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 the ALTEA range and TOLEDO, the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface offers a
USB connector and AUX connector. This is located in the centre console in
the TOLEDO, and under the front armrest in the ALTEA range.
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.

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.
Note
The MDI symbol remains visible and on (highlighted in red), and therefore
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.
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. 

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 that
have been driven. 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 in-
cluded in the route calculation ⇒ page 68. 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 61.
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 22.
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 45.

● Safety notes  ⇒ page 4
● Unit overview ⇒ page 6
● Entering a destination ⇒ page 50
● Destination memory ⇒ page 56
● Route guidance ⇒ page 61
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. 

45
Navigation
If navigation data are unavailable or incomplete, the navigation system may
be unable to determine the exact vehicle position. As a result, the naviga-
tion may not be as exact as usual.
Navigation area and age of navigation data
The accuracy of the data (small villages, streets and house numbers) de-
pends on the respective version for the country.
Roads and streets are subject to constant change (e.g. new roads, changes
to street names and house numbers). After some time, navigation data will
no longer be up to date. This may lead to inaccurate or incorrect route guid-
ance.
In the case of small villages, they may have to be searched for as Points of
Interest (POI) rather than by their name.
Map updates and different map versions (East/West Europe) are available
through SD cards. Please consult a Technical Service. 
Updating the internal navigation data memory
Fig. 43 Navigation setup
menu. The navigation data for the vehicle sales zone are stored in the internal
memory of the navigation system. This data can be used directly for naviga-
tion.
It is also possible to navigate using navigation data stored in one of the
available SD cards (please consult a Technical Service), without needing to
download the data from the SD card to the internal memory of the navigator
(this option is recommended if temporarily using a navigation database:
e.g. different geographical areas).
The navigation data in the internal memory of the system can be updated
using the SD cards available (please consult a Technical Service). Please
note that if you upload data from the SD card to the internal memory of the
navigator, the data previously stored in this memory will be deleted and
cannot be recovered (option recommended for updating cartography).
Updating navigation data
A memory card containing updated navigation data can be obtained from a
Technical Service.
● Cancel the mechanical protection against overwriting in the memory
card.
● Inserting the memory card ⇒ page 27.
If the inserted memory card contains valid navigation data, a window opens
asking whether you wish to permanently allocate the memory card to the ra-
dio navigation system.
Due to licensing legislation, when the copy has been completed, the memo-
ry card will be allocated to this radio and navigation system and can not be
used for other radio and navigation units.
● Press the Assign
function button to continue.
Information about the navigation data installed and available on the memo-
ry card is displayed.
● Press the function button Install
to start copying the information.
