Note
External audio sources connected to the AUX socket of the MEDIA-IN inter-
face can be played through the radio and navigation system, but cannot be
controlled from there. To control the external audio source, please see the
manufacturer's instructions. As long as the external audio source is not
switched off, it will continue operating even if another source starts to play
in the radio and navigation system.

accessible, as long as the “Activate AUX2 input” check box (Media setup
menu) is ticked. The option should be deactivated when playback has fin-
ished. 

46Audio mode
Note
The USB connection takes precedence over the MEDIA-IN interface AUX in-
put. Both of these, or an iPod adapter where applicable, take precedence
over the additional input. Therefore, to play audio from a device connected
to the AUX RSE input, first make sure that there are no devices or cables
connected to the MEDIA-IN interface.
Note
For further information, please see the Rear Seat Entertainment system
handbook.
Note
If another audio source (CD, SD, etc.) is selected during playback, the exter-
nal player connected to the RSE continues playing. 

Telephone control (Phone)
● Enter PIN shown on the radio and navigation display via the mobile
phone and confirm. Some mobile phones permit a Bluetooth connection us-
ing the “Secure Simple pairing” method. In this case, you are not asked to
enter a PIN from the mobile phone, but to confirm that the PIN displayed on
the mobile and the PIN displayed on the navigation system are the same.
When the PIN has been correctly entered, the mobile phone address book
and call lists are automatically loaded. The time taken to load the informa-
tion will depend upon the quantity of data stored in the mobile phone. Once
the data has been loaded, the telephone control data will be available in
the radio and navigation system. The main menu, PHONE, is displayed on
the screen.
If the PIN is not entered correctly, the Bluetooth visibility automatically
switches off in the radio and navigation system. To reconnect the phone
again, visibility should be reactivated via the Bluetooth settings.
Changing between user profiles
When a mobile phone is connected to the radio and navigation system, a
user profile is created for that mobile.
Up to four different user profiles can be created. If four user profiles have
already been created and you wish to create a new profile, it will be neces-
sary to first delete one of the previous profiles.
It is only possible to connect one mobile phone to the hands-free profile of
the radio and navigation system at a given time.
Up to two different Bluetooth devices can be connected at the same time.
Each device will be linked to a different profile (one as hands-free and one
as multimedia). It is not possible to connect two devices under the same
profile (e.g. two mobile phones as hands-free or two multimedia players at
the same time).
If four profiles have already been created, and you wish to create a new pro-
file, it will be necessary to delete one of the existing profiles from the list. To
delete a user profile, proceed as follows: ●
Press the SETUP
unit button.
● Press the Bluetooth Settings function button.
● Alternatively: select the Bluetooth Settings by turning the setting knob
⇒ Fig. 1 10 and press knob to confirm.
● Press the Paired devices list function button.
● ALTERNATIVELY: Select the Paired device list function button by turning the
setting knob and press knob to confirm.
● Select the mobile phone to be deleted from the list of connected units.
● Press the Delete
function button or the lower button to confirm the pro-
cedure.
After deleting the phone, there will only be three entries in the list of con-
nected units. It will now be possible to start a new connection to another
mobile phone.
Note
For the purposes of security, Bluetooth visibility in the radio and navigation
system is limited to 5 minutes.
Note
The Bluetooth connection has a maximum range of 10 metres. An existing
Bluetooth connection will be disconnected if the distance between the con-
nected units is greater than this. The connection is automatically resumed
when the units are back within the range. 

82Telephone control (Phone)
Note
When a mobile phone is connected for the first time from the navigation
system telephone menu, the phone is paired as a telephone and as a media
player (for playing music stored in the phone via Bluetooth). With a mobile
phone that has already been paired with the navigation system:
● If you try to pair a second mobile phone with the telephone menu, the
first mobile phone will be completely disconnected from the navigation sys-
tem.
● If you try to pair a second mobile phone from the media menu, the first
mobile phone will only be disconnected as a media player, but will continue
to be paired as a mobile phone. This means that the first mobile phone will
operate as a telephone, while the music played will be taken from the song
list on the second mobile phone. 
Automatic pairing
When the telephone has been connected and the corresponding user pro-
file created, your telephone will automatically link up with the SEAT tele-
phone system under the following conditions:
● The mobile phone is switched on and the Bluetooth function and visibili-
ty are activated. The mobile phone must be close to the vehicle.
● Whenever automatic connection was selected in the questions posed
during the first pairing, and provided that the mobile phone user profile has
not been deleted. Main menu
