MP3 playback via USB
You can connect a USB removable media drive
with MP3 fi les to the interface to play the MP3
fi les via the car sound system. The car sound sys-
tem must be switched on. During a hands-free
telephone call and with active audio streaming,
the USB playback is interrupted.
By turning the button left or pressing the radio
button <, you jump to the start of the track cur-
rently playing (playback time > 3 sec.) or to the
previous track.
By turning the button right or pressing the radio
button >, you jump to the next track.
Forward and reverse can be done as before with
a long press on the Right or Left button of your
radio.
Mix, Repeat and Scan settings should also be
performed on your radio.
During the MP3 playback, the OLED display
shows additional information from the MP3
fi les ("ID3 tags"). In the Settings menu, you can
select different views and confi gurations for
this purpose. If ID3 tags to be displayed should
not be fi lled out in MP3 fi les (e.g. no track), the
note "No Track" is displayed.
Browsing (OLED)
During the MP3 playback from the USB medium,
press the rotary button to reach the Browsing
mode. It allows you a convenient navigation
through the directories of your music collec-
tion on the USB medium. While selecting a new
song, the currently played song continues be-
ing played. Only after confi rmation does the new
song begin to be played.
"Please wait" indicates that new list entries are
being searched.
The displayed 3-line list contains all the subdi-
rectories, playlists and MP3 fi les in the current-
ly used directory of your USB memory.
The currently played MP3 fi le is preselected and
identifi ed with "->".
You scroll through the list entries by turning the ro-
tary button left or right.
A list entry is a subdirectory or a playlist:
Pressing on the rotary button opens the sub-
directory or the playlist.
The display corresponds to the aforementioned
one.
List entry is MP3 fi le:
Pressing on the rotary button end the current
playback and starts the playback of the select-
ed fi le. The display corresponds to the aforemen-
tioned one.
Pressing on the red phone button calls up the
higher-level directory.
With the up/down radio buttons, you reach the
next/previous directory or playlist according to
the memory order on the USB memory device.
Note:
The browsing mode is exited automatically 30 sec-
onds after the last button or rotary button acti-
vation or manually with a long press on the red
phone button.

Tip: (OLED or PTT)

The convenient navigation through your USB fi le
structure allows you to clearly organise your mu-
sic data and quickly access the data.
However, a large number of directories, particu-
larly on large USB hard disks, slow down access
to your music data. As an alternative, try to organ-
ise your music collection via playlists (M3U playl-
ists, for format see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/
M3U).
