A Bluetooth®-enabled cell phone or other devicecan be paired and wirelessly connected to theinfotainment system.
When a cell phone or other device is connected,audio can be streamed to the infotainment sys-tem. Toggle between the devices by pressing theTEL and MEDIA buttons to access the respectivesources' functions.
Before a Bluetooth device can be used withthe infotainment system, it has to be paired("registered").
This procedure only needs to be done once foreach device (a maximum of 20 Bluetooth devicescan be paired to the system). Once a device hasbeen paired and its Bluetooth function is acti-vated, it can then be selected for use (wirelesslyconnected) to the vehicle's infotainment system.
Two Bluetooth devices can be connected at thesame time. However, if two cell phones are con-nected, only the most recently connected onecan be used as a phone. The other one can beused to e.g., to stream audio or video. To changewhat the phone will be used for, see the article"Bluetooth settings."
A paired and connected cell phone can also beused to connect the vehicle to the Internet. To doso, its tethering/personal hotspot function mustbe activated.

Playing media through theAUX/USB sockets
An external media device, such as an iPod or anmp-3 player can be connected to the infotain-ment system.
A device with rechargeable batteries can berecharged when it is connected to the USBsocket (if the ignition is on or the engine is run-ning).
To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it isadvisable to only store files with compatible fileformats on it. It will take considerably longer forthe system to index the files on the drive if it con-tains anything other than compatible files.
In addition to audio, the vehicle's media playeralso supports video playback when the externaldevice is connected to the USB socket.
Certain mp-3 players have proprietary file formatsthat are not supported by the infotainment sys-tem.
