External audio source via AUX/USB*
input
An external audio source, e.g. an iPod
®
or
MP3 player, can be connected to the audio
system.
An audio source connected to the USB input
can be operated
25
using the car's audio con-
trols. A device connected via the AUX input
cannot be controlled via the car.
There is a recess in the right-hand rear edge
of the tunnel console where cables can be
routed so that the hatch can be closed with-
out cables being pinched.
An iPod
®
or MP3 player with rechargeable
batteries is recharged (when the ignition is on
or the engine is running) if the device is plug-
ged into the USB connection.
USB memory
To facilitate the use of a USB memory stick,
only store music files on it. It takes a lot
longer for the system to load storage media
that contains anything other than compatible
music files.
NOTE
The system supports mobile media com-
pliant with USB 2.0 and the FAT32 file sys-
tem and can handle 1000 folders with a
maximum of 254 subfolders/files in every
folder. The top level, which can handle up
to 1000 subfolders/files, is an exception to
this.
NOTE
When using a longer model USB memory
stick the use of a USB adapter cable is
recommended. This is to avoid mechanical
wear to the USB input and the connected
USB memory stick.
USB hub
It is possible to connect a USB hub to the
USB connection and thereby connect multi-
ple USB devices simultaneously. Selection of
USB device is made in USB mode under
USB menu Select USB device .
MP3 player
Many MP3 players have their own file sys-
tems that are not supported by the audio sys-
tem. For use in the system, an MP3 player
must be set in
USB Removable device/
Mass Storage Device
mode.
iPod
®
An iPod
®
is charged and supplied with power
by the USB connection* via the player's con-
nection cable.
NOTE
The system only supports the playback of
audio files from iPod
®
.
NOTE
When an iPod
®
is used as audio source,
the car's infotainment system has a menu
structure that is similar to the iPod
®
play-
er's own menu structure.
