radio Ram ProMaster 2017 Owner's Guide

Due to the extensive range of brands and models of storage
devices available on the market, not all devices are com-
patible with proper functioning of the car radio.
NOTE:The car radio is only compatible with USB mass
storage devices that are fully compatible with the USB 2.0
standard. Use quality USB devices only.
In USB mode, the radio plays MP3, WMA and AAC files
stored on the device connected to the USB port that is
located on the lower right side of the steering wheel on the
instrument panel. To enter USB mode, you must push the SRC button. When
you enter USB mode, the display shows
LOADINGwhile
the radio checks whether the connected device is valid.
If there is no USB device, an invalid USB device, or a valid
device that is defective, the display will show ERR USB
for two seconds and the radio remains in TUNER mode. If
a valid device does not contain any playable files (i.e. MP3,
WMA or AAC), the display will show NO MUSICfor two
seconds and the radio remains in TUNER mode.

If playable files are found, the radio will also check that the
connected device is the same as the one used immediately
before the USB function. If this is the case, music playback
will start from the point where it was interrupted (file andmusic runtime). If not, the file played will be the first valid
file, in the sequence shown in the following example:
