General

TV mode receives TV signals transmitted as electromagnetic waves and converts these into video and audio signals. The video signals are output via the central display or the front passenger display (depending on the equipment installed). The audio signals are output via the speaker system. Operation in TV mode is via the display and control elements of the multimedia system.

Function requirements

No smartphone connected via smartphone integration (e.g. Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto)
For video playback on the central display: Vehicle speed below 6 km/h

Function

The vehicle receives the TV signals as electromagnetic waves via the antennas. An antenna amplifier amplifies the signals and transmits these to multimedia system control. Multimedia system control converts the signals into video and audio signals by means of an integrated TV tuner. The speaker system outputs these audio signals via the speaker. The multimedia system outputs the video signals via the central display or the front passenger display.

Depending on the equipment installed, the following TV standards can be received and processed:

DVB T1/DVB T2 (H.264/H.265/HEVC) (Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial)
(Not for vehicles with code 498 (Japan version) or code 835 (South Korea version))
ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial)
(For vehicles with code 498 (Japan version))
HD-DMB/DMB (digital media broadcast)
(For vehicles with code 835 (South Korea version))

Special features of DVB-T/DTV-T2

The TV tuner integrated in the multimedia system control supports the following video compression standards:

MPEG-2
MPEG-4 AVC (H.264)
MPEG-H (H.265)

Encrypted programs can also be received using a Common Interface Plus (CI+) module. On vehicles without code 498 (Japan version), a CI+ card reader is also installed.

The CI+ card reader for the CI+ module is located in the glove compartment. With a valid CI+ module, fee-based, high-resolution, encrypted TV programs can also be received.

The TV tuner supports video text with Latin ASCII character sets (therefore currently no Greek or Cyrillic character sets, for example).

Special features of ISDB-T

The TV tuner integrated in the multimedia system control supports video text via Broadcast Markup Language (BML) and the electronic program view (Electronic Program Guide (EPG)).

The following parts of the ISDB-T standard are supported:

"1seg" (one segment) (low-resolution signal for mobile reception at low bandwidth)
"full segment" (high-resolution signal for reception at high bandwidth)

Special features of HD-DMB

The TV tuner integrated in the multimedia system control supports high-definition television. A device-specific CAS ID can be shown on the display. This CAS ID allows the program provider to activate additional services subject to a fee.
