Starting Radio mode
● Press the RADIO
unit button.
The station you are currently listening to is shown in the middle of the

RDS (Radio Data System)
With stations that are RDS-compatible, the station name will be displayed
instead of the frequency, provided reception is good enough (here: RADIO

Audio mode
Text information, known as radio text, can also be broadcast. It is possible
to adjust the display to show radio text ⇒ page 35. Radio text will then be
shown instead of the station name. Not all stations support radio text. The
individual radio station is responsible for the texts displayed.
RDS also allows automatic station tracking. This means that the unit always
switches to the frequency that offers the best reception of the current radio
station as the vehicle travels from one area to the next. It is possible to sup-
press automatic frequency changing ( ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY OFF)
⇒  page 35.
On some units it is possible to switch off the RDS function for travel in areas
where RDS is not used ⇒ page 35. 

Media mode
Introduction
Media sources are audio sources containing audio files on various different
data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be played
by the radio system from its corresponding players or audio input sockets
(internal CD player , external CD changer, AUX-IN multimedia socket).

● Settings menus ⇒ page 34 
Media source and audio file requirements
Factory-fitted CD players conform to safety class 1 according to
DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837.
The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs.
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as audio
files. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an audio
data CD.

48 and 320 kbit/s or with variable bit rate.
WMA files (.wma) up to 9.0 without copy protec-
tion.

Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage
may render a data medium unusable. Observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista ®
ensure that the correct format is selected. 

19
Audio mode
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Information can be found on the Internet on the best ways to cre-
ate audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a normal audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data me-
dium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in
a playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data me-
dium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths). Playing order for audio data CDs
Fig. 11 Example of an
MP3 CD structure.
Audio files  on data media are often organised by means of folders  and
playlists  to determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order. 
