USB audio interface

The audio socket (AUX-IN connection) can be used to connect an external audio source (e. g. MP3-or CD player) via a 3.5 mm jack plug. The unit is operated on the operating elements of the external audio source. The AUX-IN connection with USB port (SA6FL USB audio interface) is available as optional equipment. External audio sources with USB port are integrated in the vehicle's entertainment system via this USB audio interface (switched). A connection for Smartphones is offered for connection of the MP3-player in the mobile phone (SA6NF Extended connectivity of the music player in the mobile phone).
