iPod interface*General notes
The iPod interface can be used to connect an iPod to your in-
car entertainment system and allows you to play audio files 
directly over the car's sound system.The iPod interface is located in your vehicle's glove box. It is compatible with 
3rd generation or higher iPod
6) devices (made from about 2003 onwards), 
with the exception of the iPod Shuffle.
The iPod is controlled using the CD function  ⇒page 24.
•The sound 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. If you select an artist, a track, an album or a 
podcast before connecting the iPod, your selection will be kept until you 
change CD.
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and genre, or the 
name of a playlist, does not appear on the sound 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. 9    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  .
6)iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Computer Inc.

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.

(forward/reverse), the count is resumed at track “1”.•The track numbers are counted up sequentially in the sound system 
display when you play tracks in shuffle mode (MIX).USB port*Introduction
You can connect a memory stick or an MP3 player to the USB 
port for operating through the sound system.The USB port is located in your vehicle's glove box. The port is compatible 
with all memory sticks and MP3 players ( ⇒table on page 20). 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.

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.
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

22TipsHere are some tips and points to reme mber 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. Therefore, bear in mind that your sound 
system can display and play a maximum of six folders. The folders are allo-
cated 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.•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.
Aux-in connectionIntroduction
Portable players can be plugged into the Aux-in connection 
using 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.
Caution
•Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a car's inte-
rior) can cause damage to portable players and/or impair their performance. 
Never leave the portable player in the vehicle in case of extreme temperatures 
(either very high or very low)•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

information on its operation.Connecting a portable player– Switch on your vehicle's sound system.

while driving, as this could result in an accident.
Note
•We recommend setting the output level of the portable player to about

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