Media mode

Introduction

“Media sources” are referred to as audio sources

that contain audio data in different data storage

units, such as external MP3 Players or audio files.

These audio files may only be played by the re-

spective units or audio inputs of the radio system

(USB port, Bluetooth® interface, SD card or AUX-

IN multimedia port).

Copyrights

Audio and video files stored in data media are

generally subject to copyright laws, as per appli-

cable national and international standards. All

applicable legal provisions must be followed.

This product is protected by copyrights of

Microsoft Corporation. This technology may

not be reproduced or marketed without prior au-

Limitations and recommendations

regarding data carriers

Dirt, high temperatures and mechanical damage

may render a data carrier useless. Pay attention

to the data carrier manufacturers instructions.

The difference in data carrier quality from differ-

ent manufacturers may cause playback interfer-

ences.

The configuration of a data carrier or the devices

and programs used to record the data may result

in some titles or data carriers being unreadable.

Information on the best ways to create audio

files and data carriers (rate of compression, ID3-

tag etc.) can be found, for example, on the Inter-

net.

Due to the size, use (number of copies and dele-

tions), of the structure of the folders and file type

of the used data carrier the reading time may

vary substantially.

A playlist only defines a certain playback se-

quence. Files are not memorized on the playlists.

The playlists are not played back when the files

on the data carrier are not saved where the play-

list is looking for them (path related data). 

Audio data storage unit playback

sequence

Fig. 19 Possible structure of a data storage unit.

In data storage units, audio files are often  or-

ganized into data folders  and playlists  in or-

der to define a certain playback sequence.

Tracks, folders, and playlists are classified nu-

merically and alphabetically according to the

name of the data storage unit.

The figure → Fig. 19 shows a typical data storage

unit containing tracks,  folders  and subfold-

ers.

Therefore, the tracks and folders of this data

storage unit are played and displayed in the fol-

Introduction to phone controls

Introduction

The phone functions detailed below can be ac-

cessed through the device when there is an ac-

tive paired and connected mobile phone.

The mobile phone must support the Bluetooth®

function in order to establish a connection be-

tween the mobile phone and the device.

If no mobile phone is connected to the device,

phone control will not be available.

Instructions to use mobile phones in vehicles

without external aerial connection → Booklet Op-

erating manual.

WARNING

Using mobile phones while driving may distract

drivers and cause accidents.

●Always drive carefully and responsibly.

●Adjust sound volume settings to allow the

driver to hear external warnings and sounds

(e.g. emergency service sirens)

●In locations with partial or lack of mobile

coverage, and depending on the circumstan-

ces (tunnels, garages and underground pas-

sages) telephone call may be hindered, pre-

venting the use of mobile devices (including

emergency calls).

WARNING

If a mobile phone is not secured or not properly

secured in the vehicle, it could be flung though

the interior during a sudden driving or braking

manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident. This

can cause injuries.

●Always attach mobile phones properly and

out of airbag triggering areas while driving.

WARNING

Mobile phones can cause interference when

positioned nearby heart pacemakers.

●Keep a minimum distance of 20 centimetres

between the mobile phone's antenna and

the heart pacemaker, since the former may

interfere with the latter.

●Do not carry activated mobile phones in

chest pockets directly over heart pacemak-

ers.

●Turn off mobile phones immediately when-

ever there is suspicion of interference with

pacemakers.

NOTICE

High speed, unfavourable weather and road con-

ditions, as well as poor network connection may

hinder or interrupt mobile phone calls inside the

vehicle. 

General information

Bluetooth® technology connects mobile phones

to the vehicle's phone controls. A single pairing

process is required in order to use the phone

controls with mobile phones equipped with Blue-

tooth®.

Some Bluetooth® mobile phones are recognized

and connected immediately upon switching on

the ignition, if such phones have been previously

connected. At the same time, the mobile phone

and its embedded Bluetooth® feature must be

activated, and all active Bluetooth® connections

with other devices must be disconnected.

Bluetooth® radio communication is free of

charge.

Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue-

tooth ® SIG, Inc.

Bluetooth® Profiles

Whenever mobile phones are connected to the

phone controls, data will be exchanged through

one of the Bluetooth® profiles.

Phone use via Bluetooth® Hands-Free-Profile

(HFP):

–If mobile phones are connected via HFP with

phone controls, wireless calls can be made via

the hands-free device. In this case, the exter-

nal aerial cannot be used. Instructions to use

mobile phones in vehicles without external

aerial connection → Booklet Operating man-

ual.
