Important information Warranty The equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles.
After the expiration of the warranty, a piece of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, howev-
er, a precondition that the housing has not been damaged and no unauthorised
attempts have been made to carry out repairs. Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper
handling of the system or from unprofessional repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage. Ð
Device operation The radio should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it.

General information

The volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible signals from the
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire
brigade), can be heard at all times. WARNING
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety. Only use the functions of the radio in such a way
that you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations! CAUTION
● Inserting a second CD while a CD is being ejected can destroy the CD drive in
the unit. Please note that the CD ejection lasts a few seconds after pressing the
Eject key  /  . During this time the lock in front of the CD case is open. It is es-
sential that you wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a
new CD.
● Press the buttons and the keys of the unit gently in order to avoid damaging
them. Gentle pressure on the appropriate key is sufficient to operate the unit.
Please note that the control buttons have predetermined breaking points, in order
to reduce the risk of injury.
● Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects to operate the touch-screen.
Slight finger pressure sufficient to operate the equipment. A display on the
screen, which cannot be called up by pressing the button, is therefore not availa-
ble at that time. Ð
Windscreen cleaning CAUTION
● Do not use solvent such as turpentine or petrol as they will corrode the display
surface.
● Carefully handle the display because dents and scratches can occur through
pressure of the finger or contact with sharp objects. Note
The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol. ÐAnti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding Your radio is equipped with a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated
for the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in the ve-
hicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the ignition
and then the radio.
If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be entered.
In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a
ŠKODA Service Partner or a
ŠKODA importer.
As the unit only functions after entering the safety code, this practically excludes
its use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety. Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not necessa-
ry. Ð
Enter code If a keypad appears after switching on with the command to enter the code, the
unit can be unlocked by entering the correct four-digit code number.
– Press a digit from 0 to
9 on the digit block displayed on the screen. The digit
is accepted in the entry line.
– After a four-digit order has been entered, the group of digits will turn grey (in-
active) and no further digits can be accepted in the entry line.
– Press  on the touch-screen to erase the digits in the entry line from right to
left and thereby correct your input, if necessary.
– If the correct code number is displayed in the entry line, press OK .
Code number
The code number can only be called up

“online” via the ŠKODA system, as this
guarantees even more effective anti-theft protection. Please contact your author-
ized ŠKODA Service Partner, if necessary.  3

Basic setting

You can select another audio source on the radio at any time. As long as the ex-
ternal audio source is not switched off, it remains always active in the back-
ground.
Please refer to the Owner's manual of the respective manufacturer for the opera-
tion of the external audio source.
If a MEDIA-IN socket is additionally installed, the button MDI is displayed instead
of the function key AUX in the
Audio menu . Please note that an audio source con-
nected to the AUX-IN socket can only be replayed, if there is currently no data car-
rier connected to the MDI input.
Use the standard jack plug 3.5
mm for the AUX-IN socket. If the external audio
source does not have this jack plug, you must use an adapter.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
The play function volume of the external audio source can be changed via the vol-
ume control on the radio.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source, in order for
the play function volume of the external audio source to adapt to other audio
sources or to avoid distortions of the play function volume.
Adapter
A special adapter is required to connect audio sources via the input MDI.
We recommend that you purchase an adapter for connecting the USB devices, the
devices with Mini USB output or an iPod, at an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner.

● Only USB devices with the specification 2.0 can be connected.
● The version of the file allocation table FAT (File Allocation Table) of the con-
nected device must be FAT16 ( <2
GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB).
● In order to replay from a unit with a hard disk (HDD) which includes a large da-
ta volume, it can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music
data.
● In order to replay from a unit, which includes a complicated folder structure, it
can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music data.
● The folder structure in the connected unit must not exceed a depth of 8 levels.
One folder must not contain more than 1000°data.
● A USB extension cable or USB distributor (HUB) must not be used to connect
the unit. WARNING

while driving. You could make sudden manoeuvres in the passenger compart-
ment and injure the occupants.

way that is does not restrict you when driving. CAUTION
The AUX-IN socket must only be used for audio sources! Note
● The external audio source, which is connected via AUX-IN, can only be used if
no unit is connected via MDI at the same time.
● If an external audio source is connected via AUX-IN, which is equipped with an
adapter for external power supply, it can occur that the audio signal is interrupted.
This depends on the quality of the adapter which is used.
