Can the Volkswagen Magotan play MP4 files?
3 Answers
The Volkswagen Magotan can play MP4 files. Locate the USB port: First, find all USB ports in the car. Select a USB port: Choose the most convenient USB port to use, preferably one that can both charge and play music. Insert the USB drive into the USB port: Then insert the prepared USB drive into the USB port. Button operation: Next, on the center console panel, press the operation button to switch to AUX according to the screen display. Display screen: Finally, pay attention to the display screen. You will notice that the icon displayed on the screen matches the position of AUX, and music will start playing at this point.
Whether the Volkswagen Magotan can play MP4 files depends on the specific model and year. Based on my years of experience with cars, newer Magotan models are equipped with the MIB entertainment system, which generally supports MP4 video format. However, the key is to play it via USB or SD card insertion, as the system automatically recognizes the files. For safety reasons, the system locks video playback while driving, allowing screen viewing only when parked. The files need to be H.264 encoded to play smoothly; otherwise, they may freeze. I recommend checking your car's manual or testing the files at a 4S store first to avoid wasted effort. Additionally, the car's Bluetooth can connect to a phone for playback, but for videos, it's best not to tamper with wiring to prevent system crashes.
I've used the media system in the Volkswagen Magotan, and it can actually play MP4 files! Recently, I drove my friend's new model and simply plugged a USB drive into the center console USB port. When parked, I could open and watch movies directly on the screen with clear and smooth playback. Systems may vary across different model years, with older versions being less capable—only playing music without video support. Safety-wise, the screen automatically cuts off when the car starts moving to prevent distractions and accidents. When playing around with it, make sure the file formats are compatible and avoid overly large files that could damage the circuits. Bluetooth screen mirroring also works, but you'll need to connect via the phone app. During regular maintenance, check for system updates to ensure support for new file types.
