Press "OK" to confirm.
Radio reception may be affected by the
use of electrical equipment not approved
by the Brand, such as a
USB charger
connected to the 12
V socket.

may block reception, including in RDS
mode. This behaviour is normal in the
propagation of radio waves and does not
indicate any failure of the audio system.

100% of the territory. This explains the loss
of reception of the station during a

memory), an operation which can take from
a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the
