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.

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

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

– Insert the navigation CD and wait for the unit to load the data.
– Insert a suitable memory card as described ⇒page 30.
– Press the function selection button and in the Navigation
main menu press the function selection button.
– Turn the setting knob ⇒page 3, fig. 1 until the
function button is marked and press the
setting knob to open the menu ⇒page 49, fig. 36 .
– Start the copying process by pressing the function buttons ⇒page 49, fig. 37 and . It takes roughly an
hour to copy one navigation CD to a memory card. The unit
should remain switched on during this time.
– The memory card must not be removed during the copying
process ⇒.
Copying more navigation CDs onto a memory card
– Insert a navigation CD for a different navigation area as described. If the inserted memory card already contains naviga-
tion data, a selection window will open.
– Press to copy the navigation data, adding them to the data already on the memory card.
– If you only intend to use the data on the navigation CD over a short period, press to start navigation from the CD
⇒page 50, “Available navigation area”.The unit can read data many times faster from a memory card than from a CD.
For this reason, any navigation data used regularly should be copied onto a
memory card ⇒page 50, “Available navigation area”. Make sure you store all navigation CDs safely in the vehicle, so that you have
a replacement medium in case the data on the memory card is “lost”. You can
then copy the navigation data on the navigation CDs onto another memory
card.
Copying process
Copying the navigation data onto the memory card can take up to an hour.
The navigation functions are
not available during the copying process.
The memory card must not be removed during the copying process ⇒.
A status message with a progress bar appears when the function selection
buttons or are pressed. In all other menus, a memory card symbol
in the top-left corner of the screen indicates the copying process.
It is also not possible to play audi o files from the memory card during the
copying process.
Available navigation area
The extent to which small villages, streets and house numbers are contained
on a navigation CD depends on the country the CD is supplied for.
If you leave the available navigation area, you will need another navigation
CD with the navigation data for the adjacent area.
You can copy the data from several navigation CDs onto one memory card.
The navigation data on the memory card will then be automatically “linked”
together by the navigation system. The data is “linked” on the basis of the
motorway network stored on the navigation CD.
We therefore recommend that you use a me mory card with sufficient capacity
from the start. The navigation data for western Europe requires roughly 4 GB
of memory ⇒page 25, “Memory card requirements”.
A memory card may also contain audio files.
The navigation data must be completely copied to the memory card, other-
wise it is not possible to navigate from the card. If there is not sufficient free
memory on the memory card, you may ha ve to remove some audio files from

note that it is not possible to link the navigation areas on the CD and the
memory card.

as described.
Compatibility of navigation CDs and memory cards
There are different generations of units in use in SEAT vehicles. The data
media for the different units are not interchangeable. You will need the navi-
gation CDs that are valid for your navigation system. Your SEAT dealership will
be pleased to help you find the right version.
For reasons of copyright, a radio-navigation system can only read navigation
data from a memory card if the data were copied onto the memory card by the
same unit.
Using an illegally recorded data medium will nearly always cause problems in
the navigation system. Age of the navigation data
The road layout is subject to constant modifications (for example, new
streets, changes to the names of the streets and the building number). Navi-
gation CDs contain a large amount of da
ta which, after some time, will unfor-
tunately no longer be up to date. This may cause problems during route guid-
ance.
For this reason, you should regularly update the navigation data you are
using. Your SEAT dealership has a selection of up-to-date navigation CDs.
WARNING
Refer to the notes on using CD players ⇒page 45.
Caution
•
Never remove a memory card while data is being copied to it. If you wish
to remove the memory card, you must fi rst cancel the copying process. To do
so, press the function selection button and then press in the
progress window. Wait until the process has finished. Removing the memory
card too early may destroy it.
•
Refer to other notes on handling data media ⇒page 45.
•
Please note that if the navigation CD or memory card is dirty or damaged,
it may be impossible to completely copy all required navigation data. This can
later seriously impair the speed and functions of the navigation system.
•
Please not that a dirty or damaged navigation CD or memory card can seri-
ously impair the speed and functions of the navigation system.Note
A radio-navigation unit can only read na vigation data from a memory card if
the data were copied onto the memory card by the same unit.
