Connection points for external audio sources.
An external audio source, e.g. an iPod or MP3
player, can be connected to the audio system
via any of the connections in the centre con-
sole. An audio source connected to the USB

input can then be handled with the car's audio
controls. A device connected via the AUX input
cannot be controlled via the car.
There is a recess in the right-hand rear edge of
the tunnel console where cables can be routed
so that the hatch can be closed without cables
being pinched.

keypad* and/or remote control* then in
many cases these can be used instead of
the buttons in the centre console. For a
description of the steering wheel keypad,
see page 238. For a description of the
remote control, see page 282.
