The playing time displayed may differ from the actual time in MP3 files with a
variable bit rate. As a rule, the MP3 music files are copyright-protected under the applicable
international and national laws. In some countries the making of copies is not
permitted, not even for personal use, without prior authorisation by the
rightful owners. These restrictions do not apply if you are the rightful owner
of these rights (e.g. in the case of your own compositions or recordings) or if
the rightful owner has given you permission to use these rights.
Note
•You can obtain navigation CDs from your dealer. Your dealer will also be
able to provide information on updates which are available for the CDs.•Please observe the notes for handling CDs ⇒page 25.•In view of the variety of CD-Rs and CD-RWs and the difference in memory

iPod interface*General notes
The iPod interface can be used to connect an iPod to your
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.
Note
Please refer to the iPod operating instructions for important information on
how to use your iPod.Choosing the adapter
The iPod interface is supplied with a choice of adapters for
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).
The iPod interface is supplied with the following adapters:
1. Narrow adapters of different heights for inserting into the central slot
below the bay .

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.

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.
