Radio mode

RDS

Many FM stations broadcast an RDS (Radio Data System) signal in addition to their programme in the reception area "EUROPE" that allows the following additional functions:

• The station name is shown on the display. - The car sound system recognises traffic announcements and news broadcasts and can automatically switch them through in other operating modes (e.g. in USB mode). - Alternate frequency: If RDS is activated, the car sound system automatically selects the best receivable frequency for the station that is currently set. - Regional: At certain times, some radio stations divide their programme into regional programmes providing different content. If the REGIONAL function is activated, the car sound system changes only to those alternate frequencies on which the same regional programme is being broadcast.

The functions RDS and REGIONAL are activated and deactivated in the user menu (see the chapter "User settings", section "Making settings in the "FM TUNER" menu", menu items "RDS AF" and "REGIONAL").

• If the tuned radio station or another station on the broadcasting network broadcasts your selected programme type at a later point in time, the car sound system will automatically switch from the currently tuned station or from the current audio source (e.g. CD) to the station whose programme type matches the one you selected. Note that this function is not supported by all stations.

Traffic information

In the reception area "EUROPE", an FM station can identify traffic reports by means of an RDS signal. If priority for traffic reports is switched on, a traffic report is automatically switched through, even if the car sound system is currently not in FM radio mode.

If priority is switched on, the display shows the traffic jam symbol (2). "TRAFFIC" is displayed during a switched-through traffic announcement.

The priority is activated and deactivated in the user menu (see the chapter "User settings", section "Making settings in the "FM TUNER" menu", menu item "TRAFFIC").

Bluetooth®

You can connect the car sound system via Bluetooth® with other Bluetooth®-ready devices, such as cell phones. This allows you to use the car sound system with its integrated microphone as hands-free system for connected cell phones and control the audio output of other Bluetooth® devices and play them back via the loudspeakers of the car sound system (Bluetooth® streaming).

Note:

You can also connect an external microphone for hands-free calling (see the chapter "Installation instructions").

Bluetooth® technology is a wireless connection of short range. For this reason, Bluetooth® devices must be located near the car sound system (in the vehicle) to establish and maintain a connection.

To establish a Bluetooth® connection, you must first pair the car sound system and the Bluetooth® device. When you pair the devices, a Bluetooth® connection is subsequently established automatically. This connection remains in effect as long as the Bluetooth® device is within range. If the connection is interrupted, e.g. because you moved the cell phone outside the range, the connection is automatically re-established as soon as you are back within range.

Only one Bluetooth® device can be connected with the car sound system. If you connect a new device with the car sound system, the connection to a currently connected device is automatically interrupted. However, the car sound system leaves up to 5 different Bluetooth® devices paired, and you can quickly and easily connect any of these devices with the car sound system again.

- In the menu, you can press the button < ⑦ in each case to return to the higher menu level.

- If a Bluetooth® process is running (e.g. re-establishing the connection to the last connected device), the functions of the Bluetooth® menu are blocked. If you attempt to open the Bluetooth® menu during this time, "LINK BUSY" briefly appears on the display. If you want to cancel the Bluetooth® process and open the Bluetooth® menu, press the 5 button 13.

Pairing and connecting a Bluetooth® device

Notes:

- You can pair up to 5 Bluetooth® devices with this car sound system. Before you can pair another device, you must first unpair one of the already paired devices (see the chapter "Additional functions in the Bluetooth® menu", section "Managing paired devices"). If you should attempt to pair a fifth Bluetooth® device, "PHONE LIST FULL – PLEASE DELETE ENTRIES FROM LIST" is displayed.

- If a connection with a Bluetooth® device currently exists, this connection is automatically disconnected if you pair and connect another device.

In the Bluetooth® menu, select the "PAIRING" menu item.
