  With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.When the en
gine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on 
the battery charge. 
The switch-o
ff is normal: the system switches to economy mode and 
switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.  
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge. 
  Pla
yback of my USB memory stick starts only 
after a very long wait (around 2 to 3 minutes).Some fi les supplied with the memor
y stick may greatly slow down access 
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time).  Delete the fi les supplied with the memory stickand limit the number of sub-folders in the fi le structure on the memory stick. 
  When I connect m
yiPhone as telephone and 
to the USB port at thesame time, I am unable 
to play the music fi les. When the iPhone connects automaticall
y as a telephone, it forces the 
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USBfunction which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the 
track being played with AppleÆ   players.Æ
  Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port (the USB function takes priority over streaming).
