Radio data system Radio data system (RDS) is a service
of FM stations that considerably
facilitates the finding of the desired
station and its fault-free reception.
Advantages of RDS ● On the display, the programme name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
● During a station search, the Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.● The Infotainment system always
tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set station by means of AF
(alternative frequency).
● Depending on the station that is received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain e.g. information on
the current programme.
RDS configuration To use the RDS functions, RDS has
to be activated.
Activate the FM waveband. Select
Menu to open the corresponding
waveband-specific submenu and
then select the Audio settings tab.

Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB)
broadcasts radio stations digitally.DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information ● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcast on a single ensemble.
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data services including travel and
traffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This incident can be
avoided by activating DAB to
DAB linking and / or DAB to FMlinking in the DAB menu (see
below).
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM and FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the FM stations with
the best reception. If TP 3 122 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TP if DAB reception should not
be interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.

124Infotainment systemDAB announcements
Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
Activate the DAB waveband. Select Menu to open the corresponding
waveband-specific submenu and
then select the Audio settings tab.
Select DAB announcements to
display a list of the categories
available.
Activate all or just the desired
announcement categories. Different
announcement categories can be
selected at the same time.
DAB to DAB linking If this function is activated, the device switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (if available) when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up by
the receiver.
Select Menu to open the
corresponding waveband-specific
submenu and then select the Audio
settings tab.
Activate or deactivate DAB to DAB
linking .
DAB to FM linking If this function is activated, the device switches over to a corresponding FM
station of the active DAB service (if
available) when the DAB signal is too
weak to be picked up by the receiver.Select Menu to open the
corresponding waveband-specific
submenu and then select the Audio
settings tab.
Activate or deactivate DAB to FM
linking .
L band
With this function, you may define
which DAB wavebands are received
by the Infotainment system.
L band (earth and satellite radio) is an

Emergency call9 Warning
Connection setup cannot be
guaranteed in all situations. For
this reason you should not rely
exclusively on a mobile phone

communication (e.g. a medical
emergency) is concerned.
In some networks it may be
necessary for a valid SIM card to
be properly inserted in the mobile
phone.
9 Warning
Bear in mind that you can make
and receive calls with the mobile
phone if it is in a service area with a sufficiently strong signal. Under
