Land Rover Defender: Portable media connections

Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before driving the vehicle.

Portable media devices can be connected to the media hub located in the front center console.

Compatible portable devices include:

• USB mass storage devices, e.g., a memory stick. Devices must use NTFS or FAT32.

  Note: External hard drives are not recommended for use. Doing so could reduce the life of the device.

  Note: 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.

  Note: Depending on the memory size of the USB mass storage device, a time delay may be evident before the stored files can be accessed.

If connecting an iPod, mass storage, or Bluetooth wireless technology device, use the touchscreen to operate and search the device.

Note: The media system plays MP3, WMA, AIFF, M4A, FLAC, AAC, and ALAC files. Other formats are available.

Note: 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.

Note: iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the US and other countries.

Note: 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.
