Satellite radio, task - GF82.85-P-3113-01PMU

The SDAR antenna (A2/82) receives S-band signals from satellites and is also able to receive the corresponding signals from terrestrial gap-filling stations (mostly in towns). The signals received from the SDAR antenna (A2/82) are passed on to the SDAR control unit (N87/5) via a coaxial cable. The SDAR control unit (N87/5) receives and decodes the signals. These are then transmitted to the operating unit via the Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST). Depending on the vehicle equipment, the function of the satellite radio can be called up at the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3) using the "SAT" button or in the corresponding menu of the radio (A2).

The Sirius satellite radio receiver is intended as a dealer option for the USA version. The vehicle is delivered with all the cables required for this. To equip the vehicles accordingly, the SDAR control unit (N87/5) and the SDAR antenna (A2/82) still have to be installed and connected.
