Steps to play music from USB drive in Mercedes-Benz C200: 1. Confirm the file format of the USB drive. The car does not support NTFS file system for USB drives; format it as FAT or FAT32. 2. Copy the songs (MP3 format) to the USB drive. 3. Insert the USB drive into the car's USB port. 4. Press the MEDIA button. If the screen displays 'AUxIN', press the MEDIA button again. 5. Start playback. The Mercedes-Benz C200 can take several measures based on the type and severity of an accident: automatically shutting off the engine, cutting off fuel supply, activating hazard warning lights and emergency interior lighting, lowering side windows if necessary, and automatically unlocking the doors.
Listening to music via USB in the Mercedes-Benz C200 is very convenient. First, prepare a USB drive formatted as FAT32 with MP3 or WMA music files. Avoid using a high-capacity USB drive to prevent system lag. The USB port location varies by model year, typically found in the center armrest or dashboard storage compartment—just plug it in directly. While driving, after starting the vehicle, the infotainment screen will automatically detect the USB drive. Press the "Media" button, select the "USB" option, and use the knob or touchscreen to browse the file list and choose songs to play. If there's no response, try restarting the system or checking if the USB drive is loose. Safety tip: Set up your playlist before driving—avoid operating the screen while moving to prevent distractions. The sound quality is usually excellent, much more stable than Bluetooth. Regularly update your USB music library to keep things fresh and enjoy your time on the road.
I often use a USB drive to listen to music in my Mercedes-Benz C200, and the operation is very simple. Choose a compatible format like FAT32 for the USB drive, store MP3 or other audio files properly, and avoid placing too many songs in a single folder. The USB port is located in the front row. After inserting the USB drive, press the 'Source' button in the multimedia control area to switch to USB mode. Once the song list appears on the screen, scroll to select your track. During playback, you can adjust the volume or skip tracks using the steering wheel buttons, which is very convenient. If the USB drive isn’t recognized, it might be due to file corruption—try reformatting or using a different USB drive. Personally, I find using a USB drive for music both cost-effective and free from data charges, with clear sound quality. To protect the port, avoid frequent plugging and unplugging, and stay focused on driving.
