Destination entry
Destination input is performed menu-guided on the operating unit and processed by the navigation processor .
Only destinations that are also on the CD-ROM may be entered. The COMAND operating, display and
control module (A40/3) provides the following destination input capabilities:
Address...
Destination memory...
Destination using map...
Special destinations (e.g. railway station, airport etc.)
Travel guide...
Intermediate destination entry
Destination memory with individual destination designation capabilities
Final destination...
Dynamic route calculation by:
Blocking of route sections (traffic-jam function)
Traffic-jam ahead
Blocking in route list
Incorporation of traffic information of an external service provider via telephone TCS (once, cyclic every
t=15min. ). Chargeable services.
Incorporation of traffic information via RDS broadcast (TMC ), free of charge
Predictive speller (editor)
During the entry of the destination the missing letters are augmented for an available list. This is only active in
the political index and relates to the destination and road entry as part of the destination finding. In the menu
Special destinations the submenus" Bypassing other locations... " and "National destinations... "are assisted.
The "Supraregional destination... " menu is divided up into additional submenues. The individual menu
points in this submenu use the political index .
Dynamic addition
implemented during manual entry of the destination. During the entry of the destination the missing letters are
augmented for an available list. The added letters are highlighted in black. Deleting is done one character at a
time.

COMAND continuously calculates the location of the vehicle with the aid of the following procedures:
GPS position finding
Basic position finding (compound position finding)
Map-supported position finding (map matching)
The navigation computer calculates the most probable position by continuously comparing the position-
finding results returned by these three methods.
Route calculation
The route is calculated by the navigation processor after entering the destination, or automatically, after a
deviation from the suggested route has taken place.
In the dynamic destination-finding system the route calculation is automatically influenced by the
incorporation of traffic information, free of charge via RDS, TMC or over an external provider TCS by
telephone (chargeable).
The calculated route is stored in the navigation processor .
Destination-finding system
Destination finding is started once the navigation computer has performed the destination calculation.
Three display options are available for graphical representation of the destination-finding system:
1. with map
2. with map and symbol display before turn-off point
--> MIX mode
3. with symbol display only (route guidance symbols)
Any of the three methods can be used. The destination-finding system is also supported by voice output from
the vehicle loudspeakers.

A new request is selected in the basic screen " SVC ":
"Send New Request for Info Service "
or optionally:
"View Info Service of..."
allows a previous data record to be viewed.
Selection is possible with the knob/pushbutton on the radio and navigation module (A2/56) and confirmed by
pressing. If" Send New Request for Info Service " is selected, the radio and navigation module (A2/56)
transmits this request via the digital data bus ( D2B ) to the E-call control module (A35/8) and CTEL
transmitter/receiver (A35) . It transmits the request to the service provider via the present telephone network.
The request is processed on the Internet on the basis of the personal information profile and sent to the vehicle
via the telephone network.
A tone and the message:" New Info Received! " indicates reception to the user. The safety question:" Read
Later When Stopped? " with the decision " Yes " or "No " serves for traffic safety.
Selecting:" Yes " leads to a return to the previous menu such as radio, CD, navigation......
Selecting:" No " lists the news according to the personal interest profile.
The messages can be read in sequence. Pressing the knob/ pushbutton button on the radio and navigation
module (A2/56) jumps to the next news item. Turning the knob/pushbutton on the radio and navigation
module (A2/56) scrolls the news. With the" BACK " button on the radio and navigation module (A2/56) it is
always possible to jump back to the previous menu.
The information that is received can be read page by page. It is not possible to jump directly to a certain
page. The format can be changed by the operator.

System concept of information service:
The vehicle owner determines his own interest profile for service information such as world news or stock
exchange data. He transmits the desired information to the Mercedes Benz Customer Service. This profile is
indicated to the S ervice O peration Center (SOC ).
With the" SVC " button on the radio and navigation module (A2/56) it is possible to transmit an update
request for service information to the S ervice O perating C enter (SOC ).
In the S ervice O peration C enter (SOC ) this customer profile is used for selecting information. The desired
information is compiled by the information provider and transmitted to the vehicle via the S ervice O peration C
enter (SOC ).
The data transmitted is indicated on the display in the radio and navigation module (A2/56) .

ANTENNA SPLITTER, FUNCTION - GF82.85-P-3107-04B
Model 163 with code 353
The CTEL and GPS antenna splitter (A2/57) has the following functions:
Separating the signals received from the CTEL and GPS roof antenna (A2/49) :
The GSM and GPS signals are received by the antenna splitter via an antenna lead and leave the CTEL
and GPS antenna splitter (A2/57) via two separate coaxial cables. In addition the GPS signals are
amplified.
Decoupling the GPS receiver from the GSM telephone transmitter:
It must be ensured that the telephone transmitter signals do not reach the GPS receiver. The CTEL and
GPS antenna splitter (A2/57) allows them to pass only in the direction of the roof antenna.
