In order to improve sound quality, acoustic
curves related to vehicle type are stored in the
concert II and symphony II radios.
The acoustic curves are set in the control unit
coding function of the radio systems.
In addition, the sound settings for the FM, AM
and CD modes are stored separately in the
concert II and symphony II radios. Conse-
quently, the various level controls do not
require resetting each time the driver
changes modes.

sor model include:
– Skip title function

The driver can set the starting time for the
recording of radio traffic news announce-
ments for the drive to work in the morning

rately.

Menu
Within the menu structure of the navigation

– switch the dynamic routing on and off,
– select the source of traffic information,
– manually exclude route sections from the
route planning.
For further information, please refer to the
operating instructions.
Travel Message Channel (TMC)
The TMC is a component of the Radio Data
System (RDS), which is transmitted by the
radio stations.
The information in the TMC includes the loca-
tion, type and duration of traffic hold-ups
reported by the police, automobile associa-
tions and government authorities in a coded
form standard throughout Europe.
The TMC data is not currently transmitted by
all radio stations.
This requires the use of a second tuner in the
radio or in the interface of the Navigation
System Plus.
As only the symphony II radio is equipped
with a second tuner, the use of TMC data for
dynamic routing is only possible with this
version.
Dynamic routing in conjunction with the
chorus II and concert II radios is only possible
by means of the traffic messages via tele-
phone with telematics
