Method of operation
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side. Dif-
ferent content is seen depending on your per-
spective when viewing the display.
The "Navi" function, for example, can be used
from the driver's side while a video is watched
from the front-passenger side.
SPLITVIEW is operated with the remote con-
trol from the front-passenger side.
To do so, use the special cordless head-
phones (
Ypage 486). Using the headphones
on the correct sides ensures an optimal
sound.
