Audio/COMAND function, general
The audio equipment is the center control panel for the entertainment and communications systems integrated in the vehicle.
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 Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) and thereby forms the communications interface.
MODEL 212
with CODE 523 (Audio 20 CD)
No MOST is available.
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)):
- Sound system amplifier control unit (N40/3) (with CODE 810 (Sound system) or CODE 811 (Advanced sound system))
- Tuner unit (A90/4) (with CODE 536 (SIRIUS satellite radio), with CODE 537 (Digital radio (DAB)) or with CODE 865 (TV tuner), as of 02.03.2015)
- Digital TV tuner (A90/3) (with CODE 865 (TV tuner), up to 01.03.2015)
- TV tuner (analog/digital) (A90/1) (with CODE 863 (Digital/analog TV tuner), up to 31.05.2012)
- Digital Audio Broadcasting control unit (N87/3) (with CODE 537 (Digital radio (DAB)), up to 01.03.2015)
- Satellite Digital Audio Radio (SDAR) control unit (N87/5) (with CODE 536 (SIRIUS satellite radio), as of 01.06.2010 up to 01.03.2015)
- SDAR/high definition tuner control unit (N87/8) (with CODE 536 (SIRIUS satellite radio), up to 31.05.2010)
- Media Interface control unit (N125/1) (with CODE 518 (Media Interface), up to 01.03.2015)
MODEL 212
without CODE 509 (Navigation box)
The displays and menu displays for the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8) are generated in the audio equipment.
MODEL 212
with CODE 509 (Navigation box)
The displays and menu representations for the Audio/COMAND display are generated in the audio equipment, except when in navigation mode. Display and menu display for navigation mode is not generated in the audio equipment but in the navigation module (A2/30) and differ from the standard display.
Some applications can also be displayed in the instrument cluster (A1), e.g. in the "Audio", "Telephone" or "Navigation" menus.
Equipment with CODE 867 (SPLITVIEW) enables the driver and the 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) transmits the audio signals to the radio frequency headphones (H8/3) via an integrated radio interface. Cabled headphones (accessories) can optionally also be used. The cabled headphones receive the audio signals from the COMAND controller unit via the headphones (cabled) electrical connection (X39/6).
In vehicles with CODE 867 (SPLITVIEW) the functions of the audio equipment can be called up using the remote control (A8/7). The COMAND controller unit receives the signals from the remote control via the integrated radio interface.
The audio equipment contains the following subfunctions, which are described in separate documents:
- Audio mode function
- Mobile phone system 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 incl. 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 incl. DVD changer) or CODE 531 (COMAND APS))
- TV mode function (with CODE 863 (Digital/analog TV tuner) or with CODE 865 (TV tuner))
- Internet connection function (vehicles as of 01.07.2011 with CODE 512 (COMAND APS with DVD changer) or CODE 527 (COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation)), up to 31.05.2012 except CODE 494 (USA version); vehicles as of 02.03.2015)
- InCar hotspot function (with CODE 531 (COMAND APS))
