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.

A portable player can be plugged into the AUX-IN connection
via a 3.5 mm jack plug.The Aux-in socket is located in the centre console. It is compatible with port-
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 the vehicle
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

system in your vehicle, you should first use the volume adjuster of the port-
able player.•Using a portable player with the engine switched off will drain the
battery.
