SOUND, MEDIA AND INTERNET

Media via USB port

Connecting a device via USB port

An external audio source, e.g. an iPod^®or

MP3 player, can be connected to the audio

system via one of the car's USB ports.

The phone must be connected to the USB

port with white frame (when there are two

USB ports) when using Apple CarPlay* and

Android Auto*.

An external audio source, e.g. an iPod® or

MP3 player, can be connected to the audio

system via the car's USB port.

Devices with rechargeable batteries are

recharged when connected via USB and the

ignition is in position I, II or the engine is run-

ning.

The content of the external source can be loa-

ded more quickly if it only consists of compati-

ble formats. Video files can also be played

back via the USB port.

USB inputs* (type C) on rear of tunnel console for

charging telephones and tablets for example⁶.

Certain MP3 players have their own file sys-

tem that the car does not support.
