– Then select , as described ⇒page 34. The external audio
source will now be played over the vehicle speakers ⇒page 32,
fig. 23 .
– You can adjust the output volume with the volume control ⇒page 3, fig. 1 . See also ⇒page 33, “Adjusting the output
volume”.
It is only possible to play the sound output of an external audio source
connected to the AUX-IN socket via the radio-navigation system and the
vehicle speakers. The external audio source cannot be controlled via the
radio-navigation system. Consult the specific manufacturer's instruction
manual for operating the external audio source.
You can select another audio source on the radio-navigation system at any
time. The external audio source will continue to play until it is switched off.
Please not that the unit does not automatically switch back to the previously
played media source when the external audio source stops. The radio-naviga-
tion system will remain in the AUX menu ⇒page 32, fig. 23 and another
audio source must be selected manually.
When the plug is disconnected from the AUX-IN socket, the previously
selected media source will be automatically started.
You require a 3.5 mm jack plug for the AUX-IN socket. If the external audio
source does not have this plug, an adapter must be used.
Adjusting the output volume
You can adjust the output volume at which the external audio source is played
using the volume control on the radio-navigation system ⇒page 3, fig. 1
.
You can also adjust the input volume on the AUX-IN socket between three
levels. In media mode, press the button to open the Media settings
menu ⇒page 32, fig. 24 . Then press the and select the

external audio source's output volume
10). If this is not sufficient or the output
volume of the external audio source cannot be adjusted (e.g. with a line-out
connection), go to the Media settings menu and adjust the to
or ).
If an external audio source is played too loudly or its sound is distorted, first
lower the external audio source's output vo lume. If that is not sufficient or not
possible, you must reduce the input volume ( or
).
WARNING
Please observe the safety warnings on the use of external audio sources
⇒ page 34.
Caution
Before adjusting the input volume level, it is important to turn down the
volume on the radio-navigation system to prevent damage to the vehicle
speakers that may be caused by excessively loud or distorted playback.

•
USB extension cables and USB hubs may not be used to connect up an
external data medium.
•
If a data medium is divided into several partitions, only the first partition
with compatible audio files will be used.
•
The unit does not support memory card adapters and these may lead to
malfunctions.
•
Malfunctions may occur if the software on an external MP3 player has
been updated with a manufacturer's firmware guarantee.
•
It may be necessary to switch on the eternal data medium or select the
appropriate data mode.
•
Please refer to the respective manufact urer's manual for instructions on
the operation of the external data medium.
Supported file formats The operation and performance of the playable file formats on the unit are the
same as for MP3 compressed audio files and are therefore not described
separately here.•
The radio-navigation system can play and control audio files of the
formats MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC from an external data medium.
•
The unit supports playlists in the formats PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL.
•
The unit cannot play WMA audio files (Windows Media Audio) that are
copyright protected by the DRM process (Digital Rights Management).
•
In general, no copyright protected files can be played (e.g. M4P).
•
It is not possible to play files in 3GP format or “WMA lossless” files.
Note that there are no MP3 files stored in a playlist. A playlist only determines
a certain playing order. 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.

– 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.
Other function buttons
The function buttons are only enabled ⇒page 49, fig. 37 when a navigation
CD is inserted and the inserted memory card contains readable navigation
data.

vidual sets of navigation data on the inserted memory card.
– following a confirmation prompt, starts the copying process
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.
