Some RDS-compatible stations also transmit additional text known as radio 
text. Radio text can also be displayed on the screen.
Not all radio stations support RDS and radio text.
The individual radio station is responsible for the information displayed.
Changing stored radio station names
If an RDS-compatible radio station broadcasts additional information (radio 
text) while the station is being stored, the name of the radio station may 
subsequently be incorrectly displayed.
In this case, you can change the displayed station name manually.
Select the stored station and wait until the correct name appears on the 
screen. If you then briefly press the setting knob, the text currently displayed 
on the screen will be stored as the station name. Station tracking and RDS regional 
FM radio stations broadcast under the same name on several different 
regional frequencies. Some of these “
broadcasting stations” temporarily or 
always broadcast different content a ccording to region under the name 
name.
As the default setting, the automatic station tracking always switches auto-
matically to the radio station's frequency that offers the best reception, as the 
vehicle travels from one area to the next (setting:    ). 
This can, however, result in a region al radio programme being interrupted as 
the unit switches to another frequency with a better reception, on which the 
same radio station is broadcast from a different regional broadcasting 
station.
If you change the setting to   when travelling through the broadcasting 
range of a radio station, the radio-navi gation system will attempt for as long 
as possible to tune only to alternat ive frequencies for the selected regional 
broadcasting station.

24Traffic announcements will interrupt  the active audio mode. The radio will 
switch to the traffic news station for the duration of the traffic announcement. 
The media mode will be paused for the duration of the traffic announcement.
If no TP station can be received at any time, e.g. because radio reception is 
generally poor, then  No TP is displayed instead of  TP. Keep in mind that in 
covered garages, tunnels, areas with tall buildings or mountains, the radio 
signal may encounter interference, perhaps even being lost completely.
On the AM frequency band, traffic news  monitoring with the traffic news func-
tion is  not possible.  No TP is displayed permanently.
EON (Enhanced Other Network)
If the selected radio station does not  broadcast its own traffic news, but does 
support EON (Enhanced Other Network), the unit will temporarily switch over 
to play traffic announcements from a corresponding traffic news station as 
they are broadcast. This happens only when the traffic news function is 
switched on and the corresponding traffic news station can be received.
If this is the case, pressing the   button will  not make the unit switch to a 
traffic news station. The traffic news function remains active and  TP is 
displayed.
Search function and traffic news monitoring
If traffic news monitoring is switched on in  FM mode, you will only be offered 
traffic news stations when carrying out a station search with the  arrow 
buttons  ⇒ page 15 or using the scan function  ⇒page 17.
While the unit is in  FM mode and the traffic news function is switched on, if 
you select via the station buttons or manually tune to a radio station that does 
not support the traffic news function, the text  NO TP will flash on the display 
for three seconds.  NO TP is then displayed permanently. The unit will remain 
tuned to the selected station. Only when you switch to  media mode will the 
unit automatically retune in the background to the next receivable traffic 
news station and  TP will appear again on the display.
In  FM mode , the text  NO TP will flash for three seconds when the reception of 
the selected traffic news station is completely lost.  NO TP is then displayed  permanently. If you start the automatic station search with the arrow buttons 
⇒
page 15, the unit searches for the next traffic news station it can receive.
In  media mode  the unit will automatically retune in the background to the 
next receivable traffic news station when the selected traffic news station can 
no longer be received.
Incoming traffic announcement
A pop-up window opens  ⇒page 23, fig. 18  while a traffic announcement is 
being played.
If you wish to stop the traffic announcement, press the   function 
button in the pop-up window. The traffic station function remains active and 
plays the next traffic bulletin receiv ed. Press the   function button to 
fully deactivate the TP function.

MEDIA function selection buttonNotes and requirementsGeneral notes
A range of different audio file formats can be played from 
various data media.The internal CD drive can be used to play CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW with the 
format CD-DA (Digital Audio) and the SD  card slot supports various different 
SD memory cards  ⇒page 25.
MP3 files can also be played  ⇒page 26.
MP3 files on data media are often organised into folders and in playlists to 
determine a certain playing order  ⇒page 40, “Playing order of files and 
folders”.

26Data medium cannot be read
If the unit is unable to read data on the data medium, a pop-up window 
asking you to check the data medium appears. Otherwise, a message may 
inform you directly that the file formats on the data medium cannot be read.
Confirm the message by pressing  .
If a CD cannot be read, immediately after it is inserted it will be ejected again 
and then automatically drawn in again to start another attempt to read it. If 
the CD still cannot be read after the  third attempt, a message inform the user 
will appear on the screen. When you confirm the message, the CD will be 
ejected.
If a CD is not removed from the eject position within 10 seconds, it is retracted 
again to prevent damage and must then be ejected manually.
SD memory cards must always be removed manually.
Caution
•
Inserting a new CD while an inserted CD is being ejected can destroy the 
CD drive in the unit. You must wait until the CD is ejected before trying to 
insert a new CD.
•
Refer to other notes on handling data media  ⇒page 45.
•
While inserting a memory card, make sure it is positioned correctly to 
prevent damage to the unit  ⇒page 30.
•
If you insert a number of CDs and receive the message “ CD drive error” 
every time, there is probably a mechanical fault. In this case, you should 
contact a SEAT dealership.
•
You will be unable to insert a CD if the temperature inside the unit is too 
high. The equipment returns to the last audio source activated.
Note
•
Bought audio CDs (CD-DA) that meet the necessary specifications gener-
ally have the CD Digital Audio logo on them. CDs that have copy protection do 
not have this logo and often cannot be played.
•
It may not be possible to play CDs and CD-RWs that you have burned your-
self, or playback may be restricted.
•
Audio DVDs cannot be played.
•
There can be significant quality differences between individual memory 
cards, due to the large number of different makes available. It is therefore not 
possible to guarantee that the unit will be able to read all manufacturers' 
memory cards of the supported types.
File formatsOnly files with the correct file  extension (“.mp3”) can be played.
MP3 file requirements•
Complex file structures on the data medium (a large number of folders 
and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) may lead to delays in the reading of 
audio files.
•
The folder structure on a data medium should not have more than eight 
folder levels.
•
An MP3 CD should not have more than 50 folders and 500 files.
•
A memory card should have no more than 5,000 folders and 15,000 files 
and no more than 6,000 files in a folder.
•
The name of the track, artist or album can be displayed while an MP3 file 
is played provided this information is stored on the data medium as an ID3 
tag. If there is no ID3 tag, only the file name, folder name or storage location 
will be shown.

•
Playlists can only be played if they conform to the following formats: PLS, 
M3U or WPL.
•
A playlist only determines a certain playing order. There are no MP3 files 
stored in a playlist.
•
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.
•
The name of a file and its path must  together consist of no more than 256 
characters.
Bit rate
•
The unit supports MP3 files with bi t rates of between 8 and 320 kbps and 
MP3 files with variable bit rates.
•
The predicted overall track playing time cannot be displayed for files with 
variable bit rate (VBR).Note
•
When MP3 files are played, you may find that individual pieces of music 
are not played back correctly. This may be due to the configuration of the CD 
or the devices, programmes or data  media used to record the files.
•
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read an MP3 CD than 
an audio CD. The time taken to read an MP3 CD maybe considerably length-
ened if it has too many files or folder levels.
