Using the system
Advice for dealing with external sources
An external audio source connected to the AUX-IN input can be played in the car through the speakers of the device.
External audio sources cannot be controlled via the device.
A different audio source can be selected on the device at any time. As long as the
external audio source is not switched off, it always remains active in the back-
ground.
See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for operating the external
audio source.
Conditions for a successful connection
To connect external audio sources via the AUX-IN input a 3,5 mm standard jack
plug is needed. If the external audio source does not have this jack plug, you must
use an adapter.
› Only USB devices with the specification 2.0 can be connected.
› The version of the file allocation table FAT (File Allocation Table) of the connec-
ted device must be FAT16 ( <2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB).
› In order to replay from a unit with a hard disk (HDD) which includes a large data
volume, it can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music
data.
› In order to replay from a unit, which includes a complicated folder structure, it
can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music data.
› The folder structure in the connected unit must not exceed a depth of 8 levels.
One folder must not contain more than 1000°data.
› A USB extension cable or USB distributor (HUB) must not be used to connect
the unit.

devices with Mini USB output or an iPod, at an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source

control on the device.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source » page 4,
AUX , in order to adapt the play volume of the external audio source to that of the
other audio sources or to avoid distortions .WARNING■ Never place external sources on the console panel. They could be thrown in-
to the passenger compartment during sudden driving manoeuvres, thereby in-
juring the occupants.■
Never place external sources close to the airbags. These could be thrown in-
to the passenger compartment when the airbags are deployed, injuring the
occupants.
■
Never hold external sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.
They could be thrown into the passenger compartment during sudden driving
manoeuvres, thereby injuring the occupants.

Note
■ See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for instructions on operat-
ing the external source.■
If an external audio source is connected via AUX-IN, which is equipped with an
adapter for external power supply, it can occur that the audio signal is interrup-
ted. This depends on the quality of the adapter which is used.
