ignition is turned on.
• Files that are not standard format music files will not be played.

external USB devices.
• Encoded MP3 Players will not be recognised when connected
as an external device.

be correctly recognised as a USB in some instances.
• Only products formatted with byte/sectors under 64 kbytes will

device may differ depending on the type, size, or file formats
stored on the USB.

Connect the USB directly with the multimedia socket of the vehi-
