The MEDIA menu allows you to view and play tracks stored on USB/Bluetooth audio or the AUX source (connected to the USB port).

It is advisable to load only unprotected music files with supported extensions. The presence of other file formats on the USB device (for example .exe .cab .inf etc.) may cause problems during playback.

To connect your USB device to the system, proceed as follows:

  • Connect the device to the USB socket in the glovebox;
  • Turn the vehicle's ignition key to the ACC position. The system will automatically start playing your digital tracks, selecting them from a library that is created when the USB device is connected.
Once the multimedia library has been created, the system can be used to view and select the tracks stored on it and to start playback.
