Preliminary remark
This description concerns mainly the audio, CTEL and navigation antenna system for vehicles fitted with
COMAND or radio and navigation unit (MCS).
General
The different antennas are matched in terms of design to their specific reception and transmitting ranges.
A distinction must be made between passive and active antennas:
Passive antennas do not require a voltage supply, they can therefore not directly amplify the radio signal
received.
Active antennas are supplied with voltage. They feature an integrated amplifier.
The voltage can be supplied over separate cables or over the coaxial cables over which the actual signals are
transmitted simultaneously ( phantom feed ) . In this case, no separate leads are required for the power
supply .

A further distinction in terms of the antennas is that certain antennas are used only for receptionwhile others
are used both for reception as well as for transmission .
Function up to 31.08.01
The CTEL and GPS roof antenna (A2/49 ) is supplied with direct voltage via the antenna cable ( phantom
feed ).
It is connected by a coaxial cable to the CTEL and GPS antenna splitter (A2/57) . These two components
ensure reception and transmission of the GSM signals and reception of the GSP signals .
Function as of 01.09.01
The CTEL and GPS roof antenna (A2/49) has the antenna splitter and an antenna amplifier integrated, which
eliminates the need for the CTEL and GPS antenna splitter (A2/57) .
The detailed descriptions of the individual systems and components are given in the reference documents
listed below.

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.
