navigation system and allows you to play audio files directly 
over the vehicle's sound system.The iPod interface is located in the vehicle glove box. It is compatible with 3rd 
generation or higher iPod
3) devices (made from about 2003 onwards), with 
the exception of the iPod Shuffle.
The iPod is controlled using the CD function  ⇒page 44.
•The navigation system orders (first numerically and then alphabetically) 
the playlists with the tracks stored in the iPod and then assigns them in the 
sequence CD 1 to CD 5. For easier playing of these playlists through the 
vehicle's sound system, we recommend you create five playlists (e.g. 1.... to 
5....) in your iPod.•If you select CD 6, all the tracks on the iPod will be played even if they are 
stored in different playlists.
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and genre, or the 
name of a playlist, does not appear on the navigation system display.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a vehicle's inte-
rior) can cause damage to the iPod and/or impair its performance.•Please do not leave your iPod in the vehicle in case of extreme tempera-
tures.

how to use your iPod.Choosing the adapter

connecting your iPod.iPods come in different sizes. Therefore, you will need to match the iPod inter-
face  ⇒fig. 31    to your iPod using one of the adapters supplied. You will 
need two adapters for certain iPod models (touch, 5G (video), classic).

Functions
The iPod is operated just like a CD changer using the controls 
on your vehicle's navigation system.The following functions are available:•Play all tracks stored on the iPod•Select and play up to five playlists (just like selecting CD 1 to 5 on a CD 
changer).•Change between playlists (just like “selecting a CD” on the CD changer)•Fast forward and rewind within a track•Change tracks within a playlist•Shuffle function (random selection of tracks)•SCAN function
For further information on operation, please refer to the “CD/MP3” chapter 
⇒ page 44.TipsHere are some tips and points to remember when using the iPod in the 
vehicle:•Track numbers appear with a maximum of two digits in the navigation 
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”. For 
this reason we do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each 
playlist.•If you reach the end of a playlist when selecting a track directly 
(forward/reverse), the count is resumed at track “1”.
•The track numbers are counted up sequentially in the navigation system 
display when you play tracks in shuffle mode (MIX).•We recommend you do not use the “Name CD” function, as all the playl-
ists will then be allocated the same name.USB Interface*Introduction
You can connect a memory stick or an MP3 player to the 
vehicle's on-board navigation system via the USB port.The USB port is located in your vehicle's glove box. It is compatible with all 
memory sticks and MP3 players approved by SEAT. Problems can occur if you 
use a memory stick or MP3 player not list ed in the table. Your memory device 
must be USB-certified as a minimum requirement.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the driver, you 
bear the responsibility for road safety. Do not remove the memory stick or 
MP3 player while driving. Failure to do so may cause an accident.•The volume of the sound system should be set at a level that enables 
you to hear acoustic signals from outside, such as police and fire brigade 
sirens. Failure to do so may cause an accident.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence inside a vehicle) 
may cause damage to the memory stick or MP3 player and/or impair its 
performance.
