Authorized Radio Units

Problem-free function is only guaranteed when a factory-installed Volkswagen RCD series radio or a Volkswagen RNS series navigation system is installed. Problem-free function is not assured by the use of radios from other manufacturers.

• Never remove the storage medium as long as the USB connection has been selected as the source (CD). It may destroy the storage medium.

• Do not insert a mp3 player directly into the USB connection as this may damage the connection. Always use a USB extension cable instead.

• Do not connect any other units than USB sticks or mp3 players to the interface. It is not possible to operate hard drives, USB hubs etc. via the interface.

• The maximum power input of the USB storage medium must not exceed 2.5 Watts (500 mA/5 V).

• Never insert metal objects into the USB connection. They may cause a short circuit and damage the unit.

• If storage medium is not detected by the interface within 15 seconds, remove storage medium and reinsert into USB connection.

• Some mp3 players must be activated by a button to establish a USB connection. Consult the mp3 player operating instructions for further information.

• The permissible temperature range of USB sticks and mp3 players is limited and often lies between 0 °C and 40 °C. For this reason, inform the customer that the storage medium must not be left in the vehicle for extended periods.
