Connecting an external audio source via the AUX/USB sockets
External audio sources such as an iPod® or mp3 player can be connected to the infotainment system via the AUX and USB sockets in the center console storage compartment (see the illustration).
To connect an audio source:
Connect your device to one of the sockets.
From the media’s normal view, press MEDIA, turn TUNE to the desired audio source, e.g., USB, iPod or AUX and press OK/MENU.
Reading USB will appear in the center console display as the system reads the device's file structure. The amount of time required for this depends on the file structure and number of files.
Note
- The system supports a number of iPod® models produced in 2005 or later.
- In order to help avoid damage to the USB socket, it will be switched off if there is a short circuit or if the connected device uses too much current (which can happen if the device does not comply with the USB standard). The USB socket will reactivate the next time the ignition is switched on if the problem no longer exists. If the problem persists, contact a trained and authorized Volvo service technician.
