Audio/COMAND function, general
The audio equipment is the central control unit for the entertainment and communications systems integrated in the vehicle.
On vehicles with CODE 510 (Audio 20 with CD changer), with CODE 511 (Audio 50 APS with DVD changer), with CODE 512 (COMAND APS with DVD changer), with CODE 528 (COMAND with DVD changer) or with CODE 814 (DVD changer), the CD/DVD drive of the audio equipment is designed as a changer, i.e. a choice can be made between up to six CDs or DVDs.
The audio equipment communicates over the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) with the following control units (except on vehicles with CODE 523 (MB Audio 20 radio)):
- Digital Audio Broadcasting control unit (N87/3) (with CODE 537 (Digital radio (DAB)), up to 31.08.2014)
- Satellite digital audio radio control unit (SDAR) (N87/5) (with CODE 536 (SIRIUS satellite radio), up to 31.08.2014)
- Digital TV tuner (A90/3) (with CODE 865 (TV tuner), up to 31.08.2014) or TV tuner (analog/digital) (A90/1) (with CODE 863 (Digital/analog TV tuner))
- Tuner unit (A90/4) (with CODE 536 (SIRIUS satellite radio), with CODE 537 (Digital radio (DAB)) or with CODE 865 (TV tuner), as of 01.09.2014)
- Sound system amplifier control unit (N40/3) (with CODE 810 (Sound system) or CODE 811 (Advanced sound system))
- Media interface control unit (N125/1) (with CODE 518 (Media Interface), up to 31.08.2014)
The displays and menu views for the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8) are generated in the audio equipment (except during navigation mode with CODE 509 (Navigation box), up to 31.08.2014). The display and menu view for navigation with CODE 509 (Navigation box) are not generated in the audio equipment, but instead in the navigation module (A2/30) (up to 31.08.2014) and differ from the standard display.
The following applications can also be shown in the instrument cluster (A1): Audio, telephone, navigation.
Equipment with CODE 867 (SPLITVIEW) (up to 31.08.2014) enables the driver and front passenger to use the entertainment and communication systems integrated into the vehicle including the display on the Audio/COMAND display at the same time and independent of each other. In order to enable undisturbed concentration on the traffic situation for the driver, the front passenger receives the audio signals via headphones. The COMAND controller unit (A40/3) sends the audio signals over an integrated Kleer® radio interface to the radio frequency headphones (H8/3) (up to 31.08.2014). Cabled headphones (accessories) can optionally also be used. The cabled headphones receive the audio signals from the COMAND controller unit over the headphones (cabled) electrical connection (X39/6) (up to 31.08.2014).
On vehicles with CODE 867 (SPLITVIEW) (up to 31.08.2014), the functions of the audio equipment can be called up using the remote control (A8/7) (up to 31.08.2014). The COMAND controller unit receives the signals from the remote control via the integrated Kleer® radio interface.
The audio equipment contains the following subfunctions :
- Audio mode function
- Disk changer function (with CODE 510 (Audio 20 with CD changer), CODE 511 (Audio 50 APS with DVD changer), CODE 512 (COMAND APS with DVD changer), CODE 528 (COMAND with DVD changer) or with CODE 814 (DVD changer))
- Video mode function (with CODE 512 (COMAND APS with DVD changer), CODE 526 (COMAND with single DVD drive (without navigation)), CODE 527 (COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation)), CODE 528 (COMAND with DVD changer) or with CODE 531 (COMAND APS))
- TV mode function (with CODE 863 (Digital/analog TV tuner) or CODE 865 (TV tuner))
- Internet connection function (as of 01.07.2011 except CODE 494 (USA version), with CODE 512 (COMAND APS with DVD changer) or CODE 527 (COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation)); with CODE 348 (Emergency call/assist system) and CODE 512 (COMAND APS with DVD changer); as of 01.09.2014)
- Media Interface function (with CODE 518 (Media Interface), up to 31.08.2014))
- Navigation mode function (with CODE 509 (Navigation box), up to 31.08.2014)
- Navigation mode function (with CODE 357 (Map navigation), as of 01.09.2014)
- Navigation mode function (with CODE 512 (COMAND APS with DVD changer), with CODE 527 (COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation)) or with CODE 531 (COMAND APS); with CODE 511 (Audio 50 APS with DVD changer) or with CODE 525 (MB Audio 50 APS radio))
- Mobile phone system function
- Voice control system function (with CODE 512 (COMAND APS with DVD changer), CODE 527 (COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation)) or with CODE 531 (COMAND APS); with CODE 511 (Audio 50 APS with DVD changer))
- Emergency call system function (with CODE 359 (TELEAID emergency call system) or with CODE 348 (Emergency call/assist system); with CODE 347 (Ecall Europe emergency call system) or with CODE 350 (Ecall Europe emergency call system))
- Electronic Toll Collection function (with CODE 498 (Japan version), dealer option up to 28.02.2012)
- Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) function (with CODE 498 (Japan version), dealer option as of 01.03.2012)
The audio equipment acts as a gateway. It routes the signals from the interior CAN (CAN B) to the components of the telematics CAN (CAN A) and the MOST and thus forms the communications interface.
