RDS* and TP* radio data services (Traffic
Programme)
Introduction
The RDS (Radio Data System) offers additional information in FM such as the visualisation of the station name, automatic station tracking (Alternative
Frequencies), text emitted by radio (Radio Text) and traffic reports (TP).
Not all units have RDS, not all the FM stations offer this service and nor can the infrastructure of all the countries permit it.
Without RDS, it is not possible to obtain radio data services.
To guarantee the best reception in places where RDS is available for the stations tuned in, select the
following system settings
⇒ page 38:
● RDS ON
● ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY ON
● RDS REGIONAL AUTO
Depending on the unit some settings may not be selected.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes

DAB* radio mode
Function only available in Europe
Introduction
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is a digital broadcasting standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
Operation
DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III
(174 MHz - 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred to as “ channels” and each has a channel name (e.g.
12 A
).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services available in a station “ ensemble”.
Using these additional services additional information can be sent to the radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).
DAB is currently not available in all areas. In areas without DAB,
is displayed in DAB radio mode.
Settings can be made to display and play messages, to browse stations and
to browse traffic news stations (TP function)

Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage can render a data medium unusable. Please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers may lead to problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista
®
ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for recording. Compatibility with all encoding/recording software, recording devices and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible USB devices can make noise, interrupt playback or not playback at all. Information about the best ways to create audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.) can be found on the Internet.
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in a playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not stored on the data medium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
Playing order for audio data CDs
Fig. 14 Example of an
MP3 CD structure.
Audio files on data media are often sorted by folders and playlists to determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alphabetic or numeric order.
Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the sequence on the CD.

MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
Introduction
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface may be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manual to locate the position of the socket.
The supported file formats listed below are collectively referred to as “audio files”.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface can be played and controlled via the radio system.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means USB mass storage devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players, iPods™ and USB sticks. External data media are displayed as
MDI
(Media Device Interface) on the radio system.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of approximately 5 volts.

MEDIA-IN multimedia interface and AUX-IN multimedia socket
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface is often installed in combination with an
AUX-IN multimedia socket
⇒ page 28.
Notes and restrictions
Only audio files readable through the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface will be displayed, played and managed in the radio system.
In the case of MTP players, it may take a few minutes before the device is ready for playback – depending on the battery status and the quantity of data.
Audio mode 31
● When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it may take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be influenced by the connected device.
● WMA (Windows Media Audio) audio files can only be played if they are not protected by authors' rights with the DRM (Digital Rights Management) system.
● Generally, files with anti-copy protection cannot be played (e.g. M4P).
● It is not possible to play files in 3GP format or “WMA lossless” files.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a certain order of play. If a playlist cannot be played, check that the “relative paths” are correct, i.e. that the MP3 files on the data medium are actually stored at the locations referenced by the playlist.
If an external data medium is divided into several partitions, only the
first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.
Please refer to further limitations and notes on the requirements placed on media sources
⇒ page 21.
WARNING
