Audio mode
24DAB digital radio modeIntroductionSome units also have a DAB radio receiver. DAB is a broadcasting standard
for the overland reception of radio programmes
Additional Information:•Safety notes
’ ⇒ page 6
•Unit overview ⇒page 8•Basic information on use ⇒page 10•Radio mode ⇒page 14Note
The radio station is responsible for the content of the broadcast
information.OperationIn Europe, digital radio has two DAB broadcasting standards, DAB+ and DMB
radio. The digital radio broadcasts on frequencies from waveband III
(174 MHz to 240 MHz) and waveband L (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “ channels”, and are abbreviated
accordingly (for example, 12 A).
In one channel, several DAB stations join together with the additional avail-
able services, forming an “ Ensemble”.
These additional services are used to send additional information to the
radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.). DAB is currently not
available in all areas. When the DAB radio mode is active,
in areas where DAB is not available, the symbol of an aerial crossed out is
displayed.
Depending on the settings, in DAB mode incoming DAB messages are played
(for example, news, sport, weather forecasts, warnings, etc.) ⇒ page 27.
As a general rule, while you are driving the DAB tracking function changes to
the channel of the currently playing digital station with the best reception.
This permits additional settings to be made ⇒page 27.
Note
If the symbol of a crossed-out aerial is displayed “
µ”, this indicates that the
currently playing digital station on the channel selected is no longer available
in this location.
Note
Some digital stations also offer the radio text service. This is activated in
exactly the same way as for a conventional radio station ⇒ page 21.
Note
The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the DAB and DAB+ standards.

Audio mode29
Media modeIntroduction“Media sources ” are audio sources containing audio files on various different
data media (e.g. CD, memory card, exte rnal MP3 player). These audio files
can be played by the radio and navigation system from its corresponding
drives or audio input sockets (internal CD changer, memory card slot, AUX-IN
multimedia socket etc.).
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”.
