Fig. 37: Identifying Radio Mode Function
The MCS radio menu is activated by pressing the "RADIO" button on the radio and navigation module
(A2/56) .
Radio reception, function
The rear window antenna (A2/32) receives the high frequency FM and AM signals. The music, voice and/or
data signal is superimposed on these high-frequency carriers. The radio antenna splitter (A2/5) decouples the
AM signals from the heater current in the rear window and relays them to the FM/AM amplifier (A2/18) ,
while the FM signals are transmitted directly from the rear window to the FM/AM amplifier (A2/18) . The
FM/AM amplifier (A2/18) filters the frequencies of the radio frequency bands from the high frequency signals
received and amplifies these signals.
The amplified signals are then transmitted to the radio tuner integrated into the radio and navigation module
(A2/56) by the FM/AM amplifier (A2/18) via a common co-axial line (FM, AM )
The radio receiver demodulates the high-frequency signals, i.e. it separates the useful information (audible
frequencies) from the carrier signal (inaudible).
The demodulated audio signals are amplified and converted into sound signals by the vehicle loudspeakers.
The MCS radio system offers the following possibilities for station selection and adjustment:

SOUND AMPLIFIER, FUNCTION - GF82.62-P-3100-04GH
The data interchange between the sound amplifier (A2/13) and the possible signal sources, e.g.:
Radio (A2) or
COMAND operating, display and control module (A40/3)
is performed via the digital databus (D2B ). Here, both the control information and the signals from the audio
sources (radio, CD, navigation voice command) are sent via the digital databus (D2B ).
Signal processing
In order to make the diverse sound settings possible, the sound amplifier (A2/13) is equipped with a D igital S
ignal P rocessor (DSP ), which performs the entire signal filtering process. In comparison to conventional

analog filters, digital filters contain the following significant advantages:
the filter parameters (sound settings) do not alter throughout the period, this thus means that all the
settings can be repeated exactly
low noise level
the component outlay is significantly reduced, as the filter parameters are set by the software and not by
varying component values (resistances, capacitances or inductance values), thus the number of possible
filter settings is increased
Sound optimizations
Each of the six amplifier channels is equipped with an individual compensation, which can, when requested,
rectify the vehicle's acoustics. In addition further sound optimization settings can be made and effects such as,
e.g. 'voice emphasizing' or 'stereoscopic sound' invoked.
Bass, treble, volume, balance, fader and the dynamic loudness function can be individually set.
Noise suppression
The output level of the six 6 output stages is constantly monitored and regulated such that distortion is kept to a
minimum.
Automatic Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC))
With the aid of the sound amplifier microphone (B25/6) , which is connected directly to the sound amplifier
(A2/13) , the noise level in the vehicle is measured. The volume of the music output signal is constantly adapted
to this noise level. To this end the sound amplifier (A2/13) must be able to detect which of the measured
signals are noise emissions from the moving vehicle and which are audio signals. This is conducted by
comparing the output signal of the sound amplifier (A2/13) with the measured signal.
Put simply, the vehicle noise level is the difference between the two signals.
Diagnosis
The sound amplifier (A2/13) can set up the following messages which are relevant for the diagnosis:
Operating status
Undervoltage
Internal fault in the sound amplifier (A2/13)
The messages are sent over the digital databus ( D2B ) to the COMAND operating, display and control
module (A40/3) or the radio (A2) , and can be read out there over the ( K-wire ) diagnostics line.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Verify customer complaint by operating system. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical
damage. Check generator belt tension and condition. Ensure that battery voltage is within specifications. Inspect
for blown fuses and damaged relays.
Verify ground connection integrity between engine, body, battery and generator. Check for damaged wiring
harnesses and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause
system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure any
aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is found, repair as necessary. If no fault is found,
check for conditions that might cause an intermittent situation.
