RDS radio data and TP (Traffic Programme)
services
Introduction
RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio data service for broadcasting pro-
gramme and additional service identifiers, and displaying station names
and radio text, automatic station tracking and traffic programmes.
The RDS is not compatible with all equipment and is not available every-
where or on all radio stations.
Without RDS it is not possible to use the RDS radio services .
Additional Information:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 6
● Unit overview ⇒ page 8
● Radio mode ⇒ page 14
Note
The radio station is responsible for the content of the broadcast informa-
tion. RDS and radio text

menu with station name
display and TP function
activated.
If the RDS service is available and the quality of reception is good enough,
the station name may be displayed in Radio mode ⇒ Fig. 15.
Automatic station tracking
Some FM stations broadcast different content (temporary or permanent) on
different wavelengths using the same name depending on the region.
By default, automatic station tracking always switches to the currently se-
lected radio station's frequency that offers the best reception, as the vehicle
travels from one area to the next. As a result, you may lose the regional pro-
gramme you are listening to. The automatic change of station can be de-
leted using the setting menu Radio ⇒ page 19.
Display and delete the radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text.
● In the RADIO main menu, press the 
unit button.
While radio text is switched on  is shown at the top right of the screen. 

DAB digital radio mode
Introduction
Some units also have a DAB radio receiver. DAB is a broadcasting standard
for the overland reception of radio programmes

Note

Operation
In Europe, digital radio has two DAB broadcasting standards, DAB+ and
DMB radio. The digital radio broadcasts on frequencies from waveband III
(174 MHz to 240 MHz) and waveband L (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “channels”, and are abbreviated
accordingly (for example, 12 A).
In one channel, several DAB stations join together with the additional avail-
able services, forming an “Ensemble”.
These additional services are used to send additional information to the ra-
dio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.). DAB is currently
not available in all areas. When the DAB radio mode is ac-
tive, in areas where DAB is not available, the symbol of an aerial crossed
out is displayed.
Depending on the settings, in DAB mode incoming DAB messages are
played (for example, news, sport, weather forecasts, warnings, etc.)
⇒ page 27.
As a general rule, while you are driving the DAB tracking function changes
to the channel of the currently playing digital station with the best recep-
tion. This permits additional settings to be made ⇒ page 27.
Note
If the symbol of a crossed-out aerial is displayed “”, this indicates that
the currently playing digital station on the channel selected is no longer
available in this location.
Note
Some digital stations also offer the radio text service. This is activated in
exactly the same way as for a conventional radio station ⇒ page 21.
Note
The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the DAB and DAB+ standards. 

dio source must be compatible with the Bluetooth A2DP profile. Starting Bluetooth audio transfer
●
Pair or connect the external audio source with the Bluetooth interface of
the radio and navigation system using the “Bluetooth settings” submenu in
the Media settings menu. This submenu allows you to use the Bluetooth
connections using audio devices. It is used in the same way as the “Blue-
tooth Settings” submenu in the Telephone settings menu .
● Lower the base volume on the radio-navigation system ⇒ page 10.
● Start playback on the Bluetooth external audio source.
Depending on the unit, you can start playback of the Bluetooth audio
source via the Media selection menu ⇒ page 37.
Starting Bluetooth audio playback
● In the main menu, press the MEDIA
button to open the Media selection
menu.
● Select the 
Bluetooth function button for the mode described
⇒  page 38.
Bluetooth Audio mode is indicated by BT audio or  on the screen.
When playback on the external audio source is stopped, the radio-naviga-
tion system remains in the Bluetooth audio menu ⇒ Fig. 31. To switch to an-
other audio source, it must be selected manually ⇒ page 38.
Note
The output volume of the connected external audio source should be adjus-
ted to the volume of the other audio sources ⇒ page 41.
Note
Always switch off the warning and service tones on a connected Bluetooth
audio source, e.g. key tones on a mobile telephone, to prevent interference
noise and malfunctions. 

Navigation
Navigation Introduction to navigation
Introduction
General information
The current vehicle position is determined by means of the GPS system
(Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances driv-
en. The measurement values are adapted using the detailed information
from the navigation data medium maps and according to the stored traffic
management. Where applicable, the TMC traffic reports are included in the
route calculation ⇒ page 71. The navigation system uses these data to
determine an optimal route to the destination.
The destination is defined by entering an address or a point of interest, e.g.
a petrol station or hotel.
Navigation announcements and visual guidance on the navigation unit and
the instrument panel direct you to your destination ⇒ page 64.
Depending on the country, some radio-navigation system functions can no
longer be selected when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed. This
is not a malfunction, but simply a legal requirement.
Navigation data
At the close of this edition, SEAT has two different versions of radio and nav-
igation system “SEAT MEDIA SYSTEM 2.2”, one for Western Europe and one
for Eastern Europe, with and without DAB respectively ⇒ page 24.
In normal circumstances, all the necessary navigation data is already stored
in the navigator. The maps stored in the system (Western Europe or Eastern
Europe Version) depend on the country in which the vehicle is sold. SD cards with the different maps offered by SEAT or with the annual map up-
dates can be obtained through the SEAT Technical Service. Please ask your
SEAT dealership ⇒ page 48.

● Destination memory ⇒ page 59
● Route guidance ⇒ page 64
Note
Dirty or damaged navigation data media may lead to problems when copy-
ing navigation information or even in the navigation itself. Store unused da-
ta media in a suitable container or in the original box to protect them from
mechanical damage, heat, humidity or direct sunlight. 
Limitations of the navigation function
Possible errors in navigation
If the navigation system is not able to receive data from the GPS satellites
(dense vegetation, underground garage), it is still possible to navigate us-
ing the vehicle sensory analysis.
In areas that are not or only partially digitised on the data medium (e.g. in-
sufficient definition of one-way streets and road categories), the navigation
system will still attempt to provide route guidance. 
