Functions
Music files are played just like on a CD changer using the 
controls on your vehicle navigation system.To start the memory stick or MP3 player, select the “CD changer” function on 
the navigation system.
The following functions are available:•Play all tracks stored on the memory device (if no folders are stored on the 
memory device)•Select and play up to six main folders with music files (just like selecting 
CD 1 to 6 on a CD changer)•Change between main folders with music files (just like changing the CD 
on a CD changer)•Change tracks within a main folder•Fast forward and rewind within a track•SCAN function•Play tracks in random or shuffle mode
For further information on operation, please refer to the “CD/MP3” chapter 
⇒ page 44.TipsHere are some tips and points to remember 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. Your navigation system can only 
display and play a maximum of six folders, however. The folders are allocated  first in numerical order and then in alphabetical order as CD 1 to CD 6. Folders 
that do not contain music files are automatically ignored. You can create any 
number of subfolders.
•If there are no folders on your memory device, the navigation system will 
allocate all the music files it finds to  CD 1.•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”. We 
therefore do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each folder.•We recommend you do not use the “Name CD” function, as the folders 
may not be named correctly.•Bear in mind that special characters (diaeresis, 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 sampling 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 will function without any problems.

interior) may cause damage to portable players and/or impair their perform-
ance. Please do not leave your portable player in the vehicle in case of 
extreme temperatures.•Never store important data on portable players. SEAT is not liable in any 
manner for any data or files that may be damaged or lost.Note

able player.•Using a portable player with the engine switched off will drain the
