DYNAMIC ROUTE GUIDANCE, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-4003QA
MODEL 163, 168, 170, 203.0 /2 /7, 208, 209.3 /4, 210 with CODE (353) Audio 30 APS
The current traffic situation is taken into consideration in the dynamic route guidance. The COMAND
navigation system Audio 30 APS can receive information on the traffic situation either by the Traffic Center
Service (TCS) or the Traffic Message Channel (TMC).
The services from the Traffic Center Service (TCS) are offered by an external provider and an application is
to be sent to the provider for use.
Traffic messages via Traffic Center Service (TCS)
The latest traffic situation information is transmitted by a service provider for a fee in the form of an SMS (short
message service) signal via the CTEL D network. The traffic data are only transmitted when the service
provider receives a corresponding request from the vehicle.
The request can be sent either:
Cyclically, every 15 minutes
Once
In order to reduce the data volume the current location of the vehicle is automatically sent to the D network
center when the information request is posted.
The service provider then transmits only traffic messages at within a radius of approx. 75 km of the vehicle. The
telephone system of the vehicle receives the traffic announcements and transmits them via the D2B to the traffic
data recorder that is integrated in the radio (A2).
It is possible to use the telephone during TCS data interchange.
Traffic messages via Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
Information on the current traffic situation is transmitted by a specially equipped radio-broadcast station aimed
at specific areas and coded (toll) or uncoded (toll free) via VHF. For this purpose an appropriate FM/ RDS
station must be tuned in.
The radio (A2) receives the traffic announcements and transmits them to the traffic data recorder. Since no
communication is accomplished between the vehicle and broadcasting corporation with TMC messages, the
traffic data recorder selects the traffic messa
ges related to the route on which the vehicle is presently driving as

well as the surrounding area.
Traffic information analysis
In both cases (TCS or TMC) the traffic data recorder decodes the traffic information and forwards it when
requested to the navigation computer. The navigation processor makes the decision whether the route should be
changed. If necessary, a message that the route should be changed is output via the vehicle speaker.
For synchronization purposes the traffic data recorder needs a list from the navigation processor, in which each
stretch and each striking feature (e.g., freeway exit) of the recorded street network is clearly defined with the aid
of a number. The list is originally stored on DVD. If required (e.g. changing the DVD) it is automatically
loaded into the traffic data recorder. The traffic information stored in the traffic data recorder is erased
automatically after 0.5 hrs., max. 100 messages can be stored.
The decoded traffic messages are marked on the map using suitable symbols. They can also be displayed as
clear text. To this end the "alternate route" button should be pressed and the "TRAFFIC INFO" menu activated.

Processing key signals
The controls on the radio (A2) are read in via I/O ports of the microcontroller and made available to the central
computer. Depending on the system function the button operations are processed further in the central computer
or conveyed via the Digital Data Bus (D2B) or interior CAN (CAN B) in the form of a data telegram to the
system components involved (e.g. CD changer).

The display of the radios (A2) has 197 x 32 pixels. Texts are displayed in 3 lines.
After particular functions are called (e.g. navigation), the bottom line shows a variable inscription for the row of
buttons underneath (multifunction buttons). As a result the system can be operated very conveniently with a few
buttons, as the function which is activated when the button is operated, is shown in plain text (e.g. LANG,
ITEM, DYN, CLOCK etc.).
Audio signal output
The audio signals of the various sources (CD, voice output for navigation etc.) are processed by the radio (A2)
and amplified before output by the vehicle speakers.
On models 168, 170, 208 and 210 with the sound system (code 810) the audio signals are finally amplified
by the amplifier for the sound system (N40/3). For this, the audio source data (low-frequency signals) are
transmitted to the amplifier for the sound system (N40/3) via separate lines.
On models 163 and 209 the final amplification of the audio signal is performed by the sound amplifier
(A2/13). All the data are transmitted via the D2B.
Audio mute
An incoming phone call activates the audio mute function (a separate signal input exists on the radio (A2) for
this). When the audio mute function is activated, the current audio source (e.g. radio) is muted automatically.
Navigation processor, GPS control module and gyrosensor
The navigation processor is the central component of the navigation system.
It is integrated into the radio (A2) and from the incoming signals continuously calculates the location and once
the destination is entered calculates the route for navigation. The GPS receiver is integrated into the navigation
processor. It evaluates the satellite signals and calculates from them the vehicle position in degrees longitude
and latitude. Various GPS antennae are used to receive these signals depending on the vehicle model:
Model 163: telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49)
Models 168, 208.3, 210: GPS antenna (A2/49a2)
Models 170, 208.4: GPS rear antenna (A2/23a2)
Model 209: GPS antenna (A2/23)
Reception from at least 3 satellites is necessary for exact GPS position calculation. A free view of the sky is
required for this purpose.
The integrated gyrosensor continuously senses every change in direction of the vehicle. Evaluation of this data
is accomplished by the navigation processor.
Calibration of the gyrosensor is not required.

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.
