CONNECT Nav+
9
The CONNECT Nav+ system main-
ly consists of the following:
– a keypad consisting of 30 push-but-
tons and 2 rotary encoders);
– remote controls on steering wheel
(8 push-buttons + 3 keys, where pro-
vided);
– electronics boxed in a properly
housing located inside the dashboard.
The interface is the multifunction in-
formation display for all the integrat-
ed components.Multifunction
information display
The system uses a graphic 7” 16/9
LCD 256-colour TFT display with a
resolution of 480 x 234 pixels.
The display brightness can be
changed depending on the environ-
ment conditions and the driver’s re-
quirements, storing two settings, day
and night, which are automatically set
to correspond with the turning on/off
of the external lights, if this has been
set in SETUP menu. GENERAL INFORMATION
The CONNECT Nav+ controls and
provides information for the following
systems and functions:
– GPS (Global Positioning System)
based navigation;
– Audio with RDS (Radio Data Sys-
tem) radio, MP3, CD and CD Changer;
– GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communication) based telephone
with WAP and SOS-call (emergency

the previous or next track.
Telephone (
ß6-fig. 2)
Button “
ß” allows telephone man-
agement.
Turning on of the function chosen is

ENTER button (i8-fig. 2)
This button is used to confirm the
previous selection made through but-
tons
RandE7 and 9.Screen icon keys
Screen icon keys are strictly con-
nected to the external front panel but-
tons. Icon keys are divided into:
– Upper keys: these keys are usual-
ly shown in column on the right side
of the screen. They can be selected by
rotating the encoder 14-fig. 1and
confirmed by pushing “ENTER” 15-
fig. 1.
– Bottom keys: these are located in
the lowest video section and are
switched on/off by the corresponding
buttons on the keypad 17-fig. 1.
These buttons are “multifunction”
since they change their function ac-
cording to the active menu. Selection buttons
(
RE7 and 9-fig. 2)
These buttons perform the same
functions of the encoder 14-fig. 1:
scroll the screen and allow item se-
lection.

At the screen bottom there are the
functions that can be activated by
pressing the corresponding multifunc-
tion keys 17-fig. 1, on the front pan-
el:
– FMactivates, on successive push-
es FM1, FM2, FM3, FMAST, FM1… ra-
dio bands in a loop.
– AMactivates, on successive push-
es MW, LW, AMAST, MW… radio
bands in a loop
– CD activates CD

– AUX, presetting for connection to
an external video source (not available
yet).
– Ùactivates/deactivates the MUTE
function (regardless of the selected au-
dio source).Tuning
This function seeks stations in the
chosen band.
Proceed as follows:
– select the frequency band (FM1,
FM2, FM3, MW, LW) pressing the
“SRC” key repeatedly 3-fig. 1;
– press key “
¯¯” 22-fig. 1or “˙˙”
18-fig. 1to start the automatic search
for tuning the next or previous station
that can be received.
If the “TA” function is on (traffic in-
formation), the tuner only seeks sta-
tions that broadcast traffic bulletins.
If the “PTY” function is on, the tuner
only seeks PTY stations.Manual station storage
The station being heard can be
stored in the range chosen with key-
pad buttons 17-fig. 1numbered from
“1” to “6” at the bottom of the main
screen.
Keep one of these keys pressed un-
til the display shows the number of the
key with which the station has been
stored; a confirmation beep will indi-

– With AF OFF the radio will not
tune the strongest station automati-
cally and it will have to be found man-
ually using the tuner buttons.
To turn the “AF-Alt. Freq.” function
on/off, select “AF-Alt. Freq.” icon by
encoder 14-fig. 1and then press
“ENTER” 15-fig. 1repeatedly.
When the AF function is on, the dis-
play shows “AF” and the symbol “✓”
is shown near the icon.
The RDS channel name (if available)
is still shown on the display.“RDS” FUNCTION
The “RDS” function enables/disables
RDS string (showing the tuned station
name) display.
To turn the “RDS” function on/off,
select the “RDS” function turning the
encoder 14-fig. 1and then press
“ENTER” 15-fig. 1.
When the “RDS” function is on, the
display shows the string with tuned
station name and the symbol “✓” is
shown near the corresponding icon. “AF-Alt. Freq.” FUNCTION
(SEEKING ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES)
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
– AF ON: alternative frequency
search on;
– AF OFF: alternative frequency
search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two cas-
es may occur:
– With AF ON the RDS system ac-
tivates automatic tuning of the opti-
mum frequency of the station chosen,
with the stations enabled, therefore
the radio is automatically tuned to the
station with the strongest signal that
is broadcasting the same programme.
During the journey it will thus be pos-
sible to continue listening to the sta-
tion chosen without having to change
the frequency when changing area. Of
course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the car
is crossing.
