Introduction
WARNING
Opening the housing on a CD player can lead to injuries from invisible la-
ser radiation.
● CD players should only be repaired by a qualified workshop.
CAUTION
The memory card slot's locking mechanism can be damaged by incorrect in-
sertion of a memory card or by inserting a non-compatible memory card!
● When inserting a card, make sure it is correctly positioned ⇒ page 31.
● Applying force may destroy the memory card slot's locking mechanism.
● Only use suitable memory cards ⇒ page 27.
CAUTION
● When inserting and removing a CD, always hold it flat and at a right an-
gle to the front of the unit. Inserting or removing them at an angle to the
drive can lead to scratching ⇒ page 30.
● Inserting a second CD while a CD is already inserted or being ejected
may damage the CD player. Always wait until the CD has been ejected.
CAUTION
Any foreign objects attached to a data medium and non-round data media
can damage the CD player.
● Only clean standard 12 cm CDs should be used.
– Do not stick stickers or other items to the CDs. Stickers may peel off
and damage the drive.
– Do not insert 8 cm single CDs or non-round CDs (shaped CDs).
– Do not insert DVD Plus discs, dual discs or flip discs, as these are
thicker than normal CDs. Versions available

Media mode Introduction
“Media sources” are audio sources containing audio files on various differ-
ent data media (e.g. CD, memory card, external MP3 player). These audio
files can be played by the radio and navigation system from its correspond-
ing drives or audio input sockets (internal CD player, memory card slot, ME-
DIA-IN interface, AUX-IN, etc.).
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio
files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio
data CD”.

Fig. 30 When the AUX2
input is activated, the
AUX2 audio source is dis-
played on the Media se-
lector and is always
shown as active.
If the vehicle does not have a MEDIA-IN or MDI multimedia interface, an ad-
ditional audio source called AUX2 is made available to the user. This source
can be used to play audio from an external player connected to a Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) device through the vehicle sound system 1)
.
The audio from the external player connected to the RSE is played through
the vehicle loudspeakers but cannot be controlled with the radio and navi-
gation system controls.
An external audio source connected to the socket is indicated by AUX2 on
the screen.

● Press the AUX2 ⇒ Fig. 30 function button to start playback of the exter-
nal audio source connected to the RSE over the vehicle speakers.
The output volume of the connected external audio source should be adjus-
ted to the volume of the other audio sources ⇒ page 39 ( AUX2 volume in
the Media settings menu ⇒ Fig. 29).
Things to note about the AUX2 additional external audio source
● If another audio source (CD, SD, etc.) is selected during playback, the
external player connected to the RSE continues playing.
● When playback on the external audio source has finished or if the exter-
nal player is disconnected from the AUX-RSE connector, the radio and navi-
gation system remains in the AUX2 menu.
● The AUX2 symbol remains visible and on (highlighted in red), and there-
fore accessible, as long as the “ Activate AUX2 input” check box in the ( Me-
dia setup menu ) is ticked. The option should be deactivated when playback
has finished. Recommendations for use
●
If your vehicle is not fitted with an RSE system or a MEDIA-IN or MDI mul-
timedia interface, we recommend that the Activate AUX2 input is always left
unticked. Otherwise, the AUX2 source (if your vehicle does not have MDI) or
the “MDI” source may be shown in the Media selection menu as “active”
(accessible), even if there is no audio source connected to them.
● If your vehicle is fitted with a MEDIA-IN or MDI multimedia interface, the
AUX2 additional external source is not available. Use the check box Activate
AUX2 input as described in the section MEDIA-IN or MDI multimedia inter-
face.

MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
Introduction
For the ALHAMBRA model, depending on the version, the MEDIA-IN multi-
media interface is in the passenger storage compartment or the centre arm-
rest between the two front seats.
For the ALTEA range and TOLEDO, the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface offers a
USB connector and AUX connector. This is located in the centre console in
the TOLEDO, and under the front armrest in the ALTEA range.
The supported file formats listed below are collectively referred to in this
manual as “audio files”.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multime-
dia interface can be played and controlled via the radio-navigation system.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means multimedia de-
vices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players, iPods ®
and
USB memories. External data media are displayed as MDI (Media Device In-
terface).
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of 5
volts.

operation of all functions described here.
Note
External audio sources connected to the AUX socket of the MEDIA-IN inter-
face can be played through the radio and navigation system, but cannot be
controlled from there. To control the external audio source, please see the
manufacturer's instructions. As long as the external audio source is not
switched off, it will continue operating even if another source starts to play
in the radio and navigation system.
Note
The MDI symbol remains visible and on (highlighted in red), and therefore
accessible, as long as the “Activate AUX2 input” check box (Media setup
menu) is ticked. The option should be deactivated when playback has fin-
ished.
Note
The USB connection takes precedence over the MEDIA-IN interface AUX in-
put. Both of these, or an iPod adapter where applicable, take precedence
over the additional input. Therefore, to play audio from a device connected
to the AUX RSE input, first make sure that there are no devices or cables
connected to the MEDIA-IN interface.
Note
For further information, please see the Rear Seat Entertainment system
handbook.
Note
If another audio source (CD, SD, etc.) is selected during playback, the exter-
nal player connected to the RSE continues playing.
