General information

CAUTION

Important information

Do not use solvents such as benzine or turpentine, which may damage the display surface. ■ Treat the display with care, as finger pressure or contact with sharp objects may cause dents and scratches on the surface. ■

Introductory information This Owner's Manual describes all possible equipment variants without identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-driven equipment.

Note

Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment components described in these operating instructions.

The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol, if necessary.

The scope of equipment for your vehicle is described in the sales documentation you were given when purchasing the car. For more information, contact your local ŠKODA retailer. The illustrations in this manual can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only intended for general information.

Anti-theft protection 

Anti-theft coding Your radio is equipped with a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated for the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in the vehicle.

Device operation

After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, you must switch on the ignition first and only then the radio.

The device should only be used when traffic conditions permit safe use.

WARNING Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully responsible for the operation of your vehicle. ■ Only use the device such that you are in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents! ■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehicle, e.g. sirens from vehicles to give way to, such as the police, ambulance and fire brigade , can be heard at all times. ■ High volumes can cause hearing damage!



If you want to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code will need to be entered. In this case you will have to call on a specialist ŠKODA garage.

■

As the unit only functions after entering the safety code, this practically excludes its use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.

Note 

The code is stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is automatically decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not necessary.

› Switch on the radio with the ignition turned on. › Use the selection buttons 1 - 4 12 Enter the safety code. › Confirm the safety code by pressing the selection buttons 2

General information



If an incorrectly entered code is confirmed, the procedure can be repeated once again.

If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible to enter the safety code again after one hour has expired if both the device and the ignition have stayed turned on during that time. The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.

General information

REG Certain programs of the broadcasting companies are divided into regional programs at specific times. That is why in individual regions the regional programs of a station can broadcast different contents. The unit attempts initially to set only alternative frequencies for the selected station. 

If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a “program loss”, the unit also accepts “related” frequencies.

› FIX - the receiver switches to a regional “related” station, if the reception of the current station could be interrupted;

› AUTO - the receiver can access the regional “related” station unlimited. BT-AUDIO Enables a wireless transfer of MP3 data from the telephone preinstallation.

The CD Player is a laser product. On the manufacturing date, this unit was classified as a class 1 laser product in accordance with the national/international standards DIN EN 60825-1: 2008/05 and DHHS Rules 21 CFR, Subchapter J. The laser used in this class 1 laser product is so weak that there is no risk of danger when operated correctly. This product is designed such that the laser is restricted to the inside of the unit. However, the installed laser could be classified in a higher class were the housing to be removed. For this reason, never remove the housing of the unit.

External sources

We recommend that you purchase an adapter for connecting the USB devices, the devices with Mini USB output or an iPod, at an authorised ŠKODAService Partner.

Using the system

Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source The play function volume of the external audio source can be changed via the volume control on the radio.

Advice for dealing with external sources

Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external audio source can be changed.

It is possible to play back external audio sources via the loudspeakers of the radio in the vehicle. When operating the radio, a different audio source can be selected at any time. As long as the external audio source is not switched off, it always remains active in the background. See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for operating the external audio source. In addition, if an external audio source is connected via the multimedia input the display in the Audio menu will be the selection button AUX instead of the selection button MDI . It is important to note that an audio source connected via the AUX-IN input can only be played if no data storage unit is connected to the multimedia input. 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 connected device must be FAT16 ( 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 1,000 files. › A USB extension cable or USB distributor (HUB) must not be used to connect the unit.

You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source, 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 dashboard. These could be thrown into the passenger compartment during sudden driving manoeuvres, injuring the occupants. ■ Never place external sources close to the airbags. These could be thrown into the passenger compartment when the airbags are deployed, injuring the occupants. ■ Never hold external sources in your hand or on your knees while driving. These could be thrown into the passenger compartment during sudden driving manoeuvres, injuring the occupants. ■ Always route the connection cable of the external source such that does not restrict you when driving.

■

CAUTION The AUX-IN input must only be used for audio sources!

Note ■ See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for instructions on operating the external source. ■ The external audio source, connected via AUX-IN, can only be used if no other unit is connected via MDI at the same time. ■ 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 interrupted. This depends on the quality of the adapter which is used.

Adapter A special adapter is required to connect audio sources via the MDI input.
