30Audio modeNotes and restrictions
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.
●

Similarly,you will still need to start playback manually from the Bluetooth audiosource. Once playback of the Bluetooth audio source has finished, the info-tainment system will remain in AUDIO BT mode.
Controlling playback
The extent to which the Bluetooth audio source can be controlled via the in-fotainment system depends on the Bluetooth audio source connected.

General information
Please refer to the notes on using a mobile phone in the vehicle withoutconnection to exterior antenna ⇒ Booklet Instruction Manual, chapter Ac-cessories and technical modifications.
Only use devices that support Bluetooth. At your SEAT dealership, or on theInternet, you will find information about products that support Bluetooth.
Take into account the instruction manual of the mobile phone and of themanufacturer of the accessories. In areas with poor coverage there may beanomalies in the reception and calls may be interrupted.
Most electronic devices are shielded against radio frequency signals (high-frequency). On some occasions, nevertheless, electronic devices cannot beprotected against the radio frequency signals from the telephone manager.This may produce interference.
Note
●There may be restrictions on the use of Bluetooth devices in some coun-tries. Information is available from the local authorities.●
To connect the telephone manager to a device via Bluetooth technology,read the corresponding instruction manual for the particular safety instruc-tions. Only use products that support Bluetooth.
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth technology is used to connect a mobile phone to the vehicle's tel-ephone manager. To use the telephone manager with a mobile phone withBluetooth, the linking process must be carried out once.
If a connection has already been established, some mobile telephones withBluetooth are recognised and a connection is established with them auto-matically when the ignition is switched on. For this purpose, the mobilephone and its Bluetooth must be connected, and all the live Bluetooth con-nections with other devices must be closed.
The Bluetooth wireless connection is free.

Bluetooth® profiles
When you connect a mobile phone to the telephone manager, the data ex-change is through one of the 2 Bluetooth profiles.
●
Hands-free Bluetooth profile (HFP): If a mobile phone is connected tothe telephone manager through the HFP, calls can be made wirelesslythrough the hands-free device.
●
Advanced audio profile (A2DP): Bluetooth profile for transmitting audiosignals with stereo quality.
Voice control
Many radio, media, telephone and navigation functions may be activatedthrough voice commands.
