For the Passat, a "USB connection" for connecting USB data storage media (USB sticks or MP3 player) may be ordered individually from VW as
special equipment.
The USB storage medium is connected to USB connection, the contents of the USB storage medium can be displayed and selected on radio/radio-
navigation system display. Voltage supply of the USB storage medium is provided via the USB connection in the vehicle.
Important Information

‹› Do not insert a MP3 player directly into the USB connection as this may damage the connection. Always use a USB extension cable instead.

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° degrees Celsius and 40° Celsius. For this
