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
Please refer to the operating instructions of your portable player for important 
information on its operation.Connecting a portable player– Switch on your vehicle's sound system.
–Enable radio mode.

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

port vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking 
propane or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or large quantities of dust 
particles (e.g. from flour or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning 
also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your 
engine.Note
•In order to use the mobile phone functions, your mobile phone must be 
compatible with the mobile phone adapter in the vehicle and the functions 
must be supported by your service provider.•The range of the handset may be affected in isolated areas (such as a
