tainment (RSE)*, an audio switch is located in
the tunnel console for switching from AUX and
RSE. The switch has two positions:
CAUTION
The cover over the cup holders should be
open when a device is connected to the
AUX socket.
•AUX: sound from an auxiliary device is
heard from the audio system's speakers
•RSE: sound from the RSE system is heard
from the audio system's speakers
AUX*The AUX (auxiliary) port can be used to con-
nect a device such as an MP3 player.
Turn the SELECTOR control (see the illustra-
tion on page 250) to choose
AUX.
If the player is being charged through a 12-volt
socket while it is connect to the AUX port,
sound quality may be impaired.
The volume of the external sound source AUX
may be different from the volume of the internal
sound sources such as the CD player or the
radio.
USB
USB connector in glove compartment
If you connect an iPodŸ, MP3 player or a USB

The text
Loading will be displayed while
the system loads the files (folder struc-
ture) on the device. This may take a
short time.
When the information has been loaded, infor-
mation about the tracks on the device will be
displayed.
The
/ buttons can be used to fast
forward/reverse or change tracks:
•Press briefly to change tracks.
•Press slightly longer to fast forward/
reverse.
The arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad
can also be used in the same way.
NOTE
•The system supports a number of
iPodŸ models produced in 2005 or later.
•In order to help avoid damage to the
USB socket, it will be switched off if
there is a short circuit or if the con-
nected device uses too much current
(which can happen if the device does
not comply with the USB standard). The
USB socket will reactivate the next time
the ignition is switched on if the problem
no longer exists. If the problem persists,
contact a trained and authorized Volvo
service technician.
USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store music files on the drive.
It will take considerably longer for the system
to index the files on the drive if it contains any-
thing other than compatible music files.
NOTE
•The system supports removable media
that uses the USB 2.0 standard and the
FAT32 file system. It can index up to
1,000 folders and a maximum of 254
sub-folders/files for each folder. How-
ever, the highest folder level can sup-
port up to 1,000 sub-folders/files.
•When using a longer type of USB
device, connecting it with a USB
adapter cable will help reduce mechan-
ical wear on the USB socket and on the
device.
iPodŸ
An iPodŸ is charged and draws current if it is
connected to the USB connector. However, if
the battery is completely discharged, it should
be charged before the iPod
Ÿ is connected to
the USB connector.
BluetoothŸ streaming audio (BT)The vehicle's audio system is equipped with
BluetoothŸ, which makes it possible to play
streaming audio files from a BluetoothŸcon-
nected cell phone. Navigation and control of
the phone can be done through the vehicle's
center console control panel or the steering
wheel keypad. On certain cell phones, it is also

possible to change tracks from the phone
itself.
In order to listen streaming audio, BT must be
selected as a sound source (see page 253) and

port Audio/Video Remote Control Profile

of these standards are used, certain fea-
tures (e.g., scan or random) may not func-
tion.
