General information on voice control
The following functions of the driver information system can be called up and operated via the voice control system (VCS [SBS]).
- Radio
- CD
- CD changer (model 463.247/248/254/270/303/340/341 with code (EP5) CD changer or with model 463.249/271)
- Navigation
- Mobile phone (model 463.247/248/254/270/303/340/341 with code (EH1) Mobile phone with cradle and hands-free system or with code (EV8) Mobile phone preinstallation as of model year 2007 model year 07.5, YoM 07 or model 463.249/271 as of model year 2007)
The system can be controlled by voice by spelling out or entering complete words.
The VCS [SBS] is activated by pulling the VCS [SBS] switch toward the driver. An acoustic signal is emitted after activation has taken place. It is deactivated by pressing the VCS [SBS] switch.
Voice control function sequence
The actuation of the VCS [SBS] switch is read in by the steering column tube module and sent to the COMAND operating, display and controller unit via the interior CAN. This transmits the activation command via MOST to the voice control system control unit, which activates the integrated voice recognition of the VCS [SBS].
This is announced to the user through an acoustic signal (beep). At the same time, the hands-free system microphone group is activated and the audio system's radio components are muted to ensure that the user input is not distorted in any way.
The signals of the hands-free system microphone group are read in by the voice control system control unit, digitized and sent via MOST to the COMAND operating, display and controller unit.
Voice output
With model 463.249/271 or with model 463.248/270/341 with code (E66) Sound system (Harman/Kardon) the voice output is provided by the COMAND operating, display and controller unit via the sound system amplifier to the speakers.
On model 463.248/270/341 without code (E66) Sound system (Harman/Kardon) and model 463.247/254/303/340 voice output is issued by the COMAND operating, display and controller unit via direct lines at the speakers.
