40Playing order of files and foldersThe equipment plays the MP3s stored on a data media in the following order.
The illustration shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks, folders and
subfolders.
•Playback commences with the first track of the “root directory” of the CD.
For example, there are two titles and in the root directory.•Once the tracks from the root directory have been played, the tracks in the
folders are next, following the same order as they are found in the data
media. For example, there are two main folders in the root directory: F1 and
F2 . The folder F1 is found in the first place within the root directory, which
means that the two files in it ( and ) will be played immediately after
those in the root directory.•Once the tracks from the first folder have been played, the tracks in the
subfolders are next, following the same order as they are found in the data
media. For example, folder F1 has two subfolders: F1.1 and F1.2, which
contains a subfolder F1.1.1 within F1.1. The unit first plays all the tracks in
subfolder F1.1 , then switches to subfolder F1.1.1 and plays the tracks in
that subfolder Once all of the tracks from subfolder F1.1.1 have been
played, subfolder F1.2 is next, and the tracks in . If there are more
subfolders within F1.2, the unit changes to those folders as described above.•Once all of the files in the first folder of the root directory (and the
subfolders) have been played, the files in the next folder are played, in the
order described above. For example, tracks and in folder F2.•The track that is currently playing is highlighted in the radio-navigation
system's track list page 36, fig. 27 . The name of the folder currently being
played appears in the bottom line of the screen. If the track is in the root direc-
tory of the data media, only the name of the data media is shown.Note
•The unit also supports playlists and treats them like folders when playing
files.•Refer to the notes on requirements for data media, folders and playlists

MEDIA-IN multi-media interface (MDI)Description
The MEDIA-IN multi-media interface provides users with a
USB connector and an AUX connector. Depending on the
vehicle, this interface is located in the central console or
underneath the central armrest between the front seats.
Depending on the vehicle's unit, the followin g is possible from the radio-navi-
gation unit through the MEDIA-IN interface:•Play and operate audio files from a mass storage medium or MP3 player
with USB connection. The MEDIA-IN multi-media interface supplies the usual
USB voltage of 5 volts.•Play and operate audio files from an iPod. In this case, the iPod must be
connected using the cable or special SEAT adapter support. In the case of the
León, the "AUX2 Input" option must be enabled in the Media Settings menu
(MEDIA →SETUP) for audio playback of an iPod.•Play audio files from an external medium connected to the AUX socket.
External audio sources connected to the AUX socket of the MEDIA-IN interface
can be played through the radio-navigation system but cannot be operated.
Consult the specific manufacturer's instruction manual for operating the
external audio source. The external audio source will continue to play until it
is switched off, despite another source starting to play in the radio-navigation
system. In the case of the León, the "AUX2 Input" option must be selected in
the Media Settings menu (MEDIA →SETUP) for audio playback of a device
connected to the AUX socket.

42•If the vehicle is equipped with a Rear Seat Entertainment system, audio
from a portable multi-media device connected to the AUX RSE socket can be
played through the radio-navigation system. To play audio from a device
connected to this socket, enable the "AUX2 Input" option in the Media
Settings menu (MEDIA →SETUP) . Make sure no other multi-media device or
audio cable is connected to the MEDIA-IN interface, as these take playback
priority over the AUX2 input. Refer to the Rear Seat Entertainment system
manual for further information.WARNING
The risk of injury during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an accident is
increased if the glove compartment cover or armrest is open.•Always keep the glove compartment and armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion.WARNING
Loose objects inside the vehicle may obstruct the driver and lead to serious
injuries.•The external audio data medium must never be placed on the instru-
ment panel. A sudden driving manoeuvre could cause the device to be flung
through the vehicle interior and injure occupants.•The external audio source must never be placed close to an airbag. If an
airbag is triggered, the device could be flung towards the compartment and
injure the vehicle passengers.•Occupants must not have the data medium in their hands or placed on
their legs while the vehicle is in motion. A sudden driving manoeuvre could
cause the device to be flung through the vehicle interior and injure occu-
pants.•The wires connecting the external data medium must be arranged so
they do not obstruct you when driving.
Note
•Only audio files readable through the MEDIA-IN socket will be displayed
and played. Where a medium connected contains damaged files or files in
unreadable formats, these will not be displayed.•USB connection takes priority over the MEDIA-IN interface AUX socket.
Either of these, or an iPod adapter where applicable, takes priority over the
AUX RSE socket. Therefore, to play audio from a medium connected to the
AUX RSE socket, make sure there is no device or cable connected to the
MEDIA-IN interface.•You can disconnect the connection with the external medium whenever
required without losing data, independent to the indications of the external
data media.External data media requirements •The unit only supports external data media and USB mass storage devices
that comply with the USB 2.0 specifications.•External data media must use a FAT file system, either FAT16 (< 2 GB) or
FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table)•In the case of MTP players (Media Transfer Protocol), which have the
“PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista” logo, factors such as the battery status
and the quantity of data may affect the way these devices respond to commu-
nication via the MEDIA-IN multi-media interface. It may take several minutes
before the MTP player is ready to play.•When playing files from large hard drive memories with many files and
complex file structures (a large number of folders and subfolders, non-play-
able files, etc.), there may be delays in the reading of audio files. The
connected device may also affect the unit's response time.•The folder structure on the external data medium should not have more
than eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1000 items.
