Unit buttons and function selection buttons

This manual uses a button symbol with blue content and the word “unit

button” to refer to buttons on the unit.

Unit buttons are operated either by pressing or pressing and holding them

(e.g. arrow buttons ⇒ page 8, fig. 1 .

The unit buttons ⇒ page 8, fig. 1 are also referred to as “function selec-

tion buttons” as they generally open a specific function area and switch to the

corresponding main menu (e.g. the function selection button).

This does not apply to the unit buttons and, if present, or the

selection button. These are used only to play back traffic announcements or

switch traffic announcements on and off.

Function buttons on the screen

Active areas of the screen that call up a certain function are called “function

buttons”. These buttons are operated by briefly pressing the screen or by

pressing and holding. Function buttons are referred to in this manual with the

button symbol and the word “function button”.

Function buttons start functions or open submenus. In submenus the name

of the currently selected menu is displayed in the title bar .

To go back from a submenu, press the function button in the title bar

⇒ page 14, fig. 3 .

If a function button on the screen has a grey background, it is currently disa-

bled (e.g. page 34, fig. 22: ).

Pop-up window

A function button with an arrow in front of it indicates a currently selected

setting (e.g. for ⇒ page 12, fig. 2 ).

If you press the function button, a pop-up window opens, displaying all

the possible setting options. When the desired setting is pressed, the pop-up

window closes and the setting is applied.

Introduction

There are three versions of the Sound System 3.0 ⇒ page 10.

Differences between the unit versions

A key difference in unit version is that, unlike unit versions and , it has

separate function selection buttons and for the FM and AM

frequency bands. Therefore it does not have the function button for

changing frequency band in the RADIO main menu.

If RDS is disabled in the settings on unit version , the function button

in the Radio main menu ⇒ fig. 6 is replaced by the function button.

Additional information:

• Safety notes ⇒ page 6

• Unit overview ⇒ page 8

• Unit versions ⇒ page 10

• Basic information on use ⇒ page 11

• Radio settings ⇒ page 62

Note• Please bear in mind that in car parks, tunnels, areas with high buildings

or mountains the radio signal can be impaired.

• Foil or metal-coated stickers attached to the windows may affect reception

on vehicles with a window aerial.

Function and operation

While the ignition is switched on, all traffic announcements broadcast on the

selected traffic news station will be recorded even when the radio is switched

off.

After the ignition is switched off, traffic announcements broadcast on the

selected traffic news station during the following 65 minutes will be

recorded.

In the settings menu, it is also possible to define two TIM recording times, at

which the unit will start recording traffic announcements ⇒ page 64.

Recording while the vehicle is parked

If the traffic news function is switched on, after the ignition is switched off, a

window opens for a few seconds, in which you can select a traffic news

station for TIM recording and activate or deactivate a TIM recording time.

A different traffic news station will be selected automatically if the reception

of the selected traffic news station deteriorates due to external influences.

The oldest traffic announcement will always be overwritten if the memory is

full. The beginning of a traffic announcement will be overwritten if it is longer

than 8 minutes.

To preserve the battery, no further announcements will be recorded if the

vehicle is not used for longer than three days.

Applies to vehicles: with unit version 2 and integrated DAB radio receiver

Introduction

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a digital broadcasting standard for terres-

trial reception of radio broadcasts.

Additional information:

• Safety notes ⇒ page 6

• Unit overview ⇒ page 8

• Radio mode ⇒ page 16

• TP function (Traffic Programme) ⇒ page 22

CautionThe individual station is responsible for the information and content trans-

mitted in radio text and DAB announcements.

Applies to vehicles: with unit version 2 and integrated DAB radio receiver

Operation

DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III (174 MHz

- 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).

The frequencies of both bands are called “channels” and have an abbrevia-

tion (e.g. 12 A).

Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services

available in a station “ensemble”.

These additional services are used to send additional information to the

radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).

Introduction

“Media sources” are audio sources containing audio files on various different

data media (e.g. CD, memory card, external MP3 player). These audio files

can be played by the radio system from its corresponding drives or audio

input sockets (internal CD changer, memory card slot, AUX-IN multi-media

socket etc.).

Additional information:

• Safety notes ⇒ page 6

• Unit overview ⇒ page 8

• Multimedia interface ⇒ page 44

• External audio sources (AUX, MDI) ⇒ page 41

Media source and audio file requirements

Factory-fitted CD players conform to safety class 1 according to

DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837.

The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs and memory cards with the dimen-

sions 32 mm x 24 mm x 2.1 mm or 1.4 mm.

The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio

files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio

data CD”.

SS3_EN.book Seite 33 Dienstag, 4. Mai 2010 6:00 18

Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers

may lead to problems during playback.

Observe copyright laws!

CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows

Vista® ensure that the correct format is selected.

The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium

due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for

recording. Information can be found on the Internet on the best ways to create

audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).

Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium

containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio

CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data

medium.

Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in a

playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data medium

at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).

MEDIA-IN multi-media interface

Applies to vehicles: MEDIA-IN multi-media interface and AUX-IN multi-media socket.

Introduction

Depending on the model in which it is installed, the MEDIA-IN multimedia

interface is located in the storage compartment on the front passenger side

or in the centre armrest between the front seats.

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 multi-

media interface can be played and controlled via the radio system.

Where this manual refers to external data media, this means USB mass

storage devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players,

iPods® and USB sticks. The external data media are displayed as MEDIA-IN

or MDI (media device interface) on the radio system.

The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of 5 volts.

Additional information:

• Safety notes ⇒ page 6

• Unit overview ⇒ page 8

• Media mode ⇒ page 32

NoteSome vehicles with the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface installed in the centre

armrest or in the storage compartment on the front passenger side are also

equipped with an additional storage compartment. The rubber mat in the

storage compartment can be removed.
