vehicle. Once the vehicle has been identified, the sound equipment is again
ready for use after a few seconds.
With the convenience code it is no longer necessary to manually unblock the
sound equipment.
However if the sound equipment is in another vehicle, it must be unblocked
by entering the code. To obtain the code, contact an authorised SEAT
dealer.Display on instrument panel Information referring to the radio is al so displayed on the instrument panel.
The function is activated by pressing and holding the lower button of the
rocker switch located at the end of the windscreen wiper lever and selecting
the function “Audio” in the menu.

42As many as 99 tracks can be shown, although all those contained in the
folder can be played
A title with three figures will not show the hundreds on the screen, only the
last two.
The music can be controlled via the radio keys. Choosing and playing songs,
fast forward and rewind and random playback are described in the radio
manual of your vehicle.
If there are folders in the root director y individual files will not be played, so
all data in the root directory should be in folders
Storing files in a memory stick or MP3 player
Store files in folders instead of using th e root directory of the memory stick or
player. In this way the songs can be stored in order (e.g. all the songs in a
certain style in the same folder).
The function keys to of the radio can only select the first 5 folders.
If there are more than 6 folders in the memory stick or MP3 player their
content cannot be played.
The folders can be subdivided into subfolders e.g. different albums by an
artist.
Example of a music folder structure:
Playback of music via USB connection
Connect the memory stick or MP3 player with the USB extension cable to the
USB port.
The screen will show the first 6 folders detected by the USB port, displayed as
CD 1 to CD 6 . Folders without music files will not be included.
If there are more than 6 music folders in the device, the exact number of
folders can be shown using the CD options. If the music files are not classified into
folders, but stored directly in the root
directory, the radio will read the files and play them in the same order. The
display then shows CD 1.
Music files and folders will be played in alphabetical order, so files beginning
with numbers will be selected first, before those with letters. A file with the
name 1XXXXXXXX will be played before another with the name AAAAAA.
Screen indications
When selecting a music file with the CD keys, it appears in the radio equip-
ment screen Track 1.
As many as 99 tracks can be shown.

•
The detection of the memory stick or MP3 player requires a few seconds
depending on the type of memory used.
•
The title of the song is not shown on the screen.
