MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
Introduction
For the ALHAMBRA model, depending on the version, the MEDIA-IN multi-
media interface is in the passenger storage compartment or the centre arm-
rest between the two front seats.
For ALTEA, ALTEA XL, ALTEA Freetrack, LEON and TOLEDO models, the MEDIA-
IN multimedia interface offers a USB connector and AUX connector. This is
located in the centre console in the LEON and TOLEDO, and under the front
armrest of the ALTEAS.
The supported file formats listed below are collectively referred to in this
manual as “audio files”.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multime-
dia interface can be played and controlled via the radio-navigation system.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means multimedia de-
vices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players, iPods ®
and
USB memories. External data media are displayed as MDI (Media Device In-
terface).
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of 5
volts.

connected to the MEDIA-IN interface.

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-
