C5 2.0 HDI exclusive USB

Post by 10051550 »

Hi guys

Just in case anyone is interested I tested the USB connection in the centre console in my recently acquired 11 plate estate

You can not only connect a USB stick but also an ipad - coupled with spotify premium you can store 3000 songs offline and play the lot throughout the cars audio - tested works ok

Is that a fairly recent iPad (4th Gen on)- with a Lightning cable, rather than the older dock connector?

My guess is that you have emyway (RT6) in your C5, right?

And you have the USB conncetor where, in the central handrest or the passenger glove compartment? I never knew units like this had USB compatibility, maybe it is through the USB BOX, that's fitted somewhere else ...

That unit should be this:

That's what I'm wondering about ... I have a much newer unit, and it didn't have a USB connector per standard, only the even newer emyway had it as standard .. so, either it is custom installed from the previous owner (in case you bought he car 2nd hand, I don't know the situation), or if standard (which I highly doubt regarding the radio unit in question), that would be the first such case/combination AFAIK ... sorry for bothering you with questions, but this is really interesting in my view ... :) ... let's try something simpler, when the music files are being played from the USB, do you have the track titles listed, or only Track 1, Track 2 ... etc ... ?

My 2010 has the USB port too. Same radio. It streams over Bluetooth too.
USB I can scroll through artists or 3 other things but one is greyed out. Playlists, but I don't know if I have a playlist on my phone.
My car is an exclusive.

The reason why I'm so astonished by this is that the "same" car is in my dad's 2005 C5 ... same as in visually same ... obviously they've made some hardware changes and they ship it with usb connection ... like on that link on that link I've posted for bosch service ... same shell, different interior obviously ...

I think the early x7 sat nav was the same as the 2005 one. A harddisk based system with a sim card reader instead of Bluetooth.
