media interface is in the passenger storage compartment or the centre
armrest between the two front seats.
For the ALTEA, ALTEA XL, ALTEA Freetrack and LEON models, the MEDIA-IN
multimedia interface offers users a USB connector and an AUX connector,
located on the centre console in the Leon and under the front armrest in the
Alteas.
The supported file formats listed below are collectively referred to in this
manual as “audio files”.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multi-
media interface can be played and controlled via the radio and navigation
system.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means USB mass
storage devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players,
iPods
® and USB sticks. External data media are displayed as MDI (Media
Device Interface).
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of 5 volts.
