Models 163, 168, 170, 208, 209, 210 with code 353
Processing key signals
The controls on the radio (A2) are read in via I/O ports of the microcontroller and made available to the central
computer. Depending on the system function the button operations are processed further in the central computer
or conveyed via the Digital Data Bus (D2B) or interior CAN (CAN B) in the form of a data telegram to the
system components involved (e.g. CD changer).

The display of the radios (A2) has 197 x 32 pixels. Texts are displayed in 3 lines.
After particular functions are called (e.g. navigation), the bottom line shows a variable inscription for the row of
buttons underneath (multifunction buttons). As a result the system can be operated very conveniently with a few
buttons, as the function which is activated when the button is operated, is shown in plain text (e.g. LANG,
ITEM, DYN, CLOCK etc.).
Audio signal output
The audio signals of the various sources (CD, voice output for navigation etc.) are processed by the radio (A2)
and amplified before output by the vehicle speakers.
On models 168, 170, 208 and 210 with the sound system (code 810) the audio signals are finally amplified
by the amplifier for the sound system (N40/3). For this, the audio source data (low-frequency signals) are
transmitted to the amplifier for the sound system (N40/3) via separate lines.
On models 163 and 209 the final amplification of the audio signal is performed by the sound amplifier
(A2/13). All the data are transmitted via the D2B.
Audio mute
An incoming phone call activates the audio mute function (a separate signal input exists on the radio (A2) for
this). When the audio mute function is activated, the current audio source (e.g. radio) is muted automatically.
Navigation processor, GPS control module and gyrosensor
The navigation processor is the central component of the navigation system.
It is integrated into the radio (A2) and from the incoming signals continuously calculates the location and once
the destination is entered calculates the route for navigation. The GPS receiver is integrated into the navigation
processor. It evaluates the satellite signals and calculates from them the vehicle position in degrees longitude
and latitude. Various GPS antennae are used to receive these signals depending on the vehicle model:
Model 163: telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49)
Models 168, 208.3, 210: GPS antenna (A2/49a2)
Models 170, 208.4: GPS rear antenna (A2/23a2)
Model 209: GPS antenna (A2/23)
Reception from at least 3 satellites is necessary for exact GPS position calculation. A free view of the sky is
required for this purpose.
The integrated gyrosensor continuously senses every change in direction of the vehicle. Evaluation of this data
is accomplished by the navigation processor.
Calibration of the gyrosensor is not required.

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.
