Smartphone Integration

The "Smartphone Integration" optional extra enables the customer to play back audio files saved on a mobile phone. The option adds a USB port to the telephone base plate snap in cradle. The mobile phone can be connected to the car with a compatible snap-in cradle adapter, with all telephone functions remaining fully available.

Simultaneous use of the mobile phone in the snap-in adapter and the USB port in the center console is possible. However, the audio files on the mobile phone cannot be accessed while a device is connected to the USB port.
