Make sure the following warnings and cautions have been read and fully understood before using any of the portable media controls or features. Failure to use the portable media controls or features safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury, death, or damage to the vehicle and its components.
Do not adjust the touchscreen controls, or allow the system to distract the driver, while the vehicle is moving. Driver distraction can lead to accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Make sure that any media devices are stored securely while the vehicle is in motion. Any loose objects are potential hazards during sudden maneuvers, emergency braking situations or accidents.
Sustained exposure to high sound levels, greater than 85 decibels, can damage hearing.
Read the manufacturer’s instructions for any device before it is connected to the media system. Make sure that the device is suitable. Comply with any instructions regarding connection and operation. Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle’s media system or the media device.
When connecting a USB device, make sure to route cables so that they do not obstruct the cubby box lid as it is closed. Some vehicles have a recess that allows cables to pass through, with the lid closed, preventing the crushing of the cables.
It is recommended not to use a hard disc drive via the USB link. The devices are not designed for in-vehicle use and may be damaged.
USB memory stick devices exceeding 3 inches (70mm) in length, must not be connected to the media hub. Using devices exceeding this length can result in damage to the media device or hub on the closure of the cubby box lid on the center console.
If an iPod is connected, disconnect it before leaving the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in the iPod battery discharging.
Avoid spilling or splashing liquids onto the touchscreen. The spilling or splashing of liquids could cause the touchscreen to malfunction or even lead to complete failure.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See PORTABLE MEDIA SAFETY.
Portable media devices can be connected to the media hub, located in the center console’s cubby box. See AUXILIARY POWER SOCKETS.
Compatible portable devices include:
External hard drives are not recommended for use. Doing so could reduce the life of the device.
It is recommended that the USB mass storage device does not exceed 128GB. USB mass storage devices exceeding the maximum recommendation could cause a malfunction of the infotainment system.
Depending on the memory size of the USB mass storage device, a time delay may be evident before the stored files can be accessed.
Album artwork displays if the iPod device is fully supported. Some Generation level devices cannot recognize or support the album artwork.
If connecting an iPod, mass storage, or Bluetooth® wireless technology device, use the touchscreen to operate and search the device.
The media system plays MP3, AIFF, M4A, FLAC, AAC, and ALAC files. Other formats are available.
If a software update has been activated on the connected portable media device, it is necessary to restart the media device. Restarting the device makes sure the update is recognized by the media system. To maximize playback quality, it is recommended that lossless compression is used for any media files on USB mass storage devices. Failing this, it is recommended that compressed files utilize a minimum bit rate of 192 kb/s. A higher bit rate is strongly recommended.
iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the US and other countries.
Some MP3 players have a file system that is not supported by the system. To use an MP3 player, set it to USB Removable Device or Mass Storage Device mode.
Information on pairing and connecting a Bluetooth wireless technology device can be found in the relevant section of the Owner’s Handbook. See PAIRING AND CONNECTING USING THE MEDIA PLAYER. Further information on Bluetooth wireless technology can be found in the relevant section of the Owner’s Handbook. See BLUETOOTH® INFORMATION. For a list of compatible Bluetooth wireless technology devices, please refer to the Land Rover website at: www.landroverusa.com. The Bluetooth devices listed have been tested for compatibility with Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. Performance varies, based on the device’s software version and battery condition. Devices are warranted by the device’s manufacturer, not the vehicle manufacturer.
Dependent on the device being connected, certain functions, e.g., Bluetooth pairing, may not be compatible.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See PORTABLE MEDIA SAFETY.
Portable media devices can be connected to the media hub, located in the center console’s cubby box. See AUXILIARY POWER SOCKETS.
Connect the media device to one of the available USB sockets.
Use the cable supplied with the media device to connect to the USB socket.
High-quality cables are recommended to be used with Apple devices as this enhances operation.
A USB hub cannot be used to connect more than one USB device to the audio unit.
Devices connected to the USB ports are charged, but devices that are fully discharged do not play. Higher-rated devices that require more than 7.5W to charge may not display an indicator when charging. The devices still charge without the indicator being displayed.
Apple devices should be updated to the latest iOS version, otherwise, full support cannot be guaranteed.
Voice command is only available for newer Apple devices, i.e., devices that are connected to the system via a lightning connector.
Options, such as Repeat and Shuffle, relate to the device currently playing. The options do not apply to any subsequent device. Previous Repeat and Shuffle selections are deactivated when a new queue is created.
The available sockets vary, according to vehicle specification.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See PORTABLE MEDIA SAFETY.
The system software does not support video media playback and broadcasts.
The screen shown is in PLAYER mode.
Portable media includes iPods, iPods, iPhones, USB mass storage, and Bluetooth® wireless technology devices.

Multiple devices can be simultaneously connected to the portable media interface. Use the touchscreen to switch between the connected devices. Select iPod, USB, or Bluetooth to switch between inputs.
USB and iPod devices only: When switching back to a previous device, from another newly connected device, playback resumes from the point at which it was left. See CONNECTING A MEDIA DEVICE.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See PORTABLE MEDIA SAFETY.
The process of pairing and connecting the media device with the vehicle, using the media device, varies depending on the type of media device.
If, when playing media through a Bluetooth wireless connected Apple device, the device is then also connected to a USB port, the Bluetooth wireless connection is disabled. To reconnect via Bluetooth wireless, the USB connection needs to be disconnected and the Apple device reconnected via the connectivity screen.
Apple devices containing a large quantity of media can take a considerable amount of time to synchronize. During this time, playback can only be accessed from the Apple device’s media player and not via voice commands.
After the Apple device has been synced with the media system, the device can then be controlled via the media system or operated by the voice system. If the Apple device’s track list is updated after the device was previously synced, the device needs to be re-synced to the media system. During this time, the Apple device’s voice commands become temporarily unavailable.
Further information on Bluetooth wireless technology can be found in the relevant section of the Owner’s Handbook. See BLUETOOTH® INFORMATION.
