MEDIA-IN multi-media interface (MDI)Description
The MEDIA-IN multi-media interface provides users with a
USB connector and an AUX connector. Depending on the
vehicle, this interface is located in the central console or
underneath the central armrest between the front seats.
Depending on the vehicle's unit, the followin g is possible from the radio-navi-
gation unit through the MEDIA-IN interface:•Play and operate audio files from a mass storage medium or MP3 player
with USB connection. The MEDIA-IN multi-media interface supplies the usual
USB voltage of 5 volts.•Play and operate audio files from an iPod. In this case, the iPod must be
connected using the cable or special SEAT adapter support. In the case of the
León, the "AUX2 Input" option must be enabled in the Media Settings menu
(MEDIA →SETUP) for audio playback of an iPod.•Play audio files from an external medium connected to the AUX socket.
External audio sources connected to the AUX socket of the MEDIA-IN interface
can be played through the radio-navigation system but cannot be operated.
Consult the specific manufacturer's instruction manual for operating the
external audio source. The external audio source will continue to play until it
is switched off, despite another source starting to play in the radio-navigation
system. In the case of the León, the "AUX2 Input" option must be selected in
the Media Settings menu (MEDIA →SETUP) for audio playback of a device
connected to the AUX socket.

42•If the vehicle is equipped with a Rear Seat Entertainment system, audio
from a portable multi-media device connected to the AUX RSE socket can be
played through the radio-navigation system. To play audio from a device
connected to this socket, enable the "AUX2 Input" option in the Media
Settings menu (MEDIA →SETUP) . Make sure no other multi-media device or
audio cable is connected to the MEDIA-IN interface, as these take playback
priority over the AUX2 input. Refer to the Rear Seat Entertainment system
manual for further information.WARNING
The risk of injury during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an accident is
increased if the glove compartment cover or armrest is open.•Always keep the glove compartment and armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion.WARNING
Loose objects inside the vehicle may obstruct the driver and lead to serious
injuries.•The external audio data medium must never be placed on the instru-
ment panel. A sudden driving manoeuvre could cause the device to be flung
through the vehicle interior and injure occupants.•The external audio source must never be placed close to an airbag. If an
airbag is triggered, the device could be flung towards the compartment and
injure the vehicle passengers.•Occupants must not have the data medium in their hands or placed on
their legs while the vehicle is in motion. A sudden driving manoeuvre could
cause the device to be flung through the vehicle interior and injure occu-
pants.•The wires connecting the external data medium must be arranged so
they do not obstruct you when driving.
Note
•Only audio files readable through the MEDIA-IN socket will be displayed
and played. Where a medium connected contains damaged files or files in
unreadable formats, these will not be displayed.•USB connection takes priority over the MEDIA-IN interface AUX socket.
Either of these, or an iPod adapter where applicable, takes priority over the
AUX RSE socket. Therefore, to play audio from a medium connected to the
AUX RSE socket, make sure there is no device or cable connected to the
MEDIA-IN interface.•You can disconnect the connection with the external medium whenever
required without losing data, independent to the indications of the external
data media.External data media requirements •The unit only supports external data media and USB mass storage devices
that comply with the USB 2.0 specifications.•External data media must use a FAT file system, either FAT16 (< 2 GB) or
FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table)•In the case of MTP players (Media Transfer Protocol), which have the
“PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista” logo, factors such as the battery status
and the quantity of data may affect the way these devices respond to commu-
nication via the MEDIA-IN multi-media interface. It may take several minutes
before the MTP player is ready to play.•When playing files from large hard drive memories with many files and
complex file structures (a large number of folders and subfolders, non-play-
able files, etc.), there may be delays in the reading of audio files. The
connected device may also affect the unit's response time.•The folder structure on the external data medium should not have more
than eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1000 items.

•USB extension cables and USB hubs may not be used to connect up an
external data medium.•If a data medium is divided into several partitions, only the first partition
with compatible audio files will be used.•The unit does not support memory card adapters and these may lead to
malfunctions.•Malfunctions may occur if the software on an external MP3 player has
been updated with a manufacturer's firmware guarantee.•It may be necessary to switch on the eternal data medium or select the
appropriate data mode.•Please refer to the res pective manufacturer's man ual for instructions on
the operation of the external data medium.Supported file formats The operation and performance of the playable file formats on the unit are the
same as for MP3 compressed audio files and are therefore not described
separately here.•The radio-navigation system can play and control audio files of the
formats MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC from an external data medium.•The unit supports playlists in the formats PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL.•The unit cannot play WMA audio files (Windows Media Audio) that are
copyright protected by the DRM process (Digital Rights Management).•In general, no copyright protected files can be played (e.g. M4P).•It is not possible to play files in 3GP format or “WMA lossless” files.
Note that there are no MP3 files stored in a playlist. A playlist only determines
a certain playing order. If a playlist cannot be played, check that the “relative
paths” are correct, i.e. that the MP3 files on the data medium are actually
stored at the locations referenced by the playlist.

are the same as for a media source with MP3 files inserted into the radio-navi-
gation system.
Direct operation of the connected iPod is disabled while it is connected to the
multi-media interface.
When an iPod is connected, it is possible to adjust the input volume of the
multi-media interface.
Pressing the function selection button opens the Media settings
menu. There you can adjust the input volume by pressing the
function button, similar to the adjustment of the  page 33,
“Adjusting the output volume”.
Error messages and anomalies
The following error message may appear on the screen after an external data
medium is connected to the unit.
If the message “ Device is not supported ” appears, then the external data
medium cannot be operated with the radio-navigation system or the adapter
cable used is not suitable. Check whether you are using the correct adapter
cable or, if possible, update the software of the external data medium and the
MEDIA-IN multi-media interface.
