Introduction
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the MEDIA-IN multimedia interfacemay be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manualto locate the position of the socket.
The supported file formats listed below are collectively referred to as “audiofiles”.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multime-dia interface can be played and controlled via the radio system.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means USB mass stor-age devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players, iPods™and USB sticks. External data media are displayed as MDI (Media Device In-terface) on the radio system.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of ap-proximately 5 volts.

If a playlist cannot be played, check that the “relativepaths” are correct, i.e. that the MP3 files on the data medium are actuallystored at the locations referenced by the playlist.
If an external data medium is divided into several partitions, only the firstpartition with compatible audio files will be played.
Please refer to further limitations and notes on the requirements placed onmedia sources ⇒ page 21.
