navigation system and allows you to play audio files directly
over the vehicle's sound system.The iPod interface is located in the vehicle glove box. It is compatible with 3rd
generation or higher iPod
3) devices (made from about 2003 onwards), with
the exception of the iPod Shuffle.
The iPod is controlled using the CD function ⇒page 44.
•The navigation system orders (first numerically and then alphabetically)
the playlists with the tracks stored in the iPod and then assigns them in the
sequence CD 1 to CD 5. For easier playing of these playlists through the
vehicle's sound system, we recommend you create five playlists (e.g. 1.... to
5....) in your iPod.•If you select CD 6, all the tracks on the iPod will be played even if they are
stored in different playlists.
Information stored on the iPod, such as artist, track, album and genre, or the
name of a playlist, does not appear on the navigation system display.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence in a vehicle's inte-
rior) can cause damage to the iPod and/or impair its performance.•Please do not leave your iPod in the vehicle in case of extreme tempera-
tures.
Note
Please refer to the iPod operating instructions for important information on
how to use your iPod.Choosing the adapter
The iPod interface is supplied with a choice of adapters for
connecting your iPod.iPods come in different sizes. Therefore, you will need to match the iPod inter-
face ⇒fig. 31 to your iPod using one of the adapters supplied. You will
need two adapters for certain iPod models (touch, 5G (video), classic).
The iPod interface is supplied with the following adapters:
1. Narrow adapters of different heights for inserting into the central slot
below the bay .

The iPod is operated just like a CD changer using the controls
on your vehicle's navigation system.The following functions are available:•Play all tracks stored on the iPod•Select and play up to five playlists (just like selecting CD 1 to 5 on a CD
changer).•Change between playlists (just like “selecting a CD” on the CD changer)•Fast forward and rewind within a track•Change tracks within a playlist•Shuffle function (random selection of tracks)•SCAN function
For further information on operation, please refer to the “CD/MP3” chapter
⇒ page 44.TipsHere are some tips and points to remember when using the iPod in the
vehicle:•Track numbers appear with a maximum of two digits in the navigation
system display. The first digit is suppressed if you select a track with a three-
digit number, i.e. track 125 and track 25 are both displayed as track “25”. For
this reason we do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each
playlist.•If you reach the end of a playlist when selecting a track directly
(forward/reverse), the count is resumed at track “1”.
•The track numbers are counted up sequentially in the navigation system
display when you play tracks in shuffle mode (MIX).•We recommend you do not use the “Name CD” function, as all the playl-
ists will then be allocated the same name.USB Interface*Introduction
You can connect a memory stick or an MP3 player to the
vehicle's on-board navigation system via the USB port.The USB port is located in your vehicle's glove box. It is compatible with all
memory sticks and MP3 players approved by SEAT. Problems can occur if you
use a memory stick or MP3 player not list ed in the table. Your memory device
must be USB-certified as a minimum requirement.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the driver, you
bear the responsibility for road safety. Do not remove the memory stick or
MP3 player while driving. Failure to do so may cause an accident.•The volume of the sound system should be set at a level that enables
you to hear acoustic signals from outside, such as police and fire brigade
sirens. Failure to do so may cause an accident.Caution
Very high or very low temperatures (a common occurrence inside a vehicle)
may cause damage to the memory stick or MP3 player and/or impair its
performance.

–Plug the memory stick into the USB port ⇒fig. 32 (arrow), or – Connect the
MP3 player to a standard USB extension cable and
plug the extension cable into the USB port ⇒.
– Before you remove the memory device, switch the audio source for the navigation system back to radio.
It may take several seconds for the USB port to detect the memory device.
The MP3 player is switched off automatically when you switch off the naviga-
tion system or the ignition. The USB port stores the position of the last track
you were playing. If you do not alter the contents of your memory device, the
music will be continued at the point where you stopped playing.
MP3 players and USB sticks which are not explicitly approved must have
“CERTIFIED USB
TM” or “CERTIFIED HIGH SPEED USB
TM” status.

Functions
Music files are played just like on a CD changer using the
controls on your vehicle navigation system.To start the memory stick or MP3 player, select the “CD changer” function on
the navigation system.
The following functions are available:•Play all tracks stored on the memory device (if no folders are stored on the
memory device)•Select and play up to six main folders with music files (just like selecting
CD 1 to 6 on a CD changer)•Change between main folders with music files (just like changing the CD
on a CD changer)•Change tracks within a main folder•Fast forward and rewind within a track•SCAN function•Play tracks in random or shuffle mode
For further information on operation, please refer to the “CD/MP3” chapter
⇒ page 44.TipsHere are some tips and points to remember when playing music files in the
car:•We recommend that, instead of storing music files in the main directory of
the memory stick or MP3 player, you create separate folders e.g. for tracks
belonging to the same genre or artist. Your navigation system can only
display and play a maximum of six folders, however. The folders are allocated first in numerical order and then in alphabetical order as CD 1 to CD 6. Folders
that do not contain music files are automatically ignored. You can create any
number of subfolders.
•If there are no folders on your memory device, the navigation system will
allocate all the music files it finds to CD 1.•Track numbers appear with a maximum of two digits in the navigation
system display. The first digit is suppressed if you select a track with a three-
digit number, i.e. track 125 and track 25 are both displayed as track “25”. We
therefore do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each folder.•We recommend you do not use the “Name CD” function, as the folders
may not be named correctly.•Bear in mind that special characters (diaeresis, accents, etc) are at the
end of the alphabet.
The following music formats are supported:•mp3 (MPEG1 Layer3 from 32 to 320 kbps)•wma (from 8 to 192 kbps)•wav (11.025, 22.050 and 44.1 kHz sampling frequency with 16-bit
encoding, stereo)•ogg vorbis (up to q10, 48 kHz, stereo)
DRM music formats are not supported.Caution
Never store important data on the memory stick or MP3 player. SEAT is not
liable in any manner for any data or files that may be damaged or lost.
