Bluetooth ®  audio device corresponds 
only to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you 
cannot operate it using the control panel 
of the vehicle's audio system. In this 
case, only the operations on the mobile 
device are available the same as when a

  The battery consumption of Bluetooth ®  
audio devices increases while 
Bluetooth 
®  is connected. 
  If a general mobile phone device is 
USB connected during music playback 
over the Bluetooth

Bluetooth ®  connection is disconnected. 
For this reason, you cannot have music 
playback over a Bluetooth

and music playback using a USB 
connection at the same time.
 
  The system may not operate normally 
depending on the Bluetooth ®   audio 
device.
