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.

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.

interior) may cause damage to portable players and/or impair their perform-
ance. Please do not leave your portable player in the vehicle in case of 
extreme temperatures.•Never store important data on portable players. SEAT is not liable in any
