The data is transmitted by the "audio equipment" by means of dual tone multiple frequency (DTMF) tones in the same way as when the call to the service center has been established successfully.
After the data has been transferred to the service center, the user can talk to an employee at the service center or the workshop. The transmitted data is then available to the employee.
The voice input in hands-free mode is registered by the hands-free system microphone group and forwarded via a direct line to the "audio equipment".
The voice output in vehicles with code (810) Sound system, is conducted by the "audio equipment" to the amplifier for sound system via MOST. From there, the voice output is transmitted via direct lines to the following speakers:
