Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Observe the manu-
facturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
anomalies during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion can be found on the internet regarding
the best ways to create audio files and data
media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Depending on the size, its condition due to
use (copy and delete processes), the folder
structure and file type, the read time of the
data media used can vary considerably.

Booklet Instruction manual.
The infotainment system enables you to play
and manage audio files and some video files
from an external data medium connected to
the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface.
Where this manual refers to external data me-
dia, this means USB mass storage devices
containing supported audio files, such as
MP3 players, iPods ®
and USB sticks.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies
the usual USB voltage of 5 volts. Adapter for connecting a data medium
The external data media are connected to the
MEDIA-IN multimedia interface using an
adaptor.
Depending on the market and features, the
adaptor is included in the supply. Other
adaptors can be purchased from your SEAT
Dealership.
Do not use memory card adaptors, USB ex-
tension cords or USB hubs!

Notes and restrictions
The infotainment system enables you to view,
play and manage compatible audio files
through the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface.
In the case of MTP players and depending on
the battery charge and the quantity of data, it
may take a few minutes for them to be ready
for use.
External hard discs with a capacity greater
than 32 GB must, in certain circumstances,
be reformatted to the FAT32 file system. On
the Internet, for example, you will find pro-
grams and instructions for this.
If the data carrier has several partitions, only
the first partition will be recognised (except
with USB, in which the first 2 will be visible).
Take into account all other instructions and
limitations regarding requirements for media
sources.
Connecting and disconnecting an external
data medium
● Connect a suitable adaptor to the MEDIA-IN
multimedia interface.
● Connect the external data medium to the
MEDIA-IN multimedia interface via the adapt-
er.
● If necessary, switch on the external data
medium or select the appropriate data mode.
Regardless of any indications to the contrary
that there may be on the matter, the external data medium can be disconnected from the
MEDIA-IN multimedia interface at any time
without losing the data.
When disconnecting an iPod
®
or iPhone ®
from the adaptor, take care to press the two
unlocking tabs on the narrow sides of the
iPod ®
connector simultaneously.

tooth audio sources available, it is not possi-
ble to guarantee fault-free operation of all
functions described here. Note
● Deactivate the service and warning sounds
of a connected Bluetooth audio source (for
example, the key tones of the mobile phone)
to avoid interference noise and anomalies in
the operation.
● Depending on the external player connec-
ted, the response time of the system can
vary.
