBerry® devices and Apple® players
via the USB ports. The adapter cable is not
supplied.
Devices are managed using the audio system

a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth
streaming, if compatible.
The audio system will only play audio files with
".wma", ".aac", ".flac", ".ogg" and ".mp3" file
extensions, at bit rates between 32 Kbps and
320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other file types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.
All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.
The supported sampling rates are 32, 44 and
48 KHz.
To avoid reading and display problems, we
recommend choosing file names less than 20
characters long that do not contain any special
characters (e.g. “ ? .

; ù).
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32 format
(File Allocation Table).
We recommend using the original USB
cable for the portable device.
