Advice for dealing with external sources
An external audio source connected to the AUX input can be played in the car
through the speakers of the device.
External audio sources cannot be controlled via the device.
A different audio source can be selected on the device at any time. As long as the
external audio source is not switched off, it always remains active in the back-
ground.
See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for operating the external
audio source.
Conditions for successful connection
External audio sources are connected via the AUX input using a 3.5 mm standard
jack plug. If the external audio source does not have this jack plug, an adapter
needs to be used (such as an external source to the USB input).

Only USB devices with the specification 2.0 can be connected.

The version of the file allocation table FAT (File Allocation Table) of the connec-
ted device must be FAT16 ( <2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB).
