Media mode Introduction
“Media sources” are audio sources containing audio files on various differ-
ent 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 sock-
et).

Requirements for media sources and audio files
Factory-fitted CD players conform to safety class 1 according to
DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837. The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs.
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio
files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio
data CD”.
Media sourceRequirements for playing in the unit Audio CDs (up to 80 mi-
nutes).– CD Digital Audio specification .
CD, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW
with audio data of up to 700
MB (megabytes) in accord-
ance with ISO 9660 or Joliet
file system.– MP3 files (.mp3) with bitrates of between
48 and 320 kbit/s or with variable bitrate.
– WMA files (.wma) up to 9.0 without copy
protection.
– Playlists in the formats PLS and M3U.
– Playlists no larger than 20 kB and contain-
ing no more than 250 links.
– Max. 32 playlists on a data medium.
– File names not longer than 64 characters.
– Folder structures with a maximum of ten
levels.
– Max. 120 folders and max. 500 files on a
data medium.
Audio file playback via
Bluetooth ®a)
.– The external audio source must be com-
patible with Bluetooth ®
A2DP or AVRCP pro-
files and must be paired with a factory-fitted
mobile phone with this function

Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage can
render a data medium unusable. Please observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista ®
ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Compatibility with all encoding/recording software, recording de-
vices and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible USB devi-
ces can make noise, interrupt playback or not playback at all. Information
about the best ways to create audio files and data media (compression
rate, ID3 tag etc.) can be found on the Internet.
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data me-
dium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in
a playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not stored on the
data medium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths). Playing order for audio data CDs
Fig. 14 Example of an MP3 CD structure.
Audio files on data media are often sorted by folders and playlists
to
determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order.
Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the se-
quence on the CD.
The illustration ⇒ Fig. 14 shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks
,
folders and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in
the following order: Tracks 1
and 2 in the root directory
of the CD (display: ROOT).
Tracks 3 and 4 in the first folder F1 in the root directory of the CD
(display: 01).
Track 5
in the first subfolder F1.1 of the folder
F1 (display: 02).

External audio sources (AUX and audio
Bluetooth ®
)
Introduction
The external audio sources described here can only be played over the vehi-
cle speakers, but cannot be controlled via the radio system.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes ⇒ page 4
● Unit overview ⇒ page 6
● Media mode ⇒ page 21
● System and function settings (SETUP) ⇒ page 52
Note
Please read and observe the manufacturer's manual for the external audio
source.
External audio source connected to the AUX-IN multimedia
socket
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the multimedia socket AUX-IN may
be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manual to
locate the position of the socket.
The AUX-IN multimedia socket can only be used with a 3.5 mm jack plug.
The external audio source connected is indicated by the AUX
function but-
ton in the Media selection menu . If the function button
AUX
is not displayed,
AUX must be activated in the
SETUP menu ⇒ page 52.
Connecting an external audio source to the AUX-IN multimedia socket
● Connect the external audio source to the AUX-IN multimedia socket.
● Lower the basic volume of the radio ⇒ page 8.
● Start playback on the external audio source.
● Open the Media selection menu and select the AUX
function button
⇒ page 24.
The output volume of a connected external audio source should be adjusted
to the volume of the other audio sources ⇒ page 53.
Vehicles with AUX-IN multimedia socket and MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
In vehicles also equipped with the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface the MEDIA-IN
function button is displayed instead of the AUX function button
⇒ page 30.
An external audio source connected to the AUX-IN multimedia socket can
only be played when no external data medium is connected to the MEDIA-IN
multimedia interface.
The audio source of the devices connected in the MEDIA-IN device (USB as
AUX-IN) takes priority over those connected in the RSE. Where both options
are available, make sure that there is nothing connected in the MEDIA-IN*
connections when you wish to listen to the audio source of the RSE
( ⇒ Booklet Rear Seat Entertainment) in the car.
Note
● When playback on the external audio source is stopped or the plug is
disconnected from the AUX-IN multimedia socket, the radio-navigation sys-
tem remains in the AUX menu.
● Interference may be heard if the external audio source is powered from
the vehicle’s 12-volt socket.

Audio mode
Playback of external media connected by Bluetooth ®
Bluetooth Audio mode is only available if the vehicle is equipped with a fac-
tory-fitted mobile phone preparation that supports this function. Please re-
fer to the relevant vehicle operating manual for information on operating
the mobile phone preparation ⇒ page 37.
The external media player (e.g. a mobile phone) must be compatible with
the Bluetooth ®
A2DP or AVRCP profiles.
In Bluetooth audio mode, audio files from a media player that is connected
via Bluetooth ®
can be played over the vehicle speakers.
Bluetooth Audio mode is indicated by BT-AUDIO or BLUETOOTH-AUDIO on the
display.
Starting Bluetooth ®
audio transfer
● You will have to pair and connect the external media player with the
Bluetooth interface of the mobile phone preparation as described in the in-
structions for the Mobile phone preparation ⇒ page 39.
● Lower the basic volume of the radio ⇒ page 8.
● Start playback in the external media player.
Starting playback over the vehicle loudspeakers
After starting, the procedure to transfer audio files depends on whether the
BLUETOOTH-AUDIO option is ON or OFF in the SETUP menu ⇒ page 52.
SETUP: BLUETOOTH-AUDIO OFF (default):
● After starting the Bluetooth audio transfer, a query is displayed to play
Bluetooth audio.
● Confirm the query.
● Bluetooth audio will start to play and the SETUP menu now displays
BLUETOOTH-AUDIO ON .
SETUP: BLUETOOTH-AUDIO ON : ●
After starting the Bluetooth audio transfer, you must change manually to
BLUETOOTH-AUDIO ⇒ page 24.Note
● Do not connect an external media player at the same time to play music
via Bluetooth and via the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface as this could cause
playback limitations.
● When the external media has finished playing, the radio system remains
in the BLUETOOTH-AUDIO menu.
● Always switch off the warning and service tones on a connected Blue-
tooth audio source, e.g. key tones on a mobile telephone, to prevent inter-
ference noise and malfunctions.
