•The track numbers are counted up sequentially in the navigation system 
display when you play tracks in shuffle mode (MIX).•99 tracks are permanently shown on the navigation system display. This 
is even valid when the list contains a smaller number of tracks.•When selecting a track, we recommend you not to jump forward or back 
more than 49 tracks at a time. If you jump further than this, the iPod interface 
may not select the track you intended.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 listed in the table. Your memory device 
must be USB-certified as a minimum requirement.
Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a vehicle's inte-
rior) can cause damage to the memory stick or MP3 player and/or impair its 
performance.•Never leave your memory stick or MP3 player in the vehicle in case of 
extreme temperatures.Note
Please refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions for important infor-
mation on how to use your memory stick or MP3 player.
Connecting a memory stick / MP3 player
For problem-free operation, use only approved memory sticks 
and MP3 players.– Switch on your vehicle's sound system.
– Enable radio mode.
–Plug the  memory stick  into the USB port  ⇒fig. 33  (arrow),  or
– Connect the MP3 player to a standard USB extension cable and  plug the extension cable into the USB port  ⇒.
– Before you remove the memory device, switch the audio source  for the sound system back to radio.It may take several seconds for the USB port to detect the memory device.
The MP3 player is switched off automatically when you switch the sound 
system or the ignition off. The USB port stores the position of the last track

32you were playing. If you do not alter the contents of your memory device, the 
music will be continued at the point where you stopped playing.
MP3 players and USB sticks which are not explicitly approved must have 
“CERTIFIED USB
TM” or “CERTIFIED HIGH SPEED USB
TM” status.
Caution
•Do not connect a device other than a memory stick or MP3 player to the 
USB port. It is not possible to operate hard discs 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.Note
For up-to-date information on compatible MP3 players and USB sticks, please 
ask a SEAT dealer or visit www.seat.es.Functions
Music files are played just like on a CD changer using the 
controls on your car's sound system.To start the memory stick or MP3 player, select the “CD changer” function on 
the sound 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 more information on how to operate the system, please refer to the “CD” 
chapter in the operating manual for your sound system.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 sound system can 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 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.•We recommend you not to use the “Name CD” function on vehicles with 
the BNS 5.0 navigation system, as the folders may not be named correctly.

of the FM station list.
When all six positions for “favourite stations” are occupied and you listen to

the new station will be stored in the favourite stations list. The “favourite 
station” that you have not listened to for the longest will be pushed further 
down the list (e.g. positions seven to thirty).
You can delete the six favourite stations from the list with the option  Delete 
last stations  ⇒ page 46 under the Setup Radio  function. Thereafter, any  stations that you listen to for more than 45 seconds will be stored automati-
cally in one of the first six positions in the station list.
