Digital audio broadcasting(not available for CD 300)Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) isan innovative and universalbroadcast system.DAB stations are indicated by theprogramme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.

Navi 600 / Navi 900:

CD 400:

General information■ With DAB, several radio

programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single frequency(ensemble).

■ Besides high-quality digital audioservices, DAB is also able totransmit programme-associateddata and a multitude of other dataservices including travel and trafficinformation.

■ As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if thesignal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

■ There is no fading (weakening ofthe sound) that is typical of AM orFM reception. The DAB signal isreproduced at a constant volume.

■ If the DAB signal is too weak to bepicked up by the receiver, receptionis interrupted completely. Thisincident can be avoided by:Navi 600 / Navi 900: activating Autoensemble linking in the DABsettings menu.

42 Radio

CD 400: activating Auto ensemblelinking and/or Auto linking DAB-FM in the DAB settings menu.

■ Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not occurin connection with DAB.

■ If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings, thereception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerably impairedin such cases.

■ The reception of DAB+ stations ispresently not supported by the DABreceiver.

Configuring DAB

Navi 600 / Navi 900

Press the CONFIG button.Select Radio settings and then DABsettings.The following options are available inthe configuration menu:■ Auto ensemble linking: with this

function activated, the deviceswitches over to the same service(programme) on another DABensemble (frequency, if available)when the DAB signal is too weak tobe picked up by the receiver.

■ Dynamic audio adaption: with thisfunction activated, the dynamicrange of the DAB signal is reduced.That means the level of the loudsounds is reduced, but not the levelof the quiet sounds. Therefore thevolume of the Infotainment systemcan be raised to a point where thequiet sounds are audible, withoutthe loud sounds being too loud.

■ Frequency band: after selection ofthis option the user can definewhich DAB wavebands are to bereceived by the Infotainmentsystem.

General informationThe navigation system will reliablyguide you to your destination withoutthe need to read maps, even if youhave no local knowledge whatsoever.The current traffic situation is takeninto account in the route calculation ifdynamic route guidance is used. Forthis purpose the Infotainment systemreceives traffic announcements in thecurrent reception area via RDS-TMC.The navigation system cannot,however, take into account trafficincidents, traffic regulations changedat short notice and hazards orproblems that arise suddenly (e.g.road works).

Caution

The usage of the navigationsystem does not release the driverfrom the responsibility fora correct, vigilant attitude in roadtraffic. The relevant trafficregulations must always befollowed. If a navigation instructioncontradicts traffic regulations, thetraffic regulations always apply.

Functioning of the navigationsystemThe position and movement of thevehicle are detected by the navigationsystem using sensors. The travelleddistance is determined by thevehicle’s speedometer signal, turningmovements on bends by a gyrosensor. The position is determined bythe GPS satellites (Global PositioningSystem).By comparing the sensor signals withthe digital maps on the map SD card,it is possible to determine the positionwith an accuracy of approx. 10 m.

60 Navigation

The system will also work with poorGPS reception, however, theaccuracy of the determination of theposition will be reduced.After the entry of the destinationaddress or point of interest (nearestpetrol station, hotel, etc.) the route iscalculated from the current location tothe destination selected.The route guidance is provided byvoice output and an arrow, as well aswith the aid of a multi-colour mapdisplay.

TMC traffic information systemand dynamic route guidanceThe TMC traffic information systemreceives all current traffic informationfrom TMC radio stations. If dynamicroute guidance is active, thisinformation is included in thecalculation of the overall route. Duringthis process, the route is planned sothat traffic problems related to pre-selected criteria are avoided.

If there is a traffic problem duringactive route guidance, depending onthe pre-settings, a message appearsas to whether the route should bechanged.TMC traffic information is displayed inthe route guidance display assymbols or as detailed text on theTMC messages menu.To be able to use TMC trafficinformation, the system has to receiveTMC stations in the relevant region.Dynamic route guidance only works iftraffic information is received via theTMC traffic information system.The dynamic route guidance functioncan be deactivated in the Navigationoptions menu, see chapter"Guidance" 3 89.

Map dataAll required map data is stored on anSD card provided with theInfotainment system.Detailed descriptions on map SD cardhandling and replacement, seechapter "Maps" 3 98

■ Imported POIs: favouritedestination addresses that werepreviously stored on a USB driveand then imported to the myPOIsmemory of the Infotainmentsystem.

Advantages of POI export and importThe export and import of points ofinterest data offer you, e.g., thefollowing advantages:■ Define and store your favourite

destination addresses only once,and later use these address data inother cars.See "Exporting and importingindividual POIs and address bookentries" below.

■ Define your favourite destinationaddresses conveniently at home,and later use them in your car.See "Creating and importing userdefined POIs" below.

■ Clearly arrange a large amount ofdestination addresses, e.g.,favourite destination addresses ofother family members ordestination addresses for your next

journey or business trip in separatesubmenus.See "Organizing the POI data inseveral subfolders" below.

Exporting and importing individualPOIs and address book entriesBrief description:1. Connect a USB drive to the USB

Select Start export to store theaddress data of the selected type(s)on the connected USB drive.The address data will be stored ina folder named myPOIs that islocated in the root directory of theUSB drive.For each exported POI category, e.g.Restaurant or Private, you will finda correspondingly named file in thatfolder.Examples:F:\myPOIs\Restaurant_3.poi orF:\myPOIs\Private_1.poi, where F:\ isthe root directory of the USB drive.NoteIf files with POI data of the samecategory are already stored on theUSB drive in the myPOIs folder,these old file versions will beoverwritten by equally named newfile versions.The folder myPOIs and the files withPOI data should not be renamed ormoved into another folder on theUSB drive. Otherwise theInfotainment system will not be ableto import the address data again.

Importing POI data from a USB driveConnect a USB drive with POI datastored on it (details see above) to theUSB port of the Infotainment system,see chapter "USB port" 3 52.To start the import: press theCONFIG button, select Navigationsettings, select Import individualPOIs and then select Continue.All POI data stored on the USB driveis imported to the myPOIs memory ofthe Infotainment system.After the import is finished, theimported POIs are selectable asdestinations via the Enterdestination menu, see chapter"Destination input" 3 71.

Creating and importing user definedPOIsUser defined points of interest needto be defined via GPS coordinatesthat can be taken, e.g., froma topographical map.The GPS coordinates and furtheraddress data need to be entered intotext files, each file representing a POIcategory.

Brief description:1. Create the text files for the POI

data.2. Enter the desired address data

into the text files.3. Store the text files with your POI

data on a USB drive.4. Connect the USB drive to the USB

port of your car's Infotainmentsystem.

5. Download (import) the text fileswith your POI data to theInfotainment system.

After the import, the addresses canbe selected as destinations for routeguidance.Detailed descriptions see below.Creating the text files for POI dataYou can assign your favouritedestination addresses to 20 differentPOI categories, with each POIcategory assigned a number, see"POI categories and assignednumbers" below.For each POI category you need tocreate a separate text file.
