The imported USB music data is stored in file folders with USB 1, USB 2 etc. in the
music collection. These folders are also shown together with a folder icon as the files

Compatible USB sticks must be FAT formatted and must support the Mass Storage
Class USB protocol. The format can be easily checked on any PC running the Windows
operating system.
The file system (FAT 16, FAT 32 or NTFS) is shown under properties of the USB stick in
the Windows Explorer. The protocol which is used is shown by clicking the hardware icon
in the windows information area.
When using a USB stick device with several partitions, the music data files must be
located in the first partition in order to be recognized and processed.
USB hard drives, USB hubs and USB memory card readers with several slots cannot be
read when connected to the USB jack in the glove compartment and therefore can not
be used.
Depending on the USB lead used, the mass storage device may be able to be charged
through the USB interface. However, the power consumption of the mass storage device
must not exceed the maximum level of 500 mA permitted.
It is recommended that when charging a storage device, only the USB audio interface in
the center console be used and not the USB in the glove compartment.
Note: The USB interface in the glove compartment is only intended for the
import and export of data (music or personal profiles) to and from the
vehicle.
