The name of the artist, the album and the title of the played file can be displayed
if the information is available as a so-called ID3 tag. If no ID3 tag is available, only the folder name is displayed.
To ensure good quality sound, we recommend a minimum compressed bitrate of
160 kb/s for MP3 files. For audio files with variable bitrates, the indicated remain-
ing playback time does not correspond to the actual remaining playback time.
WMA files can only be played when not copyrighted by DRM. These kinds of WMAfiles are not supported by the device.
The more files, folders or playlists on one source, the longer it will take to read
the source. It is a good idea to create subfolders with files (e.g. by artist or album
names) in order to save time.

playback may be limited.
CAUTION
■ Only use one-part SD memory cards. If using an SD memory card with an adapt-
er (multipart SD memory cards), vehicle vibrations can cause the SD memory card can fall out of the adapter while driving, and individual card parts can remainstuck in the device.■
We recommend using SD memory cards of class 4 and higher. This guarantees
the fastest possible access to the audio files.
■
Always store the SD cards in suitable cases to protect them from dirt, dust and
other forms of damage.

First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Important
notes .
The Telephone menu is available when the following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function on the device is switched on.
ŠKODA permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way radio systems with
a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of
up to 10 watts.
Please ask at a specialist workshop about installing and operating mobile phones
and two-way radio systems that have a transmission power of more than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the func-
tionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› incorrectly installed external aerial;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most re-
cently connected mobile phone 1)
.
WARNING■ The national legal regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be
observed.■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle without
an external aerial or with an incorrectly installed external aerial, this can in-
crease the strength of the electromagnetic field inside the vehicle.
■
Two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts must not be installed on
airbag covers or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in any area
where it can become a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision — risk of injury.
■
The Bluetooth ®
function must be switched off by a specialist workshop be-
fore the vehicle is transported by air.
CAUTION
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restricted to
the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local conditions, e.g. obstacles be-
tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mobile
phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when estab-
lishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring data.
Note
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.1)
With some phones, it is necessary to set the connection to the device as "authorised" in order for the
automatic connection to be successful. If this is not set, the system will prompt you for a confirma-
tion each time you attempt to connect to the mobile phone.
