Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage canrender a data medium unusable. Please observe the manufacturer's instruc-tions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturersmay lead to anomalies during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data mediumdue to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used forrecording. Information can be found on the internet regarding the best waysto create audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Depending on the size, its condition due to use (copy and delete process-es), the folder structure and file type, the read time of the data media usedcan vary considerably.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored ina playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data me-dium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).

Depending on the market and the features, the vehicle may have a MEDIA-IN multimedia interface ⇒ Booklet Instruction manual.
The infotainment system enables you to play and manage audio files andsome video files from an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-INmultimedia interface.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means USB mass stor-age devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players, iPods®
and USB sticks.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of 5volts.
Adapter for connecting a data medium
The external data media are connected to the MEDIA-IN multimedia inter-face using an adaptor.
Depending on the market and features, the adaptor is included in the sup-ply. Other adaptors can be purchased from your SEAT Dealership.
Do not use memory card adaptors, USB extension cords or USB hubs!

The infotainment system enables you to view, play and manage compatibleaudio files through the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface.
In the case of MTP players and depending on the battery charge and thequantity of data, it may take a few minutes for them to be ready for use.
External hard discs with a capacity greater than 32 GB must, in certain cir-cumstances, be reformatted to the FAT32 file system. On the Internet, for ex-ample, you will find programs and instructions for this.
If the data carrier has several partitions, only the first partition will be recog-nised (except with USB, in which the first 2 will be visible). Take into ac-count all other instructions and limitations regarding requirements for me-dia sources.
Connecting and disconnecting an external data medium
●
Connect a suitable adaptor to the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface.
●
Connect the external data medium to the MEDIA-IN multimedia interfacevia the adapter.
●
If necessary, switch on the external data medium or select the appropri-ate data mode.
Regardless of any indications to the contrary that there may be on the mat-ter, the external data medium can be disconnected from the MEDIA-IN multi-media interface at any time without losing the data.
When disconnecting an iPod® or iPhone® from the adaptor, take care topress the two unlocking tabs on the narrow sides of the iPod® connector si-multaneously.
