Location 

The digital TV tuner is located in the trunk at the right rear, in front of the wheel well cutout behind the sidewall lining on a bracket.

Task 

The digital TV tuner has the following tasks:

Receive signals 

The input factors are read in via the following connections:

Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) 

The digital TV tuner receives control signals from the COMAND controller unit over the MOST (A40/3).

Direct line 

The digital TV tuner reads in the following signals:

Demodulating and decoding signals 

The TV signals that are received via the antenna amplifier are evaluated internally and separated into video and audio signals.

Transmit signals 

The initial parameters are transmitted over the following connections:

MOST 

The digital TV tuner sends audio signals to the COMAND controller unit or to the sound system amplifier control unit (N40/3) (with code (810) Sound system or code (811) Advanced sound system).

Direct line 

The TV digital tuner sends video signals over Y/C lines to the COMAND controller unit.

Apart from this, the following components are supplied with a phantom voltage:

Design 

The TV digital tuner is delivered with a "B-CAS card". The card reader in the digital TV tuner is sealed with a cover to prevent unintended removal of the "B-CAS card".

Special features       Diagnosis IS tester
The IS tester can access the TV tuner (analog/digital) diagnosis over the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73), interior CAN (CAN-B), COMAND controller unit and the MOST. The following service functions are supported:
  • Control unit identification
  • Fault management
  • Read fault list
  • Read freeze frame data of a fault
  • Delete fault codes
  • Wiring test of TV antenna amplifier and audio/video lines for short circuit and connection
  • Read current signal strength - TV antenna amplifier switched on or off
  • Read mean signal strength value - TV antenna amplifier switched on or off
  • Antenna use (TV performs long-term observation)
  • Test picture and test audio
  • Programming TV parameters, i.e. National settings and audio and video lines used
  • Read TV parameters
  • Control module reset
  • Write and read permanent channel list for special usage areas (workshop list)
Flash capability/coding capability       Profi-compatible flashable/SCN coding
