Features of your COMAND Online
This Supplement describes all the standard
and optional equipment for your COMAND
Online system, as available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences
are possible. Please note that your
COMAND Online system may not be equip-
ped with all the features described. Radio mode and DAB radio mode
Introduction i
Portable electronic devices in the vehicle
may seriously impair radio and DAB radio
reception.
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is an opti-
mised digital transmission standard designed
for the mobile reception of radio transmis-
sions. Several programmes are combined
into so-called ensembles and transmitted on
a single frequency. Digital radio stations can
be transmitted nationally, regionally or
locally.
Some stations only transmit programmes at
certain times. If you have selected a station
that has subsequently been removed from
the ensemble, it will no longer be received.
You will continue to receive the other pro-
grammes in the ensemble. You will then need
to select a different programme.
i DAB cannot be received everywhere in
Europe.

X Press the $function button.
The radio or DAB radio display appears.
Radio mode: you will hear the last station

DAB radio mode: you will hear the last sta-

i Repeatedly pressing the
$function
button switches between the FM, MW, SW
and LW wavebands in that order. It then
calls up DAB radio mode. Pressing the but- ton again takes you back to FM radio mode. 462

grammes. Every ensemble is transmitted in a
certain area (national, regional or local) in the same way as a traditional AM/FM radio sta-
tion.
Switching to an FM station automati-
cally If the reception of a DAB radio station dete-
riorates, COMAND Online automatically
changes to the corresponding FM station. For
this to happen, the following conditions must be met:

is switched off.
i If you want to use this function, do
not

radio tower with a line through it appears in
the display.

stations that can currently be received and is sorted alphabetically. For stations without a
programme service, the list shows the fre-

ator supports this function. The station list is

Radio Data System (RDS) General notes
The Radio Data System (RDS) provides inaud-
ible additional information in the FM wave-
band. The system consists of a listening
receiver and a monitoring receiver.
The monitoring receiver permanently scans
the FM waveband and collects certain data
from all receivable stations. This includes, for
instance, reception quality and RDS data
such as programme names and alternative
frequencies. COMAND Online stores the data and constantly updates the memory. The
audio receiver is therefore able to switch
automatically to an alternative frequency with
a better signal.
i RDS only functions for stations which
transmit RDS data.
Switching RDS on/off
You can use the Frequency fix (radio mode) or Station fix (DAB mode) functions to prevent
COMAND Online from switching between the
alternative frequencies of a station. This is
useful, for example, when the same content is broadcast with a time delay, or when there is
interference on one of the frequencies.
