Safety instructions
Preventive measures with laser devices:
Laser devices are classified in the safety classes 1-4 according to DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837.
The CD player of this device corresponds with safety class 1.
The laser used in class 1 devices is low-energy or is shielded so that there is no risk when used for its
intended purpose.
WARNING
Distraction of the driver can result in accident and injuries.
Always drive attentively and responsibly.
Select the volume settings so that acoustic signals originating from outside can be well
perceived (e. g. the siren of emergency services).
Volume set too loud may damage your hearing. This also applies if your hearing is exposed
to loud volumes for short periods.
WARNING
Operating the radio or the Bluetooth device as well as connecting, inserting, playing back or
removing a data carrier when driving may distract you from traffic situations and lead to
accidents.
All settings made to the radio should only be carried out when the vehicle is stationary.
Use the data carrier only when the vehicle is stationary.
Use the mobile phone / Bluetooth playback device only when the vehicle is stationary and
observe all legal guidelines!
WARNING
When changing or connecting an audio source, you may experience sudden fluctuations in the
volume.
Reduce the volume before changing or connecting an audio source.
WARNING
An external device that is not secured at all or correctly can be flung through the interior of the
vehicle causing injuries as the result of sudden driving or braking manoeuvres as well as an
accident or a collision.
Never arrange or mount the external device on the doors, on the windscreen, above or near
to the area marked with "AIRBAG" on the steering wheel, the dashboard, the backrests or
between these areas and the passengers themselves. The external device may lead to severe
injuries in event of an accident, especially when the airbags are triggered.
BEWARE
Connecting cables for external devices may impair the driver.
Route the connecting line in such a manner that the driver is not obstructed.
WARNING
Opening the housing of a CD player may lead to injuries caused by non-visible laser radiation.
Have CD players repaired only by a specialist company.
106
Do not press the knobs and buttons of the device too hard as this may cause damage to it. A light push
of the button is sufficient to operate the device.
Do not open the device. There is nothing inside the device that can be repaired by the user.
Use a soft and dry cloth to clean the device. Never use rough cloths, thinner, petroleum, alcohol, etc. For
heavy contamination, use a lightly moistened cloth to carefully wipe away the dirt.
Never insert foreign objects (screwdriver, penknife, metal objects, etc.) into the openings of the device as
these may damage the device. Such damage is not covered by the guarantee.
Always insert CDs into or remove CDs from the CD drive straight and at right angles to the front of the
device without tilting in order to prevent scratching.
Inserting a second CD when a CD is already inserted or is being played back may destroy the CD drive.
Always wait for the complete data carrier output.
Foreign objects stuck to a data carrier and irregular shaped data carriers may lead to damage to the CD
drive.
Use only clean standard 12 cm CDs!
- Do not glue any labels or similar onto the data carrier. Stickers may loosen and result in damage
being caused to the drive.
- Do not use printable data carriers. Coatings and prints may loosen and result in damage being
caused to the drive.
- Do not insert 8 cm single CDs and irregular shaped CDs (Shape CDs) or DVDs.
- Do not insert DVD-Plus, Dual Disc and Flip Discs as these are thicker than normal CDs.
Use a soft, non-fluffy cloth to clean the CDs. In doing so, wipe the CD in straight lines from the middle to
the outside. Intensive dirt can be removed using a commercially available CD cleaner or isopropyl
alcohol.
Always store unused CDs in a compartment intended for this purpose or in the original CD cover.
The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged if the playback is too loud or distorted.
Under certain circumstances, you may not be able to play back CDs with copy protection and
self-made CD-R and CD-RW CDs or the playback is limited.
Observe all legal guidelines concerning copyright.

Anti-theft coding
The anti-theft coding prevents the reactivation of the device electronically when it is removed by
unauthorised persons.
If "SAFE" appears on the display for approx. 10 seconds immediately after turning on the device and
then "1000" continuously, enter the code corresponding to the device to deactivate the electronic lock.
Enter the code number
After turning on the device, "SAFE" appears on the display and then, after a short period, "1000".
By pressing a function button Page 108 several times, the four digit code can be entered.
Thereby, the function buttons are allocated as follows:
After entering the four digits, keep the button pressed until the acceptance of the code has been
confirmed by an acoustic signal. Then the device is ready for operation.
Device card
The code and serial number is located on a device card supplied with the device. The device card must
be kept in a safe place. Never leave it in the vehicle. The device is only useful for thieves if they also
have the card!
Incorrect code number
If the incorrect code number is entered when disabling the electronic lock, first "SAFE" appears flashing
on the display and then "1000" again. Now the complete procedure can be repeated again. The number
of attempts already carried out will be shown to the left on the display. If an incorrect code number is
entered again, the device is blocked for approx. one hour. This means that it cannot be put into
operation for this period. The lock can be recognised by the continuous "SAFE" and the number of
attempts will be shown to the left on the display. After one hour – the device and vehicle ignition must
remain switched on for this – the display goes out and the electronic lock can be disabled again, as
previously described. The cycle – two attempts, blocked for one hour – still applies.
If the device card with code number has been lost, please contact your Volkswagen Partner.
Language settings
The display language can only be set in radio mode.
Press the button again until the current language set is displayed.
Press the respective function button for selecting the language.

Requirements on the data carrier and audio files
Limitations and information
Dirt, high temperatures and mechanical damage can render a data carrier unusable. Observe the
information of the data carrier manufacturer.
Quality differences with data carriers from different manufacturer may lead to problems when playing
back.
Observe all legal guidelines concerning copyright!
Configuration of a data carrier, or devices and programs used for recording, could mean that individual
tracks or the data carrier cannot be read. Information on this, such as how to create audio files and data
carriers in the best possible way (compression rate, ID3 tag, etc.) can be found on the internet, for
example.
Due to the larger data volume, it takes a little longer for reading in a data carrier with compressed audio
files (MP3, AAC, WMA, etc.) than when reading in a conventional audio CD. Complicated folder
structures can further delay this reading in.
The number of tracks that can be read is limited to 999. If more tracks are stored on the data carrier,
these are ignored from the thousandth track and cannot be played back.
The radio is compatible for the following Apple devices (iPod operation):
iPhone, Generation 1, 3, 3GS and 4
iPod classic
iPod nano, Generation 1 to 6
iPod touch, Generation 1 to 4
iPod classic Gen. 4 is a USB data carrier and not connected in the iPod mode Page 117.

Sequence of playing audio files
To determine a specific play back sequence, audio files
(tracks) on a data carrier are often sorted into folders.
The track and folder are sorted amongst one another in
numeric and alphabetic order on the data carrier
according to their name.
In doing so, sub-folders are treated as folders and are
numbered on the CD according to their order.
As an example, Figure 2 shows a typical MP3-CD that
includes the track , folder A and subfolder.
Thus, the track and folder A of this CD are played
and displayed in the following sequence:
1. Track and in the root directory of the CD
2. Track and in the first folder F1 in the root
directory of the CD
3. Track in the first sub-folder F1.1 of the folder F1
4. Track in the first sub-folder F1.1.1 of the sub-
folder F1.1
5. Track in the second sub-folder F1.2 of the
folder F1
6. Track and in the second folder F2
