Rotary/push knobs
The left-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ fig. 1 1
is referred to as the volume con-
trol  or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ fig. 1 8
is referred to as the setting
knob.
Unit buttons and function buttons
The system labelled buttons are called “unit buttons”, e.g. SOUND
button
⇒ fig. 1.
There are six unlabelled unit buttons below the screen ⇒ fig. 1 7
. These
are known as “function buttons” because their function depends on the ac-
tive function mode.

RDS* and TP* radio data services (Traffic
Programme) Introduction
RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio data service that provides additional
services such as displaying the station name, automatic station tracking, ra-
dio text and the TP function (Traffic Programme).
RDS is not available for all units, all locations, nor all radio stations. In some
units you can disconnect the RDS function ⇒ page 40.
In general without RDS the RDS radio data services are not available.
To guarantee the best reception in places where RDS is available for the sta-
tions tuned in, select the following system settings ⇒ page 40:
● RDS ON
● ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY ON
● RDS REGIONAL AUTO
Depending on the unit some settings may not be selected.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 6
● Unit overview ⇒ page 8
● Radio mode ⇒ page 12
● System and function settings (SETUP) ⇒ page 40
Note
The stations are responsible for the information that they transmit. Radio data services RDS
Fig. 9 Display of the station name. TP function active.
With RDS the station name can be displayed instead of the frequency
⇒ fig. 9.
Automatic station tracking
With the automatic station tracking the unit always switches to the frequen-
cy that offers the best reception of the current radio station as the vehicle
travels from one area to the next. In some units it is possible to suppress
automatic frequency changing (
ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY OFF)
⇒ page 40.
Radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text

TP traffic news station function (Traffic Programme)
Fig. 10 Traffic news monitoring in Media mode.
The TP (Traffic Programme) function is not available for all versions.
When the radio version does not have the traffic news reception function,
no action is taken when the TP
button is pressed (
TP is not displayed in the
upper left of the screen).
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP ⇒ fig. 9), traffic announce-
ments will interrupt the current Audio mode.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if a traffic news
station is available.
Some stations that do not have their own traffic news support the TP func-
tion by broadcasting traffic announcements from other stations (EON). Traf-
fic announcements broadcast by the linked traffic stations interrupt the cur-
rent Audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the unit button TP
⇒ fig. 1
2.
If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TP
function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK). While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active,
TP is displayed at
the top left of the screen ⇒ fig. 9.
● Press the TP
unit button to switch the TP function off again.
Active TP function and station selection
In FM mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a station
selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TP
function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,
NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station search using the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch ⇒ fig. 1 ⇒  page 13.
During a station search with the  SEEK / ... 
rocker switch or the scan func-
tion (SCAN), the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
If you activate the TP function in areas where TP is not available, it will be-
gin to search for traffic news stations but it will not be able find any. The
search will finish on the last station you were listening to. The TP function
will remain on (display: No TP). We recommend you deactivate the TP func-
tion, otherwise in the next station search with the  SEEK / ... 
rocker switch
no stations will be found.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will always
automatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided the
reception of said station is good. This may take some time depending on
the situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selected traffic news
station is displayed next to TP ⇒ fig. 10.
In units with a DAB radio receiver, depending on the settings, the traffic an-
nouncements from a DAB traffic news station can be played ( DAB TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCEMENT ON ⇒ page 40).
Reception of traffic announcements (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display: TP-INFO) will interrupt the active
Audio mode. 

Audio mode
● If required, the radio is switched to the traffic news station (EON) for the
duration of the traffic announcement.
● The Media mode will be paused and the volume will be adjusted to the
preset level.
● During a traffic announcement, the traffic announcement volume setting
can be adjusted with the volume control . The adjusted setting will be ap-
plied to subsequent announcements.
● Interruption by a traffic announcement can be stopped by pressing the
TP
unit button. The TP function remains active and the next traffic an-
nouncement will again interrupt the current Audio mode. 
