Cable and wireless con-
nections
Introduction to the topic
Some e xternal devices can be connected to
the Infotainment system by cable and wire-
less connections present in the vehicle (if in-
stalled).
The type and number of cable and wireless
connections differ according to country and
vehicle. The connections may also be differ-
ent within a model series or in special-edition
models.
In the case of cable connections, use only the
original device connecting cables or, if availa-
ble, the factory-supplied connecting cables
for your vehicle.
If the plug on the connecting cable cannot be
inserted, check the angle of insertion and the
connections. NOTICE
Use only suitable and undamaged connecting
cables f
or cable connections.
x When inserting the plugs of the connect-
ing cables into the appropriate connection,
ensure that they are correctly positioned
and apply only light pressure. Applying too
much pressure may damage both the unit
connection and the plug of the connecting
cable.
x Make sure that the connecting cable is not
pinched or sharply bent.
x Using unsuitable or damaged connecting
cables may damage devices and cause
malfunctions. If a connected device is not recog-
nised, disconnect all de

vices and con-
nect the device again. If necessary, check
that the connecting cable you are using is
working properly. If a connected device malfunctions, re-
start the de

vice. In some cases this will
remedy the fault. USB port
