INFOTAINMENT
Playing media through the USB
socket
An external media device, such as an iPod® or
an mp-3 player can be connected to the infotain-
ment system.
A device with rechargeable batteries can be
recharged when it is connected to the USB
socket (if the ignition is on or the engine is run-
ning).
To help the system index the contents of a USB
flash drive faster, it is advisable to only store files
with compatible file formats on it. It will take con-
siderably longer for the system to index the files
on the drive if it contains anything other than
compatible files.
In addition to audio, the vehicle's media player
also supports video playback when the external
device is connected to the USB socket.
Certain mp-3 players have proprietary file formats
that are not supported by the infotainment sys-
tem.

Connecting a device via the USB
socket
External audio sources such as an iPod
player can be connected to the infotainment sys-
tem via the USB socket in the tunnel console.
Route the cable out under the front edge to help
avoid pinching it when the cover is closed.
If there are two USB sockets, the one with a
white frame should be used to connect a cell
phone to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto*.
