Digital Data Bus (D2B)
The Digital Data Bus (D2B) is a data transmission system for the communication and information components,
which utilizes the optical data transfer options. Data transfer is conducted by means of optical pulses, which are
transferred over fiber optical cables to the connected communication and information components. Audio and
command signals are converted in the source components into optical pulses and transmitted via fiber optical
cables. The optical signal is converted back to an electronic signal in the target component. Because of the high
transfer rate, the Digital Data Bus (D2B) can transfer audio and command signals simultaneously. Simultaneous
transfer of source data and command data over the Digital Data Bus (D2B) significantly reduces the amount of
cabling. The connected components require 2 lines for the voltage supply (electrical) and 2 lines (input/output)
for the fiber optical cable of the Digital Data Bus (D2B) and one line for the wake-up signal (electrical).
In addition to this the fiber optical cable can transfer several pieces of source data simultaneously (e.g. music
and voice from 2 components), without compromising the data content.

player with changer (in the trunk) (A2/6), for vehicles with code (819) 6-disc CD changer, are then sent over the
Digital Data Bus(D2B) as source data to the Sound amplifier (A2/13), or for vehicles with code (810) to the
sound system. The target components, the Sound amplifier (A2/13), or for vehicles with code (810) the sound
system, the source data are then converted back to electrical signals and reproduced as sound.
Data transfer using fiber optic cables has the following advantages:
 Extremely high data transmission rate

 Prevents tapping and crosstalk
 Insensitive to electromagnetic radiation
 Short-circuit resistance
 Zero potential connection of components
 No oxidation
 Low weight of fiber optical cable
 Minimum diameter of wiring harness
The digital data bus (D2B) has a closed ring structure. The communication and data components are arranged
here in a distributor line (in-series circuit). This arrangement is type specific and is illustrated by way of an
example on model 220 as follows:
 Radio (A2)
 CD player with changer (in trunk) (A2/6), with code (819) 6-disc CD changer
 Sound amplifier (A2/13), with code (810) Sound System
 Voice control system control unit (A35/11), with code (813) voice control system (VCS)
 Telephone and TELE AID transmitter/receiver, D2B (A35/17), with code (855) TELE AID
Data transfer is conducted here in one direction only, i.e. the optical pulses for the voice control system control
unit (A35/11), for vehicles with code (813) voice control system (VCS), on model 220 pass through all
components connected to the ring, before arriving at the target components.
When the system is first put into operation, a system test is performed. In doing so the individual components
and their sequence in the ring structure of the Digital Data Bus (D2B) are registered by the component with the
master function.
A type-specific sequence is stored ex-factory. In turn, the storing of a sequence ex-factory means: if the radio
(A2) is taken from one model series and installed into another one, then during a system test the different
sequence of the components and an error message are filed in the diagnostic trouble code memory.
An error message is also filed if the radio (A2) is exchanged within a model series with different equipment
components. The system goes to the operational state regardless of the error message. STAR DIAGNOSIS
enables the sequence of the components to be subsequently altered in the Digital Data Bus (D2B).
The Digital Data Bus (D2B) is diagnosis capable via the data link connector (X11/4), except for models
129 and 202.

The operating principle of the Digital Data Bus (D2B) is the same for all model series; all that changes
is the sequence of components depending on the national version and equipment specification.

DATA TRANSFER, FUNCTION - GF82.00-P-2000A
The Digital Data Bus (D2B) contains the master unit, e.g. the radio (A2) except for model 129, and model 202,
which triggers all the components in the Digital Data Bus system (D2B). The master unit also serves as an
interface (Gateway) to the CAN interior (CAN-B). For this purpose, signals arriving at the master unit are
converted so that they can be transmitted from the Digital Data Bus (D2B) to the CAN interior (CAN B) and
vice versa. Moreover, the master unit serves as a timing circuit which provides the clock pulse with which the
information frames are transferred on the Digital Data Bus (D2B). A frame consists of 2 subframes. A series of
many data frames contains the complete information for proper operation of the components located at the
Digital Data Bus (D2B). The conversion of optical pulses into electrical signals and vice versa is done by
transmitter and receiver diodes, that are integrated into each component. Each of the components receives or
transmits the electrical signals from the chip of the Digital Data Bus system (D2B) as a "D2B log". Source data
and control data are transmitted.
The source data are transferred synchronously, for example as present on a music CD, as 32 bit blocks into the
subframes. By contrast, control data are transferred asynchronously. They are divided up (2 bits per subframe)
and distributed over several subframes. The control data are provided with an address, which indicates for
which components the data are intended in the Digital Data Bus (D2B). The individual data packages are joined
together again in the components and they can then be processed. A data frame can therefore contain highly
differing types of information (source and control data from all components mounted in the digital data bus
(D2B)). The transmission and reception diodes as well as the digital data bus (D2B) chip are switched off when
not required in order to reduce the quiescent current (sleep mode). Switch-off is accomplished immediately
when the master unit or circuit 15 is switched off. After restart, the digital data bus system (D2B) can be
activated either by the components or by the master unit by means of an electrical signal in the wake-up line for
optical data transmission.
Regardless whether the information is intended for a component, it feeds an edited light signal back into the
Microsoft
digital data bus (D2B) at full intensity (repeater function).
Wake-up, function GF82.00-P-2001A
WAKE-UP, FUNCTION - GF82.00-P-2001A
Normal wake-up
Since the transmitting and receiving diodes along with the digital data bus system's (D2B) chip are
automatically shut off if they are not needed (sleep mode), a wake-up pulse, which activates the system, is
required to start a new data transfer. This is accomplished via the separate wake-up line. For this purpose, the
master unit actuates the wake-up signal (electrical signal), which allows the voltage in the wake-up line to
decrease to a defined value. The chip of the digital data bus system (D2B) in the components recognizes on
account of the duration of the signal that this is a wake-up signal, and the digital data bus (D2B) is then
activated. Therefore the digital data bus (D2B) is then in an activated state. A "wake-up" can take place in a
quiescent system (sleep mode) even without the wake-up pulse of the master unit by activation of a component
located at the digital data bus (D2B).
Wake-up diagnosis
For diagnosis of the wake-up circuit in the components, the master unit can trigger a wake-up diagnosis signal
using STAR DIAGNOSIS and the data link connector (X11/4). This signal differs from the wake-up signal by
the fact that it has a significantly longer duration. The components react to this long wake-up pulse with a signal
on the wake-up line (message to master unit). This allows the master unit to recognize which components have
received the long wake-up pulse. The wake-up diagnosis signal can only be actuated when the digital data bus
(D2B) cannot be activated due to an error. If all components reply to the master unit, then their voltage supply is
correct.

Fiber optic cable, function - GF82.00-P-4000-04A
The fiber optical cable consists of plastic with a fiber diameter of 1 mm. Each fiber optical cable is protected
against mechanical damage and against admission of outside light with the help of an orange-colored insulation.
The light for the data transfer in the digital data bus (D2B) has a wavelength of 650 nm; by comparison, visible
light lies in the range of blue with 400 nm to red with 800 nm. Optical attenuation of the light signal can occur
in the fiber optic cable. Attenuation of the optical signal in the fiber optical cable is dependent on:
 the length of the line between the individual components

 the bending radii when routing the fiber optical cable, which must have min. bending radius = 25 mm
 the condition of the insulation of the fiber optical cable
 A passive connector; this is used when a component is removed from the digital data bus (D2B) due to a
fault.
To ensure the functional availability of the remaining components, the digital data bus (D2B) is closed again
using a passive connector. The fiber optical cable has two different connection ends:
 The fiber optical cable input, which is the output to each control unit. This is marked in "white".
 The fiber optical cable output, which is the input to each control unit. This is marked in "red".

HEADLAMP RANGE ADJUSTMENT (HRA) FUNCTION - GF82.10-P-0001AA
MODEL 129, 170, 202, 210 except CODE (491) US version with pneumatic headlamp range adjustment
The headlamp range adjustment for the vehicle headlamps is accomplished by vacuum-controlled actuators.
Each headlamp unit is equipped with an actuator. The actuator is connected to a pivoting reflector by a pull rod.
The maximum stroke of an actuator is 3.0c0.2 mm.
Model 202
Since the fog lamp is integrated into the headlamp range control the headlamp range moves the common
reflector thereby adjusting the fog lamp in addition to the low and high beams.
Models 170, 202, 210
The control switch installed on the right next to the exterior lamp switch S1 is connected to the actuators in the
headlamp units via a pneumatic line for each actuator. A third pneumatic line supplies the control switch with
vacuum from the intake manifold. If a number of vacuum loads are present the vacuum may also be supplied
using an additional vacuum valve block installed in the right component compartment.
Model 129
The pneumatic lines are connected on the control switch using quick connectors. The control switch located on
the left next to the exterior lamp switch is supplied with vacuum from the intake manifold via the vacuum valve
block.
The control switch is equipped with a shut-off valve to protect against unintentional adjustment of the reflectors
in the event of vacuum drop.
The control switch has three control stages in addition to the basic position 0. In the basic position 0 maximum
vacuum is present on the actuators. In control stages 1, 2 and 3 the vacuum at the actuators is reduced, this
increases the stroke and the reflectors are inclined downward from the basic position.

Fig. 4: Interior Lighting, Function Diagram
The switch signal from the door switches (S17/3, S17/4) or trunk lid rotary tumbler/trunk lamp toggle switch
(S69/12) travels from the PSE control module (A37) via the CAN data bus to the multi-function control module
(N10-3). This latter switches on the front dome lamp (E15/1). When the vehicle is opened with the infrared
remote control the multifunction control module (N10-3) receives a signal from the IR DAS control module
(N54/1) and switches on the front dome lamp (E15/1). After closing the doors and trunk lid the multi-function
control module (N10-3) switches off the front dome lamp after a delay of approx. 10 s. Switch-off is
accomplished immediately after "circuit 15 ON".
The front dome lamp (E15/1) is switched on and off with a soft dimming feature.
After it has been switched on for 5 min. the multi-function control module (N10-3) switches the lamp off when
one of the doors is open and the switch is in the position "door switch ON".
If the signal "ATA alarm ON" is received by the PSE control module (A37), the front dome lamp (E15/1)
Microsoft
switches on when the door contact switch in the front dome lamp (E15/1) is in the "ON" position.
The trunk lamp (E18/1) is connected in parallel to the front dome lamp (E15/1). This means that the trunk lamp
(E18/1) comes on when one of the doors is opened as well as that the front dome lamp (E15/1) comes on when
the trunk is opened.

The ultra-short wave (FM), medium wave (MW) and long wave (LW) high-frequency signals are received from
the radio antenna mounted on the vehicle. The music, voice and/or data signals are modulated upon the high-
frequency signals received. The high-frequency signals are forwarded by the radio antenna over a coaxial cable
to the radio receiver in the radio and navigation unit (A2/56). The radio receiver demodulates the high-
frequency signals, i.e. it separates the useful information from the high-frequency carrier signal. The
demodulated audio signals are amplified and converted to sound signals by the vehicle speakers. Possibilities
for radio station selection:
 Direct frequency input

 Manual station search
 Automatic station search (the stations on a waveband are played for approx. 8 s)
 Station selection from the memory (6 stations for each frequency range)
Radio Data System (RDS), function
Many radio stations, e.g. (FM) transmit in addition to the program additional information such as the station
name, type of program (e.g. pop, culture, etc.), traffic station identification and alarm messages. This
Microsoft
information is evaluated and shown on the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) display, provided that:
 the "RDS" function is switched on

 an RDS station is set and received.
When an RDS station is received with a traffic broadcast in the background the abbreviation "TP" (Traffic
Program) appears on the radio and navigation unit display (A2/56).
Even when the RDS function is deactivated, the traffic station recognition and station following function remain
in operation (if activated). RDS alarm messages are still issued. In this case, CD playback or radio reception is
automatically interrupted.
2-tuner technology function
If interference occurs to reception while driving, the system attempts to receive the selected station on an
alternative frequency with the aid of the second (integrated) receiver and switch over when reception is better.
Moreover, the second radio receiver automatically generates a list of the receivable FM stations after switch-on,
and this list is continuously updated during operation. The stations contained in the list can be called up sorted
in alphabetical order with the station search buttons.
The station list is only available when the "RDS" function is activated.
At certain times, some radio channel programs are subdivided into regional programs.
Since the system automatically switches to an alternative frequency in the event of reception interference, this
can lead to a change in the regional program (not the radio network). If this is not desired, the regional program
function can be activated in the menu "REG". Switchover to an alternative frequency is then accomplished only
within the regional program.
FM antenna diversity function (models 209.3/4)
The antenna diversity function undertakes a reception-specific switchover between the FM antennas on the rear
window for model 209.3 (FM antennas of windshield for model 209.4). The function runs automatically and is
executed by the window antenna amplifier module 1 (A2/71) for model 209.3 (left antenna amplifier module
(A2/64) for model 209.4).
The radio tuner of the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) only generates the intermediate frequency (ZF) signal,
which serves as a reference to change the FM antenna for the window antenna amplifier module 1 (A2/71) on
model 209.3 (for model 209.4 left antenna amplifier module (A2/64)).
RDS Diversity/2-receiver technology function
The system consists of 2 FM receivers, a radio receiver and a search receiver. After turning on the radio system,
the search receiver automatically generates a list of FM stations received, which is continually updated during
operation.
Data such as reception quality, programs and alternative frequencies are stored. The audio receiver can therefore
Microsoft
switch over inaudibly to an alternative frequency. The list appears in alphabetical order when the "FM station
list" is called up. The stations which are displayed can be activated by selecting and confirming.

Activating anti-theft alarm
During initial operation of the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) it is necessary to activate the anti-theft
alarm with the aid of the hand-held tester.
After activation has been accomplished, deactivation is no longer possible.

Microsoft
Only after activation is it necessary to enter a 5-digit code after interruption of the power supply. When entering
the code observe:
 After the code has been entered incorrectly three times the message "Wait" appears. The radio and
navigation unit (A2/56) is then disabled for ten minutes. ?
 Following the next three incorrect entries operation is not possible for ten minutes again. ?
 Then after an additional 3 incorrect entries the unit is disabled for 1 hour in each case.
The waiting time expires only with the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) switched on.
Inserting and ejecting CD
CDs can be inserted and ejected (audio or navigation CD) in all operating states. After pressing the "eject
button" a CD already inserted is ejected by a motor. If the CD is not removed within approx. 14 seconds, it is
pulled back in automatically.
After inserting a CD it is necessary to push it a slight distance into the CD opening; it is then pulled in the rest
of the way automatically.
When a navigation CD is inserted the menu for entering destination is activated automatically.
However, this applies only when the system has previously requested that the navigation CD be inserted.
The eject button for the CD drive also functions when the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) is in the
"code wait state". This means that a CD can be removed in spite of the request to enter the anti-theft code.

LOADING LANGUAGE, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-3003B
Microsoft
Function
The data for navigation voice output is stored originally on the navigation DVD. They are transmitted with the
help of the DVD drive of the radio (A2) into the memory of the navigation processor and are then available
anytime for navigation.
The language is reloaded in the following cases:
 automatically, after voltage to the radio (A2) was interrupted

 manually, by activating the "SPRA" menu in the navigation mode
Loading the language requires approx. 20 s.
If the system is switched off while loading the language, the language data is lost and must be reloaded again.
Avoid strong vibrations to the vehicle (e.g. extremely bumpy roads) while the language is being loaded.
The navigation processor is integrated in the radio (A2).
BASIC LOCATION FINDING, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-3006D
Basic representation of the basic location finding shown on model 210
Fig. 19: Basic Location Finding Function - Shown On Model 210
Basic location finding (dead reckoning) is the basic function of continuous location finding. It is permanently
carried out by the navigation processor that is integrated in the radio (A2) when the ignition is switched on
(approx. once per second) and is irrespective of the data of the DVD map. After switching off the ignition, the
current position is stored for the duration of the system shut-off delay time.
The following information is calculated with the aid of basic location finding:
Microsoft
 Distance traveled
 Absolute vehicle direction (compass direction)
 Direction of travel (forward or reverse)
Calculation of distance traveled
The navigation processor receives the wheel speed signal of the following components:
 Left rear rpm sensor (L6/3) (model 168)

 Wheel speed sensor, left front (L6/1)
 Right front rpm sensor (L6/2) (model 208, 210)
 Left front rpm sensor (L6/1) and right front rpm sensor (L6/2) (models 203, 209)
The evaluation of the wheel speed signals reveals the mileage covered.
The wheel speed signals of the not driven wheels are evaluated, since their slip between the roadway
and tire is lower, which results in a more accurate result when calculating the mileage.
Calculation of the vehicle orientation
The navigation computer calculates the direction in which the vehicle is traveling (compass direction) from the
data from the gyrosensor and the sequence of locations calculated with the aid of the global positioning system
(GPS). The difference in the calculated mileage and the mileage actually covered between 2 turn-off points is
used to automatically recalibrate the tire circumference (necessary due to tire wear).
Calculation of the direction of motion
The navigation processor recognizes the direction of motion (forward or reverse) from the reverse signal.
Calibration of tire circumference
As a matter of principle, the navigation system recalibrates itself while driving as described. However, this may
require driving a longer distance. After changing tires, manual recalibration should therefore be accomplished.
To do this, it is necessary to enter the tire size (e.g.:195/050/015) and possibly the following information:
 new tires (tread depth > approx. 5 mm)

 used tires (tread depth < approx. 5 mm)
The entry can be done two different ways:
 With aid of STAR DIAGNOSIS.

 By calling the "Navigation --> TIRE" menu at the radio (A2)
Errors due to vehicle movement with switched off ignition lead to an inaccurate basic location finding.
Microsoft
Rolling backwards without the reverse gear engaged is evaluated as forwards motion, and may lead to an error
in the location finding. Rolling with the ignition switched off or vehicle transportation also falsify map
matching.
The errors are, however, corrected automatically after a short time by the navigation processor after
receiving GPS data.
A special calibration drive by driving around a defined test path is not ever required.

GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM LOCATION FINDING, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-3007C
Basic representation of the GPS location finding shown on model 210
Fig. 20: Global Positioning System Location Finding - Shown On Model 210
General information
The global positioning system (GPS) is a location finding system established by the US Defense Department
and is satellite supported. It is toll-free and is available throughout the world. A lot of satellites are located on
different orbits. The GPS satellites constantly transmit time and position data. If data from at least 3 satellites is
received it is possible to calculate the position of the receiver.
GPS position finding is irreplaceable for journeys outside the digitized map area and after vehicle transport (e.g.
train or ferry journeys and towing). A new GPS location finding (after interruption of satellite reception) can
last several minutes (up to 20 minutes when first commissioning the equipment).
Function
The navigation processor that is integrated in the radio (A2) calculates the location of the vehicle and the
accuracy of positioning from the satellite signals received and amplified.
Microsoft
The following components can receive satellite data:
 Telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49) (model 163)

 GPS antenna (A2/49a2) (model 168, 208.3, 210)
 GPS rear antenna (A2/23a2) (model 170, 208.4)
 GPS antenna (A2/23) (model 203, 209)
The actual calculation is essentially based on the measurement of the travel times of the signals sent
synchronously by the various satellites. Here, an important prerequisite is that the satellite and receiver clocks
are synchronized.
For this purpose, the receiver has an automatic time correction feature which again is possible with the aid of
the satellite signals.
If the navigation processor determines that the basic location finding is less accurate than the GPS location
finding, the position currently calculated is corrected using GPS data.
In addition, the vehicle's course of travel is determined with the aid of the sequence of the locations calculated
with GPS.
Possible interference when receiving GPS signals
Since GPS operates in the GHz range (microwaves) and the signals are weak, reception interference can occur
as the result of:
 atmospheric interference,
e.g. weather, water vapor, fog
 multiple reception resulting from reflecting of signals,
e.g. from building walls
 Signal shadows,
e.g., in built-up areas, tunnel, in the proximity of higher buildings and trees
GPS reception therefore necessitates a clear view of the sky. The location finding accuracy of the GPS system is
100 m or better.

MAP-SUPPORTED LOCATION FINDING, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-3008C
Basic representation of the map-supported location finding shown on model 210
Fig. 21: Map-Supported Location Finding Function - Shown On Model 210
Map-supported location finding (map matching) is available only in the digitized area of the DVD map.
A deviation can be recognized and corrected automatically by comparing the calculated position of the vehicle
with the possible positions on the DVD map.
Function
The position of the vehicle is continuously followed on the DVD map by the navigation processor. A number of
alternative routes are calculated preliminarily in the digitized area of the DVD map. If the route driven varies
from one of the possible routes, the position coordinates for basic location finding are corrected where
necessary.
Loading the DVD map data
The navigation processor has a read/write memory (RAM) for storing the DVD map data. However, this
memory is not large enough to store the entire DVD map (currently approx. 10 %). For this reason, the
navigation processor loads into the memory only the map data required for route guidance.
Here, different storage methods are used depending on whether the destination is in the near vicinity of the
vehicle or further away:
The following methods are used to store the data:

Microsoft
 If the destination is in the near vicinity, a map area is loaded within a radius of approx. 100 km of the
vehicle location ("Local area").
 For destinations further away, an area is selected surrounding the vehicle location, the destination and the
concrete route to the destination ("Corridor formation").
After storing the map data, the DVD with the map data can be taken out of the drive. Now, audio CDs can also
be played.
If the driver deviates too far from the calculated route during the course of navigation system and thereby leaves
the map area stored in the navigation processor, it may be necessary to insert the DVD again in order to
calculate a new route. The navigation processor requests this automatically.
Location errors
The errors are classified into 2 categories:
 Incorrect position indication between 2 driving instructions (may not occur more than once every 500
km)
 Incorrect driving instruction (may not occur more than once every 1,000 km)

location finding, function
ROUTE CALCULATION, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-3011E
Once the destination is entered into the radio (A2) the route is calculated by the integrated navigation processor
and constantly updated. This can only be calculated within the digitalized map areas. The calculated route is the
prerequisite of the destination guidance system.
Route calculation, function
The navigation processor calculates the route based on the entered destination and with the aid of the DVD map
data while constantly finding the location. In the calculation, it takes into account the roads and attributes
available on the DVD card and their attributes, such as one-way streets, bans on turns, road classes, etc. (where
present).
Additionally, it is possible for the operator to indicate how the route is to be calculated:
 Fastest route
 Shortest route
 Own adjustments
In the event of "OWN ADJUSTMENTS", the following stretches can be blocked from the route calculation:
Microsoft
 FREEWAY
 FERRY
 TOLL
After calculation of the route, the navigation processor makes up a list of the streets along the route. This route
list is used for navigation. It can be displayed during navigation by pressing the "I" (INFO) and "RTE" (Route)
buttons.
Route updating
If the driver deviates from the calculated route, a new route list is automatically calculated by the navigation
processor. The current position and the direction of travel are taken into consideration, and the new route is
optimized accordingly. This is accomplished without any message on the display.
Circumventing traffic jams with "Traffic jam" menu key function
After a traffic jam is reported on traffic radio and before reaching the affected section, a route can be calculated
for driving around the traffic jam. For this purpose, activate the "Traffic jam" menu and enter the length of the
traffic jam including the distance to the start of the traffic jam.
The "Traffic jam" function is also available for Federal and State highways as well as for inner city areas.
Trips outside the digitized map area
If the vehicle leaves the digitized DVD map area (e.g. driving into a multi-level car park), then no route can be
calculated or updated. "OFF ROAD" appears on the display. Upon leaving the map boundary, the display "OFF
MAP" appears.
Destinations which lie outside of the digitalized map area cannot be taken into consideration on calculation of
the route.

Navigation is the generation and output of driving recommendations, in order to guide the driver to the desired
destination. The prerequisites of destination guidance include:
 Constant map matching is in operation (occurs automatically),

 Destination was entered
 Route has been calculated.
The navigation processor continuously compares the route calculation data with the ongoing location finding
data and derives from this measures for further navigation.
Depending on the vehicle position, a distinction is made between the following navigation modes:
 Destination within digitized DVD map area

 Restricted navigation outside the digitalized DVD map area

 Arrow indicating the driving direction
 Current location, in other words name of city and street, latitude and longitude
 Name of the next road into which the vehicle should turn
 Distance to next turning point specified in units of length or as bar graph (3)
The navigation processor generates graphic signals for the navigation system symbols.

DESTINATION GUIDANCE IN NON-DIGITALIZED MAP AREA, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-4001C
When traveling outside of the digitized map area (e.g. company grounds, parking buildings, dirt roads,...),
however still within the DVD map boundaries, the navigation processor switches over to "navigation system in
non-digitized map area".
On the radio (A2) display the following message appears:
 "OFFROAD"
Microsoft
If the vehicle is also outside the DVD map limit, the following message appears:
 "OFFMAP"
In both cases, only basic location finding is accomplished with correction using the GPS data.
A (limited) route guidance can be conducted only with specification of the:
 Distance from the destination as the crow flies

 Direction to the destination (as an arrow)
After reentering the digitized map area, the system automatically continues with "navigation system in digitized
map area". The possible streets/roads on which the vehicle may be located are determined with the aid of GPS
location finding. During this process a slight delay in the route guidance may result.
The road data of several Central European countries are stored on the navigation DVD, so that the
"OFF MAP" message will not appear, if borders between the stored countries are crossed. No special foreign
country DVD has to be inserted.
Dynamic route guidance, GF82.61-P-4003QA

function
DYNAMIC ROUTE GUIDANCE, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-4003QA
The current traffic situation is taken into consideration in the dynamic route guidance. The COMAND
navigation system Audio 30 APS can receive information on the traffic situation either by the Traffic Center
Service (TCS) or the Traffic Message Channel (TMC).
The services from the Traffic Center Service (TCS) are offered by an external provider and an
application is to be sent to the provider for use.
Traffic messages via Traffic Center Service (TCS)
The latest traffic situation information is transmitted by a service provider for a fee in the form of an SMS (short
message service) signal via the CTEL D network. The traffic data are only transmitted when the service
provider receives a corresponding request from the vehicle.
The request can be sent either:
 Cyclically, every 15 minutes

 Once
In order to reduce the data volume the current location of the vehicle is automatically sent to the D network
center when the information request is posted.
Microsoft
The service provider then transmits only traffic messages at within a radius of approx. 75 km of the vehicle. The
telephone system of the vehicle receives the traffic announcements and transmits them via the D2B to the traffic
data recorder that is integrated in the radio (A2).
It is possible to use the telephone during TCS data interchange.
Traffic messages via Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
Information on the current traffic situation is transmitted by a specially equipped radio-broadcast station aimed
at specific areas and coded (toll) or uncoded (toll free) via VHF. For this purpose an appropriate FM/RDS
station must be tuned in.
The radio (A2) receives the traffic announcements and transmits them to the traffic data recorder. Since no
communication is accomplished between the vehicle and broadcasting corporation with TMC messages, the
traffic data recorder selects the traffic messages related to the route on which the vehicle is presently driving as
well as the surrounding area.
Traffic information analysis
In both cases
(TCS or TMC) the traffic data recorder decodes the traffic information and forwards it when requested to the
navigation computer. The navigation processor makes the decision whether the route should be changed. If
necessary, a message that the route should be changed is output via the vehicle speaker.
For synchronization purposes the traffic data recorder needs a list from the navigation processor, in which each
stretch and each striking feature (e.g., freeway exit) of the recorded street network is clearly defined with the aid
of a number. The list is originally stored on DVD. If required (e.g. changing the DVD) it is automatically
loaded into the traffic data recorder. The traffic information stored in the traffic data recorder is erased
automatically after 0.5 hrs., max. 100 messages can be stored.
The decoded traffic messages are marked on the map using suitable symbols. They can also be displayed as
clear text. To this end the "alternate route" button should be pressed and the "TRAFFIC INFO" menu activated.

Radio and navigation module, function - GF82.61-P-4109-04A
Models 163, 168, 170, 208, 209, 210 with code 353
Processing key signals
The controls on the radio (A2) are read in via I/O ports of the microcontroller and made available to the central
computer. Depending on the system function the button operations are processed further in the central computer
or conveyed via the Digital Data Bus (D2B) or interior CAN (CAN B) in the form of a data telegram to the
system components involved (e.g. CD changer).
Display
The display of the radios (A2) has 197 x 32 pixels. Texts are displayed in 3 lines.
After particular functions are called (e.g. navigation), the bottom line shows a variable inscription for the row of
buttons underneath (multifunction buttons). As a result the system can be operated very conveniently with a few
buttons, as the function which is activated when the button is operated, is shown in plain text (e.g. LANG,
ITEM, DYN, CLOCK etc.).
Audio signal output
The audio signals of the various sources (CD, voice output for navigation etc.) are processed by the radio (A2)
and amplified before output by the vehicle speakers.
On models 168, 170, 208 and 210 with the sound system (code 810) the audio signals are finally
amplified by the amplifier for the sound system (N40/3). For this, the audio source data (low-frequency signals)
are transmitted to the amplifier for the sound system (N40/3) via separate lines.
Microsoft
On models 163 and 209 the final amplification of the audio signal is performed by the sound amplifier
(A2/13). All the data are transmitted via the D2B.
Audio mute
An incoming phone call activates the audio mute function (a separate signal input exists on the radio (A2) for
this). When the audio mute function is activated, the current audio source (e.g. radio) is muted automatically.
Navigation processor, GPS control module and gyrosensor
The navigation processor is the central component of the navigation system.
It is integrated into the radio (A2) and from the incoming signals continuously calculates the location and once
the destination is entered calculates the route for navigation. The GPS receiver is integrated into the navigation
processor. It evaluates the satellite signals and calculates from them the vehicle position in degrees longitude
and latitude. Various GPS antennae are used to receive these signals depending on the vehicle model:
 Model 163: telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49)

 Models 168, 208.3, 210: GPS antenna (A2/49a2)
 Models 170, 208.4: GPS rear antenna (A2/23a2)
 Model 209: GPS antenna (A2/23)
Reception from at least 3 satellites is necessary for exact GPS position calculation. A free view of the
sky is required for this purpose.
The integrated gyrosensor continuously senses every change in direction of the vehicle. Evaluation of this data
is accomplished by the navigation processor.
Calibration of the gyrosensor is not required.
DVD drive and DVD
The DVD drive of the radio (A2) reads data from the navigation DVD inserted and makes this available to the
navigation processor via the data bus inside the device.
Audio CDs can also be played.
The following are located on the navigation DVD:
 Program data for the navigation computer

 Voice segments for voice output
 Map data.
A distinction is made between digitized and non-digitized areas within the DVD map area:
Microsoft
 Villages, towns, roads, intersections and their attributes (e.g. one-way streets, no turns etc.) are recorded
in the digitized map area.
 Included in the non-digitized areas are, for example company/private grounds, farms, small housing
estates, tracks across fields and areas between villages.
No data is available here.
Diagnosis interface (K-line) and fault management of D2B-components
During operation, the system stores all occurring faults in the nonvolatile memory. It is not possible to output
the fault via the display of the radio (A2).
The radio's (A2) fault management also includes the D2B-components connected. For this purpose, each D2B
component has its own DTC memory. The faults are transmitted from the corresponding components via the
D2B to the radio (A2) and can then be read out via the diagnosis interface

Function of digital network
Fig. 35: Identifying Public Switched Network Center And Mobile Service Switching Center
D-network, general
The D-network ( Digital network ) is made out according to the GSM standard ( Global S ystem for M obile
Communication.
This allows telephone calls to countries with networks which also operate according to the GSM standard and
whose users have a GSM telephone. Moreover, so-called "roaming contracts" between the countries exist to
regulate telephone traffic. The countries included in these contracts are listed in so-called "roaming lists".
The D-net itself has a honeycomb-type structure for the greatest possible area coverage for mobile subscribers
whereby some areas may no be covered. The individual cells have a radius of 100 m to 35 km. However, the
actual value may be less depending on the maximum traffic volume (e.g. in large cities) or the surface
characteristics (mountains, buildings, etc.).Transmission problems could occur if the user is located in valleys
(dead spot) or in areas with a small number of transmission and reception stations. This can, however, be
eliminated by moving to another location. Each cell has up to 16 carrier frequencies which allow up to seven
conversations per carrier frequency.
Transmission of the voice and data signals is accomplished digitally in the range of 900 -1900 MHz. It allows
increased security against tapping calls and provision of additional services such as:
Microsoft
 Fee display
 conference calls, waiting function
 identification of calling party
 call relaying
Moreover, with ISDN compatibility the D-network offers access possibilities to text and data stations
(corresponding adapters required).
The D-network requires the following operating units:
 Transmission and receiving terminal (BTS=B ase Transceiver S tation, per cell)
 Concentrator (BSC=B ase Station C ontroller, radio switching center, from the one cell to the other)
 Switching center (MSC=M obile S ervice Switching Center, from the one cell to the other)
Each transceiver station (BTS) is connected to the associated mobile service switching center (MSC) via a
concentrator (BSC). The connection between the base transceiver station (BTS) and concentrator (BSC) is
accomplished via radio signal (pulsed signal) and the connection from the concentrator (BSC) to the mobile
service switching center (MSC) via lines (permanently-wired 4-conductor cables).
The following units are included in the mobile switching center (MSC):
 (HLR=H ome L ocation R egister)

 (VLR=V isitor L ocation R egister)
 (AC=A uthentication C enter)
 Equipment identification register (EIR=E quipment I dentification R egister). Apart from this the mobile
service switching center (MSC) also forms the interface for switching the public service telephone
network (PSTN, in Germany to Deutsche Telekom).
The purpose of the units listed is explained in the following examples:
 Telephone (D-network) log-in

 Telephone (D-network) mobile subscriber to public telephone network
 Telephone (D-network) mobile subscriber to mobile subscriber
Each subscriber in the D-network is listed in his mobile service switching center (MSC) or the home location
register (HLR) stored for him. The network access authorization of the mobile subscriber is also checked in the
authentication center (AC) located there.
Moreover, defective or stolen units are identified in the equipment identification register (EIR). This ensures
that such units can be identified immediately when they log into the network. All subscribers from other home
location registers (HLR) or other networks are identified in the visitor location register (VLR)
It is possible to select between two versions:

Log-in
Prerequisites:
 Card is inserted
 Device is switched on (on/off button)
If necessary (dependent on system), enter the PIN (Personal Identification Number). In response to this, the
Microsoft
telephone then establishes contact with the most favorably located transmitting and receiving terminal (BTS).
Access to the network is authorized when the mobile service switching center (MCS) has retrieved the required
data. Log-in then follows. The telephone display then shows the name of the network (D1 or D2).
If the nearest mobile switching center (MCS) is not the one in which the user is registered when he/she logged
in his/her mobile telephone, he/she is registered in the visitor location register (VLR) present there. The mobile
switching center (MSC) mentioned then establishes contact with the mobile switching center (MSC) of the user
and access is authorized after retrieving the required data. The mobile switching center (MSC) is automatically
informed of the location of the subscriber. A change of location is updated in the mobile service switching
center (MSC). The mobile switching center (MSC) is thus always informed of the present location of the
subscriber and can relay incoming calls to him/her, however, this only applies as long as he/she is logged into
the network.

Fig. 37: Identifying Car Telephone (D-net) Mobile Subscribers In Public Telephone Network
Mobile subscribers in public telephone network
If the mobile subscriber has logged into the D-net within the reception range of his/her mobile service switching
center (MSC), this is automatically indicated to his/her mobile service switching center (MSC) and registered in
his/her personal home location register (HLR).
If the mobile subscriber then dials a number, it is transmitted to the mobile service switching center (MSC).
The feed line is set up over the most favorable radio connection. This is constantly automatically determined by
the system.
Microsoft
The mobile service switching center (MSC) then relays the call to the public telephone network.
The communication path is therefore divided up into the radio telephone network path:
 Mobile telephone
 Base transceiver station (BTS)
 Base station controller (BSC)
 Mobile service switching center (MSC) and public telephone network path
 Mobile switching center, public telephone network (PSTN)
 Fixed network telephone
Telephone (D-network) mobile subscriber to mobile subscriber - GF82.70-P-0003-05C
Fig. 38: Identifying Telephone (D-Network) Mobile Subscriber To Mobile Subscriber
Mobile subscribers (A) and (B) have logged into the D-network outside of the reception range of their (home)
mobile switching center (MSC).
They are then logged into the best located base transceiver station (BTS) and base station controller (BSC) in
the closest (external) mobile switching center (MSC) and are registered in the home location register (HLR)
there. The (external) mobile switching centers (MSC) automatically connect to the responsible (home) mobile
switching center (MSC) (MSC, A is not shown) and inform them of the momentary location of the subscriber.
The location of the corresponding mobile subscriber is then registered in both (home) mobile switching centers.
If a mobile subscriber (A) wants to complete a call to mobile subscriber (B) he/she enters his/her number.
This number allows determination of the location of mobile subscriber (B) by his (home) mobile switching
Microsoft
center (MSC, B). With the information on the location, the system then transmits the call from mobile
subscriber (A) to mobile subscriber (B) via the best communication path. During a call the system automatically
continues to search for the best communication option to minimize transmission losses.
The communication path is therefore subdivided into the radio telephone network path:
 Mobile telephone
 Base transceiver station (BTS)
 Base station controller (BSC)
 Mobile switching center (MSC)
 Mobile service switching center (MSC-B)

A call can be set up different ways depending on the model and equipment specification (voice control system),
provided that the PIN has been entered, the system logged in and ready (switched on).
Calls are conducted via the telephone antenna .
The differences in the antennas for the telephone systems result from vehicle-specific factors (convertible,
sedan, T-model etc.). This in turn requires the use of different vehicle antennas, speakers etc., depending upon
the type of (vehicle) antenna and its equipment specification an antenna splitter (A28/1) can also be used.
On all models it is possible to conduct a call via the vehicle's handsfree system which greatly enhances driving
safety. Here the call is conducted via the handsfree system microphone (B25) and the handsfree system
speaker , the handset remains in the receptacle.
In this case the display on the handset or portable cellular telephone shows a sequence of displays, which
Microsoft
inform the user of the operating condition (e.g. menu selection) of the telephone.
The volume of the speaker on the handset and therefore the volume of the handsfree system can be individually
set by the user to suit on the handset.
In order to ensure that the user's voice input via the handsfree system's microphone is not distorted in any way,
the radio is automatically muted for the duration of the call.
Further information is available in each of the respective owner's manuals.

Initial operation
Before the telephone is used, it is necessary to log into the telephone network ( digital network ). For this
purpose the SIM ( S ubscriber I dentification M odule) card is required.
After inserting the SIM card (already in telephone transmitter/receiver with permanently installed telephone
depending on system) and then switching on with the ON/OFF switch on the telephone handset (A34) or on the
portable CTEL (A34/6) it is necessary for the user to enter the four to eight-digit PIN code ( P ersonal
Identification N umber) when requested. This number prevents unauthorized use of the card and protects against
misuse Incorrectly entering the code three times in sequence disables the card, which can be re-enabled with the
aid of a personal eight-digit re- enable number (PUK, personal unblocking key or also super PIN). This allows
entry of a new PIN number.
If the PUK is entered incorrectly ten times in sequence, the card is rendered unusable and it is necessary to
apply to the provider for a new card.
If the number is entered correctly, the telephone logs into the service provider's network. The telephone is then
ready for use.
Accepting a call
A call can be accepted by the user in a number of ways:
 picking up telephone handset (A34) (fixed installation), Making a call using telephone handset (A34).
 Pressing the appropriate function button, Telephone handset (A34) (permanently installed) or portable
cellular telephone remains in holder, handling call via hands-free system (hands-free system microphone
(B25), model 163/168/170/210/215/220 hands-free system loudspeaker (H4/12), model 129/202/208

 On vehicles with voice control system (voice control system (CODE 813b): Actuation of VCS switch
(S93/2))
 On vehicles with multifunction steering wheel (MFL) and multifunction display (A1p13): Actuation of
accept/terminate phone call pushbutton (S111s3).
Placing a call
Just as with receiving a call, a call can be placed by the user in a number of ways:
 by picking up telephone handset (A34) (fixed installation); after entering the desired subscriber's number
Microsoft
by pressing the transmit button and waiting until the other party answers.
 the telephone handset (A34) (fixed installation) or portable CTEL (A34/6) is left in the cradle; after
entering the desired subscriber's number and then pressing the transmit button, wait until the called
subscriber answers
 On vehicles with voice control system (VCS) (code 813b): Actuate VCS switch (S93/2) (voice control
system (code 813)) and have number dialed using voice entry
 On vehicles with multifunction steering wheel and multifunction display (A1p13): Actuation of
accept/terminate phone call pushbutton (S111s3). During the call the user can, after actuating the
corresponding function keys, change between the following types of operation: telephone handset (A34)/
portable cellular telephone (A34/6) or handsfree system (handsfree system microphone (B25), model
163/168/170/210/215/220 handsfree system loudspeaker (H4/12), model 129/202/208 double-coil
loudspeaker and right front radio and telephone handsfree system (H4/14)).
When entering the number, it is possible for the user to simplify number entry with the appropriate function
buttons by calling up the desired numbers directly from the memory stored for this purpose. In this case, it is
possible to call numbers stored either on the SIM card or in the telephone memory.
When muted, the word "Phone" appears on the display of the radio/ multifunction display
The information is processed via the vehicle's own bus systems (CAN, D2B or MOST) and discrete lines. In
order to transfer information to the or in the telephone memory.
If the radio is switched on when a call is started, it is muted regardless of whether it is an incoming or outgoing
call.

On / off characteristics of D2B telephone (fixed installation)
The characteristic of the D2B telephone in the D2B ring is solely dependent on the state of terminal 15 (ignition
ON/OFF). Information regarding the state of terminal 15 is sent to the D2B interface fixed installation (A59)
from the Head Unit (COMAND/radio) via the D2B ring. The D2B interface fixed installation (A59) is not
electrically connected to terminal 15 and switches the CTEL transmitter/receiver (A35) on or off when
commanded by the Head Unit, via the D2B ring or an external wake-up circuit.
After the ignition is switched off the D2B interface fixed installation (A59) and therefore the telephone
remains switched on for an overshoot period of t=10 min. before being switched off. It is not possible to
reprogram the overshoot period.
System performance
Microsoft
The D2B interface fixed installation (A59) has three operating states.
 Powerdown mode
The D2B interface fixed installation (A59) is switched off with the exception of the external wake-up
circuit.
 Idle or overshoot time mode
The remaining components in the D2B ring are switched off, only the D2B interface fixed installation
(A59) remains active for t=10 min after the D2B ring has been switched off (ignition OFF). Each further
key operation, during the overshoot period, extends the overshoot period by t=60 min.
 Active mode
Both the D2B interface fixed installation (A59) and the other components in the D2B ring remain active
and available to the user.
Switch-on operation
1. Current state: ignition ON, D2B interface fixed installation (A59) is in inactive mode (powerdown
mode), the telephone system is not operational.
The D2B interface fixed installation (A59) is activated (active mode) when:
The telephone is switched on by the handset


 a telephone that is in the receptacle is switched on and makes a call (incoming/outgoing)
 a wake-up signal of another D2B ring subscriber is recognized via the external wake-up circuit
2. Current state: ignition OFF, the D2B interface fixed installation (A59) is in the overshoot phase (idle
mode) and the D2B ring is in inactive mode (switched off)
The D2B interface fixed installation (A59) is activated (active mode) when:
 a telephone that is in the receptacle is switched on and makes a call (incoming/outgoing)

 a wake-up signal of another D2B ring subscriber is recognized via the external wake-up circuit
Switching-off process
The D2B interface fixed installation (A59) is in the overshoot phase (idle mode) and the D2B ring is switched
off.
The following cases are possible depending on the status of terminal 15:
 Terminal 15 ON
After expiry of the overshoot period of t=10 min (no further telephone key operations during the
Microsoft
overshoot period) the D2B interface fixed installation (A59) switches off (powerdown mode). The
status of the telephone is not altered here, in other words, a switched on telephone remains so and is not
switched of by the D2B interface fixed installation (A59) .
 Terminal 15 OFF
After expiry of the overshoot period of t=10 min (no further telephone key operations during the
overshoot period) the D2B interface fixed installation (A59) switches off (powerdown mode). The
status of the telephone is altered here, in other words, a switched on telephone is switched off by the D2B
interface fixed installation (A59) .
When the D2B ring is deactivated the D2B interface fixed installation (A59) is switched off if the telephone is
not switched on.

Theportable CTEL D2B interface (A59/1) is switched on or off via a discrete "Wake-Up" line. It reacts to the
falling impulse edge (at rest state level is "high") and the duration of the "Wake-Up" signal.
Generally after switching off the D2B, the D2B interface mobile phone (A59/1) remains active for a further 10
minutes, provided a switched-on mobile phone is in the cradle.
Incoming control data from D2B is directed to the mobile phone via the portable CTEL D2B interface
(A59/1) with the aid of discrete data lines; then as requested by the radio (A2) the portable CTEL D2B
interface (A59/1) switches the mobile phone on or off and relays the functions to be carried out (e.g. dial
number). Inversely, the mobile phone data (voice of caller, control data, telephone numbers) is converted into
an appropriate D2B format by the portable CTEL D2B interface (A59/1) and then directed to the radio (A2)
for further processing.
Charging mobile phone rechargeable battery
The mobile phone rechargeable battery remains on charge as long as the portable CTEL D2B interface
(A59/1) is activated via the D2B (regardless of whether the mobile phone is switched on or off).

SWITCH ON/OFF BEHAVIOR, FUNCTION - GF82.85-P-2006B
ON/off characteristics
The radio (A2) is switched on by pressing the "ON" button. The radio (A2) likewise switches On automatically
by rotating the ignition key (models 163, 168, 170, 208, 210) or transmitter key (A8/1) (models 203, 209) into
position 1 "circuit 15R ON", provided that it was switched on immediately before the last time "circuit 15R
ON" was switched off. However, if the radio (A2) was switched off last, only the following components are
activated with "circuit 15R ON":
 Digital databus (D2B)

 Continuous location finding
In this case the display on the radio (A2) remains Off. This allows quick availability of the system when the
"ON" button is then actuated.
Following each switch-on operation, the system returns to the state in which it was before it was last switched
off (e.g. navigation basic menu).
The bus systems and navigation processor for location finding (for quicker readiness for operation) are
already activated when the driver door is opened.
Switch off characteristics
The system is switched off by switching off at the "ON" button or when "circuit 15R ON" is switched off.
The unit switches off automatically after an hour, if when switching on the ignition key (models 163, 168, 170,
208, 210) or transmitter key (A8/1) (models 203, 209) has not been inserted in the ignition switch.
Run-on time/navigation
The data on the current navigation are stored for 12 hours after the radio (A2) is switched off.

Fig. 62: Audio 30 APS In Navigation Mode Block Diagram
The location of the vehicle as well as the direction and distance to the destination (according to destination
entered) is determined with the aid of the navigation system. Then the required measures to reach the
destination are started (guidance) .
The navigation system can be activated by pressing the "NAV" button on the radio and navigation unit
(A2/56) .
A navigation processor with CD-ROM drive is integrated into the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) for
reading in the navigation data (digital map, speech segments and software).
The navigation CD-ROM drive can also be used to play audio CDs.
Entering destination
The destination can be entered with menu guidance on the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) and processed by
the navigation processor . The system only allows entry of destination addresses stored on the CD-ROM.
The following possibilities are available for entering a destination:
Microsoft
 Call-up of destination stored in destination memory

 Free entry of destination with menu guidance based on name (when destination is stored on CD-ROM)
Location finding
The navigation processor continuously calculates the location of the vehicle with the aid of the following
procedures:
 GPS location finding
 Basic location finding (dead reckoning)

 Map-supported location finding (map matching)
The correct position is determined by continuously comparing the locating result of these three procedures.
Route calculation
The route is calculated in the navigation processor according to the destination entered, or automatically, after
deviating from the recommended route. The recommended route is stored in the navigation processor
Guidance
After the navigation processor has calculated the route, guidance is started. The driver receives continuous
information with the aid of guidance symbols appearing on the display of the radio and navigation unit
(A2/56) and voice announcements on the vehicle loudspeaker.
