External audio sources via the AUX/USB sockets
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.
