External audio sources via the AUX/USB sockets

External audio sources such as an iPod® or an mp3 player can be connected to the infotainment system.

A device with rechargeable batteries can be recharged when it is connected to the USB socket (if the ignition is on or the engine is running).

The FAV button can be used to store frequently used functions. The stored function can then be started by pressing FAV, see Favorites.

Listening and navigating menus

An audio source connected to the USB socket can be operated using the infotainment controls. This is not the case for a device connected via the AUX socket.

From the source’s normal view, turn TUNE to access the folder structure or to search among categories. Navigate in this structure by turning TUNE and select a folder by pressing OK/MENU. Leave the structure by pressing EXIT.

Play a file by pressing OK/MENU.

When the file is finished, the next one will begin playing. When all of the files in a folder have been played, another folder will automatically be selected.

Media searches

Searches can be performed on all of your devices (USB, CD, etc.). For more information about the search functions, see Media Search.

USB flash drive

To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store music files on it. It will take considerably longer for the system to index the files on the drive if it contains anything other than compatible music files.

 Note

The system supports removable media that uses the USB 2.0 standard and the FAT32 file system.

 Note

When using a longer type of USB device, connecting it with a USB adapter cable will help reduce mechanical wear on the USB socket and on the device.

Mp3 player

Many MP3 players have a file indexing system that is not supported by the vehicle's infotainment system. In order to use an MP3 player, the system must be set to USB Removable device/Mass Storage Device.

iPod®

 Note

The system will only play audio files from an iPod®.

 Note

To start playback, the source should be set to iPod® (not USB).

When iPod® is used as a sound source, the infotainment system has a menu structure similar to the one in the iPod®.
