USB connection

The USB connection in the glove compartment is only present if the vehicle is equipped with a navigation system. In this case a Combox is always installed if the telephone function is available.

There is a USB port in the glove box. This can be used to update the map data for the navigation system. The CHAMP does not have a DVD drive.

NOTE: No import is possible via the USB audio interface!

It is not possible to import such data via the USB audio interface on the center console. This interface is still only intended for playback of external audio sources.

Item	Explanation
1	USB port in the glove box

USB sticks with the standard USB 1.1 are supported. However, the standard USB 2.0 (= high speed) is recommended. If the USB stick has been partitioned, the files must be located on the first partition. This is the only way these files are recognized and used. The USB interface supplies the USB stick with a maximum of 500 mA.

USB hard disks, USB hubs and USB memory card readers with a number of bays cannot be read at the USB interface.
