Block diagram for COMAND telephone system, shown on model 220 with the following equipment: 

IMPORTANT On vehicles as of 1.9.03, all audio signals of the audio components, voice signals as well as the signals of the navigation processor (N41/1) are transmitted via the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST).

IMPORTANT On vehicles as of 1.9.03, the navigation processor (N41/1) is installed as a separate control unit in the left of the engine compartment.

IMPORTANT On vehicles as of 1.9.03, the audio gateway control unit (N93/1) is also installed as an interface between the Controller Area Network bus class B (interior) (CAN-B) and the MOST. The audio signals are then sent to the audio gateway control unit (N93/1) and output via the vehicle speakers.

The telephone system can be operated directly at the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3n1) on the multifunction steering wheel (MFL) in combination with the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1) or via voice command (optional).

Making a call, function 

The data telegrams (e.g. dial telephone number) for operating the telephone system are forwarded from the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3n1) over the Digital Data Bus (D2B) to the portable CTEL D2B interface (A59/1).

The portable CTEL D2B interface (A59/1) transmits the data telegrams via a separate interface to the portable CTEL (A34/6). The actual telephone connection is made over the portable CTEL (A34/6) and the telephone antenna (A2/49a1) (on model 220) or the telephone antenna (A2/22) (on model 215).

The telephone antenna (A2/49a1) (on model 220) and the telephone antenna (A2/22) (on model 215) are each connected to the E-call control unit (A35/8).

If required, a high frequency relay integrated in the E-call control unit (A35/8) connects the telephone antenna (A2/49a1) (on model 220) or the telephone antenna (A2/22) (on model 215) to the portable CTEL (A34/6).

Handsfree conversation, function 

The driver's voice is converted by the handsfree system microphone (B25) into a digital signal and sent by the portable CTEL D2B interface (A59/1) to the portable CTEL (A34/6).

The voice signals of the party called are forwarded by the portable CTEL D2B interface (A59/1) to the Digital Data Bus (D2B) and received by the audio component of the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3). There the signals are amplified and output via the vehicle speakers.

IMPORTANT The US vehicles are prepared for installation of Motorola TDMA, CDMA (V60) or GSM portable CTELs (V60i).

IMPORTANT During a telephone call the audio signal is automatically muted.

IMPORTANT If the vehicle is equipped with code (810) Sound system, the voice signals are picked up by the sound amplifier (A2/13), amplified and then output via the vehicle speakers.
