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.

tedPlayback from the ex-
ternal data medium or
communication via the
adapter cable used is
not possible.Test the adapter cable.
If possible, update the soft-
ware for the external data
medium.
Unit not ready for
operationCommunication fault.Check the connection and
make sure the external data
medium is working correctly.
Due to the large number of different data media and various iPod ®
and
iPhone ®
generations available, it is not possible to guarantee fault-free
operation of all functions described here.
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. 
