Cable and wireless con-
nections
Introduction to the topic
Some external 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 for cable connections.
·
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.
·
Make sure that the connecting cable is not
pinched or sharply bent.
·
Using unsuitable or damaged connecting
cables may damage devices and cause
malfunctions.
If a connected device is not recog-
nised, disconnect all devices 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 device. In some cases this will
remedy the fault.
USB port
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
USB port types
The following USB ports may be available in
the vehicle:
— Type C : suitable for data transfer and
the charging function.
— Type C
: suitable only for the charging
function (for charging batteries of external
devices).
Each USB port is a cable connection which
can be operated only using a suitable con-
necting cable.
The USB port supplies the customary USB
voltage of 5 volts.
The USB types and also the number and in-
stallation locations of the USB ports depend
on the vehicle and market.
Only supported audio files are displayed. Oth-
er files will be ignored.
The Infotainment system only supports mass
storage and audio sources in “mass storage
mode”. Please refer to the description of your
audio source on how to activate this mode.
Audio files on an external data medium con-
nected to the USB port can be played and
controlled via the Infotainment system.
Before connecting an audio source,
check which USB port is installed in
your vehicle. Only use suitable USB connect-
ing cables which are appropriate for the in-
stalled USB type.
— USB ports “Type A” and “Type C” have dif-
ferent connector shapes.
