22RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEM
AUDIO OPERATION
Radio operation with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS (Radio Data System) is always active for
the radio navigation system.
In addition to their regular programming, an in-
creasing number of radio stations also transmits
RDS information that is picked up and evaluated
by the RDS receiver in coded form.
This information includes the radio station name
and the traffic information status for the radio
station selected.
Alternate frequency
The alternate frequency function ensures that the
system always tunes into the best frequency for
the currently selected radio station.
The radio may briefly switch to mute while sear -
ching for the frequency with the best reception.
If the system is unable to find an alternate fre-
quency for the station selected and it is no lon -
ger possible to pick up this station in satisfactory
quality, please select another station.
Radio operation
TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
In addition to their regular programming, a num -
ber of radio stations also transmits digital traffic
information on the Traffic Message Channel.
These messages are picked up by your naviga -
tion system and can be used for dynamic route
guidance (see Selecting route options , page 48
and Activating the traffic congestion function ,
page 58). If a radio station provides TMC service,
TMC will appear in the status line of the display.
TMC stations can be stored in the TC1 and TC2
memory banks. RDS Regional
Radio stations sometimes divide their pro-
gramming into regional programming at certain
times of the day.
At first, the system will tune into only those
alternative frequencies for the radio station
selected.
However, if the reception quality deteriorates to
the point that the radio might “lose” the station,
the system will also switch to frequencies used
by a "related" NDR 1 station. Because these
radio stations sometimes broadcast different
contents, this might mean that you will hear a
different programme.
Switching to regionally related stations
As a rule, the system will only switch to other
frequencies for the same station with the same
PI code. However, if the reception deteriorates
beyond a certain point, the system will also au-
tomatically switch to a regionally related broad-
casting network.

23RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMAUDIO OPERATION
Use the RDS-Regional function in the
AUDIO
SETUP menu to switch RDS-REG to AUTO or
OFF . For more information, please refer to the
section on AUDIO SETUP, page 14.
AUTO - If you select this setting, the system
will switch to a regionally related transmission
frequency when station reception deteriorates
beyond a certain point.
OFF - You can select a regionally related station
frequency manually. The change will not be made
automatically.Switching on radio operation
To switch the radio on, press one of the following
buttons to activate the corresponding memory
bank or waveband. The radio will automatically
switch to the memory bank used last and begin to
play the last radio station heard, if it is still within
reception range.
FM in 2 memory banks (FM1 and FM2)
• To switch FM radio on, press FM .
TMC stations (Traffic Message Channel) in
memory banks 1 and 2 (TC1 and TC2). With
TMC your radio also receives the traffic infor-
mation required by the navigation system for
dynamic route calculation.
• Press TMC .
AM in 2 memory banks (AM1 and AM2).
• Press AM .
Note: If you switch from FM to TMC or vice
versa, the radio station you have tuned into
in the selected memory bank will be “taken
along”.

Traffic station reception
Many FM stations transmit regular traffic infor-
mation for their reception areas.
Stations that broadcast traffic information also
transmit a signal that is evaluated by your RNS.
After you select a radio station, the system will
check to see whether or not it broadcasts traffic
information.
If the radio station you have selected broadcasts
traffic information, TP (Traffic Program) will
appear in the status line of the radio menu.
Notes: If you leave the station reception
area, you will have to tune into a new TP
radio station.
If you are listening to an audio CD when you
leave the station’s reception area, the system
will automatically start seek tuning to find an-
other TP station.

27RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMAUDIO OPERATION
Listening to traffic messages
If your radio navigation system has been set to
traffic information standby, the traffic messages
will interrupt other programming, i.e. CD playback
will be interrupted and you will hear the traffic
message.
Note: Traffic information standby will not
be active unless the TA function has been
switched on in the AUDIO SETUP menu (see
page 15).
At the same time, the message will be stored
in the Traffic Info Memo (TIM). Once the traffic
message has ended, the system will switch back
to the previous audio source.
The traffic announcement is emitted at a pre
-
-set minimum volume: TA-MIN. This volume
can be set in the VOLUME SETUP menu, see
page 16.
You can also turn the left-hand rotary/push button
knob
at any time during the announcement to alter the volume.
Interrupting a traffic announcement
• Press FM briefly during the announcement to interrupt it. Traffic information standby will
remain in effect for any following traffic an -
nouncements.

Traffic Information Memo (TIM)
Your radio navigation system is able to record
traffic information for a period of time from 2
to 24 hours. Up to nine messages with a total
recording time of four minutes will be recorded
automatically.
When the system is in operation, traffic infor-
mation from TP stations is always recorded, even
if the FM button has been pressed to interrupt the
message. The actual recording of the message
will only be interrupted if you have tuned into an
EON station, such as “NDR 4”.
If the system has been switched off, traffic infor-
mation will still be recorded if the TIM function
has been activated. Activating TIM standby for 24 hours

• Once you have switched the system off and
removed the ignition key from the ignition,
press down and hold TIM
for one sec-ond.
Note: 24-hour TIM standby results in in -
creased current consumption over 24 hours.
This can lead to problems with the battery
voltage (excessive battery discharge) if the
vehicle is only driven on short journeys. In
this case, 24-hour TIM standby should not
be activated.
