Hi all,

I have just bought and installed a F500bt (latest original firmware 3.0.x, EU version) in a new VW Passat (will post more about the install.)

Do have lots of questions where I cannot find the answers to, but will start with an easy one (?)

When I insert an SD card it will immediately start playing the first song (how does it determine the first one..on date?)

Also after power on and/or docking in on the mount it starts playing (I press pause when I want to stop the music) .

Can this be avoided, how do i stop this automatic start?

Also there is a pause button, but is there a stop button?

Thanks!

Hmm not many F500 users? Or a stupid question?

To answer my own question: after playing around I found that pressing the SD card icon on the upper left hand corner of the screen of the mp3 player brings you back to the media screen. Pressing the OFF button there means that the mp3 player shuts down. After a power on and off the mp3 will not autostart again (despite being paused before).

I have a F500BT as well, but I usually want to keep playing mp3 from sd card. Even if, I'm listening radio (am/fm). It doesn't bother me since it's connected to aux-in on factory bose stereo.
