30The external aerial directs the electromagnetic fields to the exterior, 
which reduces the field strength in the vehicle interior.
− If retrofitting an external aerial, please ensure that it is installed 
correctly.Bluetooth®
Bluetooth technology enables a wireless connection between 
a mobile phone and the on-board phone system.The mobile phone 
8) must be linked once to the mobile phone 
adapter in the vehicle. This procedure involves various steps, 
depending on the mobile phone yo u are using. After switching the 
ignition on (and with the vehicle at a standstill), your mobile phone 
can be connected to the mobile phone adapter.
– Make sure that no other mobile phone is connected to the mobile  phone interface via Bluetooth.
– Switch the ignition on.
– Select the appropriate menu option on your mobile phone to  search for Bluetooth compatible devices (i.e. the mobile phone 
interface).
– Connect the mobile phone to the mobile phone interface. Your  mobile phone interface will use the name “SEAT XXXX” when it 
connects with the mobile phone.
– Enter the PIN for handsfree mode (“1234”) on the mobile phone  interface within 30 seconds.
9)
– Wait until your mobile phone indicates that it has bonded.Up to four mobile phones
You can link up to four mobile phones to the mobile phone adapter. However, 
it is only possible to activate one connection at a time. If you bond a fifth 
mobile phone to the mobile phone interface, the system will delete the device 
which has not been used for the longest time in conjunction with the mobile 
phone interface.
Connecting and disconnecting
A mobile phone which has been linked to the mobile phone adapter and is 
ready to operate will be connected automatically when you switch the ignition 
on. On some mobile phones, you have to confirm the connection.
The Bluetooth connection is terminated when the key is removed from the 
ignition lock. With most mobile phones the Bluetooth connection will also be 
terminated when you insert the mobile phone in the adapter.
Autonomy
The Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the mobile phone 
adapter is restricted to the interior of the vehicle. The connection can be 
susceptible to interference caused by other electronic devices or obstacles 
between the devices. For example, the mobile phone adapter may have diffi-
culty detecting your mobile phone or communicating with it if you keep it in 
your jacket pocket.
