USB port. It is not possible to operate hard disks or USB hubs, etc. via the USB 
port.
•
Do not connect the MP3 player directly to the USB port. This could 
damage the device.
•
Never remove a memory device when the USB port is selected as source 
(CD). This could damage your memory device.

Music files are played just like on a CD changer using the 
controls on the sound system.To start the memory stick or MP3 player, press the   button several times 
until the display shows CD positions  CD 1 to CD 6  ⇒ page 24.
The following functions are available:•

NotesHere are some tips and points to reme mber when playing music files in the 
car:•
We recommend that, instead of storing music files in the main directory of 
the memory stick or MP3 player, you create separate folders e.g. for tracks 
belonging to the same genre or artist. Therefore, bear in mind that your sound 
system can display and play a maximum of six folders. The folders are allo-
cated first in numerical order and then in alphabetical order as CD 1 to CD 6. 
Folders that do not contain music file s are automatically ignored. You can 
create any number of subfolders.
•
If there are no folders on your memory device, the sound system will allo-
cate all the music files it finds to  CD 1.
•
Track numbers appear with a maximum of two digits in the sound system 
display. The first digit is suppressed if you select a track with a three-digit 
number, i.e. track 125 and track 25 are both displayed as track “25”. We 
therefore do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each folder.
•
Bear in mind that special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) are at the end 
of the alphabet.
The following music formats are supported:
•
mp3 (MPEG1 Layer3 from 32 to 320 kbps)
•
wma (from 8 to 192 kbps)
•
wav (11.025, 22.050 and 44.1 kHz sa mpling frequency with 16-bit 
encoding, stereo)
•
ogg vorbis (up to q10, 48 kHz, stereo)
DRM music formats are  not supported.Caution
Never store important data on the memory stick or MP3 player. SEAT is not 
liable in any manner for any data or files that may be damaged or lost.

able players with a 3.5 mm jack plug. It cannot be guaranteed that all port-
able players will function without any problems.

Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a car's inte-
rior) can cause damage to portable pl ayers and/or impair their performance. 
Never leave the portable player in the vehicle in case of extreme temperatures 
(either very high or very low)

Mobile phone interface
30
The 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 
3) must be bonded once to the mobile phone 
interface in the vehicle. This procedure involves various steps, 
depending on the mobile phone you are using. After switching the 
ignition on (and with the vehicle at a standstill), your mobile phone 
can be connected to the mobile phone interface.
– 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.
4)
– Wait until your mobile phone indicates that it has bonded.Up to four mobile phones
You can bond up to four mobile phones to the mobile phone interface. 
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 bonded  to the mobile phone interface and is 
ready to operate will be connected automatically when you switch on the igni-
tion. On some mobile phones, yo u 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 
interface 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 interface may have diffi-
culty detecting your mobile phone or communicating with it if you keep it in 
your jacket pocket.
3)Please make sure that the mobile phone supports the handsfree profile.
4)To prevent unauthorised use of your mobile phone, we recommend that you have the
Bluetooth PIN changed by a Technical Service or specialist garage.
