Radio data system (RDS)RDS is a service of FM stations thatconsiderably facilitates the finding ofthe desired station and its fault-freereception.

Advantages of RDS■ On the display the programme

name of the set station appearsinstead of its frequency.

■ On station search the Infotainmentsystem tunes in to RDS stationsonly.

■ The Infotainment system alwaystunes into the best receivablebroadcasting frequency of the setstation by means of AF (AlternativeFrequency).

■ Depending on the station that isreceived the Infotainment systemdisplays radio text that can contain,for example, information about thecurrent programme.

Digital audio broadcasting(not available for CD 300)Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) isan innovative and universalbroadcast system.DAB stations are indicated by theprogramme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.

Navi 600 / Navi 900:

CD 400:

General information■ With DAB, several radio

programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single frequency(ensemble).

■ Besides high-quality digital audioservices, DAB is also able totransmit programme-associateddata and a multitude of other dataservices including travel and trafficinformation.

■ As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if thesignal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

■ There is no fading (weakening ofthe sound) that is typical of AM orFM reception. The DAB signal isreproduced at a constant volume.

■ If the DAB signal is too weak to bepicked up by the receiver, receptionis interrupted completely. Thisincident can be avoided by:Navi 600 / Navi 900: activating Autoensemble linking in the DABsettings menu.

38 Radio

CD 400: activating Auto ensemblelinking and/or Auto linking DAB-FM in the DAB settings menu.

■ Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not occurin connection with DAB.

■ If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings, thereception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerably impairedin such cases.

■ The reception of DAB+ stations ispresently not supported by the DABreceiver.

Configuring DAB

■ Dynamic audio adaption: with thisfunction activated, the dynamicrange of the DAB signal is reduced.That means the level of the loudsounds is reduced, but not the levelof the quiet sounds. Therefore thevolume of the Infotainment systemcan be raised to a point where thequiet sounds are audible, withoutthe loud sounds being too loud.

■ Frequency band: after selection ofthis option the user can definewhich DAB wavebands are to bereceived by the Infotainmentsystem.

General informationThe navigation system will reliablyguide you to your destination withoutthe need to read maps, even if youhave no local knowledge whatsoever.The current traffic situation is takeninto account in the route calculation ifdynamic route guidance is used. Forthis purpose the Infotainment systemreceives traffic announcements in thecurrent reception area via RDS-TMC.The navigation system cannot,however, take into account trafficincidents, traffic regulations changedat short notice and hazards orproblems that arise suddenly (e.g.road works).

Caution

The usage of the navigationsystem does not release the driverfrom the responsibility fora correct, vigilant attitude in roadtraffic. The relevant trafficregulations must always befollowed. If a navigation instructioncontradicts traffic regulations, thetraffic regulations always apply.

Functioning of the navigationsystemThe position and movement of thevehicle are detected by the navigationsystem using sensors. The travelleddistance is determined by thevehicle’s speedometer signal, turningmovements on bends by a gyrosensor. The position is determined bythe GPS satellites (Global PositioningSystem).By comparing the sensor signals withthe digital maps on the map SD card,it is possible to determine the positionwith an accuracy of approx.10 metres.

56 Navigation

The system will also work with poorGPS reception, however, theaccuracy of the determination of theposition will be reduced.After the entry of the destinationaddress or point of interest (nearestpetrol station, hotel, etc.) the route iscalculated from the current location tothe destination selected.The route guidance is provided byvoice output and an arrow, as well aswith the aid of a multi-colour mapdisplay.

TMC traffic information systemand dynamic route guidanceThe TMC traffic information systemreceives all current traffic informationfrom TMC radio stations. If dynamicroute guidance is active, thisinformation is included in thecalculation of the overall route. Duringthis process, the route is planned sothat traffic problems related to pre-selected criteria are avoided.

If there is a traffic problem duringactive route guidance, depending onthe pre-settings, a message appearsas to whether the route should bechanged.TMC traffic information is displayed inthe route guidance display assymbols or as detailed text on theTMC messages menu.To be able to use TMC trafficinformation, the system has to receiveTMC stations in the relevant region.Dynamic route guidance only works iftraffic information is received via theTMC traffic information system.The dynamic route guidance functioncan be deactivated in the Navigationoptions menu, see section"Guidance" 3 85.

Map dataAll required map data is stored on anSD card provided with theInfotainment system.Detailed descriptions on map SD cardhandling and replacement, seesection "Maps" 3 94

Exporting and importing POIdata

Introductory explanationsTypes of POI dataThe Infotainment system provides thefollowing types of points of interestdata:■ Predefined Points of Interest stored

on the map SD card and indicatedby icons on the map display.You can store such predefinedPOIs in the address book or asindividual POIs in the myPOIs

memory of the Infotainmentsystem, see below.

■ Favourite destination addressesthat were stored in the Addressbook.You can export these address bookdata to a USB drive for later use,e.g., in other cars.

■ Individual POIs: favouritedestination addresses that werestored in the myPOIs memory.You can export these individualPOI data to a USB drive for lateruse, e.g., in other cars.

■ User defined POIs: favouritedestination addresses that youdefined via GPS coordinates(taken, e.g., from a topographicalmap) and that you entered into textfiles.You can store these user definedPOI data on a USB drive and laterimport the data to the myPOIsmemory of the Infotainmentsystem, see below.

62 Navigation

■ Imported POIs: favouritedestination addresses that werepreviously stored on a USB driveand then imported to the myPOIsmemory of the Infotainmentsystem.

Advantages of POI export and importThe export and import of points ofinterest data offer you, e.g., thefollowing advantages:■ Define and store your favourite

destination addresses only once,and later use these address data inother cars.See "Exporting and importingindividual POIs and address bookentries" below.

■ Define your favourite destinationaddresses conveniently at home,and later use them in your car.See "Creating and importing userdefined POIs" below.

■ Clearly arrange a large amount ofdestination addresses, e.g.,favourite destination addresses ofother family members ordestination addresses for your next

journey or business trip in separatesubmenus.See "Organizing the POI data inseveral subfolders" below.

Exporting and importing individualPOIs and address book entriesBrief description:1. Connect a USB drive to the USB

port of your car's Infotainmentsystem.

2. Store (export) your favouritedestination addresses on the USBdrive.

3. Connect the USB drive to the USBport of a car equipped with a Navi600 or Navi 900 system.

4. Download (import) the addressdata to the car's Infotainmentsystem.

After the import, the addresses canbe selected as destinations for routeguidance.Detailed descriptions see below.

Exporting POI data to a USB driveConnect a USB drive to the USB portof the Infotainment system, seechapter "USB port" 3 48.Press the CONFIG button, selectNavigation settings and then selectExport POIs.The Export POIs menu is displayed.

By default all individual POIs stored inthe myPOIs memory and all addressbook entries will be exported.If desired, deselect the address datatypes that you do not want to beexported.

Navigation 63

Select Start export to store theaddress data of the selected type(s)on the connected USB drive.The address data will be stored ina folder named myPOIs that islocated in the root directory of theUSB drive.For each exported POI category, e.g.Restaurant or Private, you will finda correspondingly named file in thatfolder.Examples:F:\myPOIs\Restaurant_3.poi orF:\myPOIs\Private_1.poi, where F:\ isthe root directory of the USB drive.NoteIf files with POI data of the samecategory are already stored on theUSB drive in the myPOIs folder,these old file versions will beoverwritten by equally named newfile versions.The folder myPOIs and the files withPOI data should not be renamed ormoved into another folder on theUSB drive. Otherwise theInfotainment system will not be ableto import the address data again.

Importing POI data from a USB driveConnect a USB drive with POI datastored on it (details see above) to theUSB port of the Infotainment system,see section "USB port" 3 48.To start the import: press theCONFIG button, select Navigationsettings, select Import individualPOIs and then select Continue.All POI data stored on the USB driveis imported to the myPOIs memory ofthe Infotainment system.After the import is finished, theimported POIs are selectable asdestinations via the Enterdestination menu, see chapter"Destination input" 3 67.

Creating and importing user definedPOIsUser defined points of interest needto be defined via GPS coordinatesthat can be taken, e.g., froma topographical map.The GPS coordinates and furtheraddress data need to be entered intotext files, each file representing a POIcategory.

Brief description:1. Create the text files for the POI

data.2. Enter the desired address data

into the text files.3. Store the text files with your POI

data on a USB drive.4. Connect the USB drive to the USB

port of your car's Infotainmentsystem.

5. Download (import) the text fileswith your POI data to theInfotainment system.

After the import, the addresses canbe selected as destinations for routeguidance.Detailed descriptions see below.Creating the text files for POI dataYou can assign your favouritedestination addresses to 20 differentPOI categories, with each POIcategory assigned a number, see"POI categories and assignednumbers" below.For each POI category you need tocreate a separate text file.

64 Navigation

The text files can be created, e.g., byusing a simple text editor software.NoteThe text editor must support theUTF-8 character encoding forUnicode.

Each text file name need to consist ofthe category name, a singleunderscore, the category's numberand the file extension .poi.Example file names:■ Business_2.poi■ Home & Living_8.poi■ Culture_15.poiNoteThe length of the text file names islimited to 32 characters.

POI categories and assignednumbers:(1) Private, (2) Business, (3)Restaurant, (4) Hotel, (5)Automotive, (6) Travel, (7) Cinema,(8) Home & Living, (9) Shopping, (10)Craft, (11) Sport, (12) Sight, (13)Health care, (14) Leisure, (15)Culture, (16) Nightlife, (17)

Communication, (18) News &broking, (19) Government office, (20)General.Entering POI data into the text filesThe image below shows a sampletext file named Home & Living_8.poiwith some sample POI data:

The POI data need to be entered intothe text files in the following format:Longitude coordinate, Latitudecoordinate, "Name of POI", "Anyadditional information", "Phonenumber (optional)"

Example: 7.0350000, 50.6318040,"Michaels Home", "Bonn - Hellweg 6","02379234567", see image above.The GPS coordinates need to beexpressed in decimal degrees.The maximum length of the POI nameis 60 characters. The same applies tothe additional information string andthe phone number string.The POI data of each destinationaddress need to be entered in a singleseparate line, see image above.Storing the text files on a USB driveThe text files with POI data need to bestored in a folder named myPOIs thatis located in the root directory of theUSB drive.Example: F:\myPOIs\Home &Living_8.poi, where F:\ is the rootdirectory of the USB drive.After importing the individual POIdata to the Infotainment system (seeimport description further below), theImported POIs menu will show a listof selectable POI categories like thefollowing:

Speech recognition

General information ................... 100Navigation control ...................... 101Phone control ............................ 110

General informationThe speech recognition of theInfotainment system enables you tooperate various functions of thenavigation system (only Navi 900;inclusive audio system features) andthe phone portal via voice input. Itrecognises commands and numericsequences independently of therelevant speaker. The commandsand numeric sequences can bespoken without a voice pausebetween the individual words.You can save destination addresses,radio stations and telephone numbersassigning a name of your choice(voice tag). Using these names, youcan later set the destination addressfor an upcoming trip, select a radiostation or set up a telephoneconnection.In the event of incorrect operation orcommands the speech recognitiongives you visual and/or acousticfeedback and requests you to re-enter the desired command. Apart

from this, the speech recognitionacknowledges important commandsand will enquire if necessary.To ensure that conversations insidethe vehicle do not lead tounintentional triggering of systemfunctions, the speech recognitiondoes not start until it has beenactivated.

Important notes on languagesupport■ Not all languages available for the

display of the Infotainment systemare also available for the speechrecognition.

■ Not all languages available for thespeech recognition of the phoneportal are also available for thespeech recognition of thenavigation system (inclusive audiosystem features).

■ Speech recognition of the phoneportal: if the currently selectedlanguage for the display is notsupported by the speechrecognition, you need to enter thevoice commands in English.

Speech recognition 101

To be able to enter voicecommands in English, you firstneed to activate the phone mainmenu by pressing the PHONEbutton on the Infotainment system,and then activate the speechrecognition of the phone portal bypressing the button w on thesteering wheel.

■ Speech recognition of thenavigation system: if the currentlyselected language for the display isnot supported by the speechrecognition, speech recognition willnot be available.In such a case you need to selectanother language for the display ifyou want to control the Infotainmentsystem via voice commands:Press the CONFIG button, selectthe Languages menu item and thenselect, e.g, English.As the English language is one ofthe languages supported by thespeech recognition of thenavigation system, speechrecognition will then be available.

NoteIf you change the language shownon the Infotainment system'sdisplay, all names currentlyassigned to preset stations and/ordestination addresses will bedeleted.

Navigation controlGeneral informationThe speech recognition of thenavigation system (only Navi 900;inclusive audio system features) onlyworks if a map SD card with speechrecognition data is inserted 3 94.Navigation-related voice commandsare not available until the initialdisclaimer message has beenconfirmed.

Activating speech recognitionPress the button w on the steeringwheel.The audio system mutes, a voiceoutput message prompts you to saya command, and a help menu with the

most important commands currentlyavailable is shown on the display, see"Help menus" further below.As soon as the speech recognition isready for voice input, a beep is heardand the red coloured symbol in theupper right corner of the help menuchanges to grey colour.You can now say a voice command todirectly initiate a system function (likeplaying a preset radio station), or tostart a dialogue sequence withseveral dialogue steps (like enteringa destination address), see"Operation via voice commands"further below.After a dialogue sequence is finished,the speech recognition is deactivatedautomatically. To initiate anotherdialogue sequence, you need toactivate the speech recognitionagain.

Adjusting the volume for voiceoutput messagesTurn the volume knob on theInfotainment system, or press the + or― button on the steering wheel.

102 Speech recognition

Cancelling a dialogue sequenceThere are various possibilities todeactivate the speech recognitionand to cancel a dialogue sequence:■ Press the button x on the steering

wheel or any button on theInfotainment system.

■ Press and hold the button w on thesteering wheel for a few seconds.

■ Say "Cancel".In the following situations a dialoguesequence is automatically cancelled:■ If you do not say any commands for

some time (by default you areprompted three times to saya command).

■ If you say commands that are notrecognized by the system (bydefault you are prompted threetimes to say a correct command).

Breaking up a running voiceoutput messageAs an experienced user you canbreak up a running voice outputmessage by (short) pressing thebutton w on the steering wheel.

Afterwards, the current dialoguesequence will be continuedautomatically.

Important notes on voice input■ If experiencing difficulty with the

system recognizing a command,confirm that the command iscorrect. Try saying the commandclearly or wait for a brief momentafter the beep.

■ Background noise such asa climate control fan positioned onhigh, open windows, and very loudoutside noises, even if the windowsare closed, can cause voicecommands to be misunderstood

■ The speech recognition onlyrecognizes commands based onthe language currently selected forthe Infotainment display.

Visual and acoustic helpAfter activating speech recognition,you are guided through a dialoguesequence via help menus, voiceoutput messages and on-screenmessages.

Help menusDependent on the currently activemode of operation (radio, CD player,navigation etc.), a help menu with themost important available voicecommands is displayed.Example: Radio help menusIf the radio mode is currently active,the radio help menu (part 1) shownbelow is displayed.

As soon as you hear a beep and thesymbol in the upper left corner of thehelp menu (see image above) haschanged its colour from red to grey,you can say one of the followingcommands:

Speech recognition 103

■ One of the commands shown onthe help menu.

■ One of the additional commandsavailable for the radio mode, seeimage below.To display these additionalcommands say "More help". Theradio help menu (part 2) shownbelow is displayed.

■ One of the main commands for thespeech recognition, see imagebelow.

Example: General help menu (maincommands)The general help menu primarilyshows the commands required tochange to another mode of operation,e.g., to change from the radio modeto the CD player mode.To display the general help menu,say "General help".

Important notes on commands■ Some command words displayed

on the help menus are optional.Example: when using thecommand "Frequency<87.5..108.0> MHz", you can leaveout "MHz".

You can simply try out if there areshortened variants available forcertain commands.

■ For each command shown on thehelp menus various synonymouscommand variants are available.Example: instead of saying "Showstation list" you could alsosay "Show stations" or "Displaystations".You can simply try out if there aresynonymous command variantsavailable that suit you more thanthe displayed default variants.

■ Slashes "/" separate severalcommands on a single help menuline. In some cases you need tocombine command words on bothsides of a slash.Example: "Start / Stop guidance". Insuch case, you need to say,e.g., "Start guidance". "Start" on itsown would not be a valid command.

■ Pointed brackets "< ... >" indicateplaceholder text.Example: when you want to use thecommand "Frequency

104 Speech recognition

<87.5..108.0>", you need toexchange "<87.5..108.0>" fora specific figure between 87.5 and108.0. You could say,e.g., "Frequency 96 dot 3".

Help messagesYou can induce the system to readout all voice commands currentlyavailable.After saying the command:■ "Help": the system reads out the

most important commandsavailable for the currently activemode of operation.

■ "More help": the system reads outall additional commands availablefor the currently active mode ofoperation.

■ "General help": the system readsout all main commands, see "Mainhelp menu" above.

Lists with selectable itemsDuring dialogue sequences you areoften prompted to select an item (e.g.a preset radio station or a city name)from a list.

Example: Autostore lists

To select an item from such a list, youonly need to say the number in frontof the desired list item, e.g. "5".In most cases there are several"pages" of list entries available. Toswitch from one "page" to another,you need to say "Next" or "Previous".On each page the list items arenumbered from "1." to "6." (noconsecutive numbering).

On-screen messages and acousticprompts / feedbackDuring dialogue sequences you areoften prompted via on-screenmessages (see image below) andvoice output messages, which kind ofcommand you need to say next.Example: Storing a radio stationusing a name

If the radio mode is active and you saythe command "Add station name", theon-screen message shown above willbe displayed, and the voice outputmessage "Please say the stationname." be announced by the system.

Speech recognition 105

As soon as you hear a beep and thesymbol in the upper left corner of theon-screen message (see imageabove) has changed its colour fromred to grey, you can say the desiredname.After saying the name, the systemgives you visual and acousticfeedback, stating wether thecommand could be successfullyperformed or not.

The address data of the lastcalculated destination is used asbasis for address input.

108 Speech recognition

NoteThe last calculated destinationpossibly has no valid addresselements available that can be usedas basis for address input via voicecommands.For example, not all points of intereststored on the map SD card ordestinations picked from the mapdisplay (see chapter "Navigation")provide the required valid addressdata.In such cases an empty orincompletely filled out menu foraddress input will be displayed.

Situation: the entire address data ofthe last calculated destination isavailable, the user needs to changeonly the street name and the housenumber to create the desired newdestination address.User: "Street".System: "What is the name of thestreet?".User: says the desired street name.

System: displays an alphabeticallyordered list of street names thatsound similar to the name the usersaid.NoteIf the list of street names does notcontain the desired street name, youcan say "Spell". Aftera corresponding voice outputmessage, you can then enter thestreet name by spelling it, e.g. "M""A" "I" "N" "S" "T" "R" "E" "E" "T".

User: says the number of the line thatcontains the desired street name,e.g. "4".System: displays the selected streetname on the menu for address input.User: "Number".System: "Which street number do youwant to drive to?".User: "17".System: displays the entered housenumber on the menu for addressinput.User: the user can now say "Startguidance" to start route guidance tothe displayed address, or say "Store

destination" to store the displayedaddress in the address book ormyPOIs memory, see chapter"Navigation".Address input for destinations inforeign countriesIn case you want to enter the addressof a destination located in a foreigncountry, you need to spell the desiredcity name and street name.Example: the display language of theInfotainment system is currently set toEnglish and you want to enter thename of a city located in Germany.In such case the system prompts youto spell the city name.If a language-specific special letter(e.g. "Ü" or "Ñ") is not available for thecurrently selected display language,you need to use the closest letter ofthe alphabet the currently selecteddisplay language provides (e.g. "U" or"N"). The match to the special letterwill then be done automatically by thesystem. Hyphens or spaces need notto be entered/spelled.

Speech recognition 109

Example: the language of theInfotainment system is set to English,Country is set to "GERMANY (D)",and you want to enter the cityname "BAD MÜNDER".When spelling the city name, you canomit the space and replace thespecial German letter "Ü" by an "U".User: "City".System: "Please spell the city name.".User: "B" "A" "D" "M" "U" "N" "D" "E""R".System: displays a list with the bestmatches, e.g.:"1. BAD MÜNDER""2. BAD MÜNSTER""3. ..." etc.User: "1" (or "Yes").System: sets City to BAD MÜNDER.Assigning a name to a destinationaddressYou can assign names to a maximumof 20 destination addresses stored inthe address book.

Afterwards you can select one ofthese destination addresses bysimply saying the assigned name.User: manually selects an address inthe address book, see section"Destination input" above.System: displays the Navigationmenu.User: manually selects the Edit menuitem.System: displays the Edit menu.User: manually selects the Addname menu item.System: "Please say the destinationname."User: can say an arbitrary name.The regarding destination addresscan be selected now at any time bysimply saying the assignedname: "Navigate to <name>".NoteIf you delete an address from theaddress book, a name (voice tag)possibly assigned to this addresswill also be deleted.

NoteIf you change the language shownon the Infotainment system'sdisplay, all names currentlyassigned to preset stations and/ordestination addresses will bedeleted.
