Map data.
The digitized map area on the CD-ROM contains towns, cities, streets, intersections and their attributes (e.g.:
one-way streets, turn prohibitions, ...). It does not contain information about company and private ground,
farms, housing estates and agricultural roads.
Gyrosensor
The gyrosensor determines the direction change of the vehicle. It is installed in the navigation processor .
Calibration is not required.

Preliminary remark
This description concerns mainly the audio, CTEL and navigation antenna system for vehicles fitted with
COMAND or radio and navigation unit (MCS).
General
The different antennas are matched in terms of design to their specific reception and transmitting ranges.
A distinction must be made between passive and active antennas:
Passive antennas do not require a voltage supply, they can therefore not directly amplify the radio signal
received.
Active antennas are supplied with voltage. They feature an integrated amplifier.
The voltage can be supplied over separate cables or over the coaxial cables over which the actual signals are
transmitted simultaneously ( phantom feed ) . In this case, no separate leads are required for the power
supply .

SOUND AMPLIFIER, FUNCTION - GF82.62-P-3100-04GH
The data interchange between the sound amplifier (A2/13) and the possible signal sources, e.g.:
Radio (A2) or
COMAND operating, display and control module (A40/3)
is performed via the digital databus (D2B ). Here, both the control information and the signals from the audio
sources (radio, CD, navigation voice command) are sent via the digital databus (D2B ).
Signal processing
In order to make the diverse sound settings possible, the sound amplifier (A2/13) is equipped with a D igital S
ignal P rocessor (DSP ), which performs the entire signal filtering process. In comparison to conventional

analog filters, digital filters contain the following significant advantages:
the filter parameters (sound settings) do not alter throughout the period, this thus means that all the
settings can be repeated exactly
low noise level
the component outlay is significantly reduced, as the filter parameters are set by the software and not by
varying component values (resistances, capacitances or inductance values), thus the number of possible
filter settings is increased
Sound optimizations
Each of the six amplifier channels is equipped with an individual compensation, which can, when requested,
rectify the vehicle's acoustics. In addition further sound optimization settings can be made and effects such as,
e.g. 'voice emphasizing' or 'stereoscopic sound' invoked.
Bass, treble, volume, balance, fader and the dynamic loudness function can be individually set.
Noise suppression
The output level of the six 6 output stages is constantly monitored and regulated such that distortion is kept to a
minimum.
Automatic Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC))
With the aid of the sound amplifier microphone (B25/6) , which is connected directly to the sound amplifier
(A2/13) , the noise level in the vehicle is measured. The volume of the music output signal is constantly adapted
to this noise level. To this end the sound amplifier (A2/13) must be able to detect which of the measured
signals are noise emissions from the moving vehicle and which are audio signals. This is conducted by
comparing the output signal of the sound amplifier (A2/13) with the measured signal.
Put simply, the vehicle noise level is the difference between the two signals.
Diagnosis
The sound amplifier (A2/13) can set up the following messages which are relevant for the diagnosis:
Operating status
Undervoltage
Internal fault in the sound amplifier (A2/13)
The messages are sent over the digital databus ( D2B ) to the COMAND operating, display and control
module (A40/3) or the radio (A2) , and can be read out there over the ( K-wire ) diagnostics line.

FM/AM ANTENNA AMPLIFIER, FUNCTION - GF82.62-P-4101-04GH
The radio signals are received by the rear window antenna (A2/32) and passed to the signal input of the
FM/AM amplifier (A2/18) . This amplifies the signals and passes them over a coaxial cable to the receiver of
the radio set of the audio unit.
