Safety notes
WARNING
Using the radio system while the vehicle is in motion can distract you
from the road and lead to accidents.
● Observe legal requirements.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or brak-
ing manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always secure external devices proper-
ly outside the airbag deployment zones.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting
a new audio source ⇒ page 11.
WARNING
Opening a CD/DVD player's housing can lead to injuries from invisible la-
ser radiation.
● Have CD/DVD players repaired only by a qualified workshop. 

Audio mode
Text information, known as radio text, can also be broadcast. It is possible
to adjust the display to show radio text ⇒ page 35. Radio text will then be
shown instead of the station name. Not all stations support radio text. The
individual radio station is responsible for the texts displayed.
RDS also allows automatic station tracking. This means that the unit always
switches to the frequency that offers the best reception of the current radio
station as the vehicle travels from one area to the next. It is possible to sup-
press automatic frequency changing ( ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY OFF)
⇒  page 35.
On some units it is possible to switch off the RDS function for travel in areas
where RDS is not used ⇒ page 35. 

Media sources are audio sources containing audio files on various different
data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be played
by the radio system from its corresponding players or audio input sockets
(internal CD player , external CD changer, AUX-IN multimedia socket).

Additional instructions
Additional instructions for the mass storage device (MSD):
●Only external data devices or USB mass storage devices complying with
the USB 2.0 specification can be used.
● Partition of an external data device shall be in accordance with the file
system, FAT16 (2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table).
● MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) players, recognised by the commercial
name “PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista”, are highly sensitive to factors in-
cluding the battery charge and the volume of data in the MEDIA-IN multime-
dia interface requests. It may take several minutes before an MTP player is
ready to play.
● When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex
data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it
may take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be
influenced by the connected device.
● The structure of the folders in the external data device shall not exceed a
depth of eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1000 en-
tries.
● The use of USB cable extensions and USB hubs may cause operating er-
rors.
● If an external data device is divided into various partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.
● Memory card adapters cannot be used, their use may cause operating
errors.
● If an MP3 player is updated via the manufacturer (firmware update) this
may lead to operating errors.
● An external data device should be connected first or select the corre-
sponding data mode.
● Compatible formats include: MP3, WMA, OGG-Vorbis, AAC.
● Please refer to the respective manufacturer's manual for instructions on
the operation of the external data medium. Compatible file formats
The use of file formats which can be played on this equipment is the same
as for compressed audio files in MP3 format and will not be explained fur-
ther in this manual.
●
The radio and navigation equipment can be used to play and control au-
dio files in MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC format from an external data
device.
● Playlists in PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL format are compatible.
● WMA (Windows Media Audio) audio files can only be played if they are
not protected by authors' rights with the DRM (Digital Rights Management)
system.
● Generally, files with anti-copy protection cannot be played (e.g. M4P).
● Files in 3GP format and “WMA lossless” file types cannot be played.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist is not played, check whether the “route da-
ta” is correct, that is, whether the MP3 files are stored in the data device to
which the playlist refers.
WARNING
● The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-
chanical damage and other kind of wear.
● We do not hold responsible for any possible damage on the connec-
ted devices.
● The connection of USB devices is sensitive to interference from mo-
bile telephones. Mobile telephones should not be left next to the USB
when this is connected, to prevent distortion.
● The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-
chanical damage and other kind of wear.
● Objects which are not secured in the vehicle compartment may inter-
fere with driving and could result in serious injury. 
