28Instructions relating to memory cardsThe system is compatible with SD and MMC memory cards.The two MP3 memory card drives have been tested for use with many prod-
ucts currently available on the market. However, there may be some memory
cards which are not supported.
Store the memory cards in a suitable case to protect them from dirt and dust
and to avoid scratches or other kind of damage.
Caution
Only use one-piece SD/MMC memory cards. If you use SD/MMC adapter
cards (more than one piece), the memory card can detach from the adapter
(e.g. caused by jolting, etc). Parts could then get stuck in the drive.
Note
The quality of the MP3 function may vary for certain types of memory card.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 your vehicle's glove box. It is compatible with
3rd generation or higher iPod
2) devices (made from about 2003 onwards),
with the exception of the iPod Shuffle. The iPod is controlled using the CD function
⇒page 48.
•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.2)iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Computer Inc.

•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.

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

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.

Adjusting sound settings
60DSP ("Digital Signal Processing")GALA are the German initials for the speed-dependent
volume adjustment function.– Press the control button for the Sound function from an audio or
SETUP menu or
– Select DSP ⇒ page 59, fig. 74 .
– Select GALA ⇒ fig. 76.
– Select on of the five levels ⇒ fig. 76 or
– Select off . The function will be switched off.The GALA function boosts the volume level accordingly as the vehicle's speed
increases to drown out background noise.
If you select level 1, the volume will only be boosted slightly as speed
increases. If you select level 5, the volume will be boosted more strongly as
speed increases.
Dynamic noise compensation*Dynamic noise compensation automatically adjusts the music volume so that
the music is not drowned out by background noise. The volume will seem to
maintain its normal decibel strength.
The dynamic noise compensation function responds to both continuous and
transient background noise.
How does the dynamic noise compensation work?
A microphone in the interior registers the music volume and the volume of
background noise. The background noise is then digitally analysed and proc-
essed by the system. At the same time, the sound system boosts the play-
back volume accordingly in the affected frequency range so that the music
can still be heard clearly.
Note
Any malfunction of the AudioPilot system is indicated by a triple warning
gong which sounds when the navigation system is switched on. If this should
happen, please have the AudioPilot system checked by a qualified
workshop.
