An iPod is not recognised when connecting to the USB port.
The iPod is of a generation that is not compatible with the USB.
The hard disk or device is not recognised when connecting to the USB port.
Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is provided by the audio system. Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V socket or an external power supply.
Caution : ensure that the device does not transmit a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of destruction of the system).
When streaming, the sound cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profi le. Delete the "hands-free" connection profi le to improve streaming.

In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to 999 tracks.
With the engine off, the audio system switches off after a few minutes of use.

The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is t\
oo high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode \
leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the C\
D.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
