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.
76Telephone control (Phone)
Changing between user profiles
When a mobile phone is connected to the radio and navigation system, a
user profile is created for that mobile.
Up to four different user profiles can be created. If four user profiles have
already been created and you wish to create a new profile, it will be neces-
sary to first delete one of the previous profiles.
It is only possible to connect one mobile phone to the hands-free profile of
the radio and navigation system at a given time.
Up to two different Bluetooth devices can be connected at the same time.
Each device will be linked to a different profile (one as hands-free and one
as multimedia). It is not possible to connect two devices under the same
profile (e.g. two mobile phones as hands-free or two multimedia players at
the same time).
To delete a user profile, proceed as follows:
● Press the SETUP
unit button.
● Press the Bluetooth Settings function button.
● Alternatively: select the Bluetooth Settings by turning the setting knob
⇒ Fig. 1 10 and press knob to confirm.
● Press the Paired devices list function button.
● OR: Select the Paired device list function button by turning the setting
knob and press knob to confirm.
● Select the mobile phone to be deleted from the list of connected units.
● Press the Delete
function button or the lower button to confirm the pro-
cedure.
After deleting the phone, there will only be three entries in the list of con-
nected units. It will now be possible to start a new connection to another
mobile phone.
Note
For the purposes of security, Bluetooth visibility in the radio and navigation
system is limited to 5 minutes.
Note
The Bluetooth connection has a maximum range of 10 metres. An existing
Bluetooth connection will be disconnected if the distance between the con-
nected units is greater than this. The connection is automatically resumed
when the units are back within the range.
Note
When a mobile phone is connected for the first time from the navigation
system telephone menu, the phone is paired as a telephone and as a media
player (for playing music stored in the phone via Bluetooth). With a mobile
phone that has already been paired with the navigation system:
● If you try to pair a second mobile phone with the telephone menu, the
first mobile phone will be completely disconnected from the navigation sys-
tem.
● If you try to pair a second mobile phone from the media menu, the first
mobile phone will only be disconnected as a media player, but will continue
to be paired as a mobile phone. This means that the first mobile phone will
operate as a telephone, while the music played will be taken from the song
list on the second mobile phone.
Automatic pairing
When the telephone has been connected and the corresponding user pro-
file created, your telephone will automatically link up with the SEAT tele-
phone system under the following conditions:

Bluetooth System
Introduction General information
This system allows you to connect your mobile phone via Bluetooth connec-
tion and to use the hands-free mode, as well as connecting a multimedia
player.
The hands-free device means that the telephone can be used inside the ve-
hicle; the driver will not have to remove their hands from the steering wheel
nor will be distracted from traffic.
Available functions include making calls in hands-free mode, access to the
phone book, access to the call list, music playback via streaming audio and
control of the voice recognition system.
Before using the Bluetooth system, the mobile phone should be connected
to the vehicle installation via Bluetooth ⇒ page 89.
Switching on/off
The Bluetooth system is activated when the ignition is turned on and it is
deactivated when the key is removed from the ignition.
With the system activated, if the “PTT” is pressed the voice control activates
and if there is no telephone connected, Bluetooth visible is turned on and
begins searching for a telephone.
If there is a call in process when the system is deactivated, the active call is
not cancelled, but transferred to the mobile phone.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology permits the connection of a mobile phone to the vehi-
cle hands free system. In order to use the system with a mobile phone with Bluetooth technology, the process of pairing them must be performed in ad-
vance.
Use compatible Bluetooth devices only. For more information about compat-
ible Bluetooth products, consult your dealership or the SEAT website.
Some Bluetooth mobile phones are detected and connected automatically
when the ignition is switched on. For this to take place the telephone must
be switched on and its Bluetooth function activated, and there must be no
active Bluetooth connection from other devices.
Bluetooth connections are free.

porarily “overloaded”, it may not respond to the requests from the Blue-
tooth system. The following message is shown in the instrument panel dis-
play: “Mobile phone does not respond ”.
In this case, wait for the mobile phone to react or make a new call.
