® is connected, a special iPod selection menu is
displayed at the top selection level of the track view ⇒page 43, fig. 41. This
iPod selection menu always has the same structure and is operated in the
familiar way.
The music controls on the connected iPod

® are disabled.
The output volume of a connected iPod
® or iPhone
® should be adjusted to
the volume of the other audio sources ⇒ page 41.Possible error messages after connecting an external data medium
Note
External audio sources connected to the AUX socket of the MEDIA-IN interface
can be played through the radio and navigation system, but cannot be
controlled from there. To control the external audio source, please see the
manufacturer's instructions. As long as the external audio source is not
switched off, it will continue operating even if another source starts to play in
the radio and navigation system.
Note
The MDI symbol remains visible and on (highlighted in red), and therefore
accessible, as long as the “Activate AUX2 input” check box (Media setup
menu) is ticked. The option should be deactivated when playback has
finished.Error message

NavigationIntroduction to navigationIntroductionGeneral information
The current vehicle position is determined by means of the GPS system
(Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances
driven. The measurements are adapted using the detailed information given
in the navigation data medium ma ps and according to the programmed
traffic management. Where applicable, TMC traffic reports are included in the
calculation of routes ⇒ page 70. The navigation system uses these data to
determine an optimal route to the destination.
The destination is defined by entering an address or a point of interest, e.g.
apetrol station or hotel.
Navigation announcements and visual guidance on the navigation unit and
the instrument panel direct you to your destination ⇒page 63.
Depending on the country, some radio-navigation system functions can no
longer be selected when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed. This
is not a malfunction, but simply a legal requirement.
Navigation data
In normal circumstances, all the necessary navigation data is already stored
in the navigator. A memory card containing the navigation data can be
obtained from an Authorised Service to update this information ⇒page 48.
Additional Information:•Safety notes
’ ⇒ page 6
•Unit overview ⇒ page 8•Entering a destination ⇒page 52
•Destination memory ⇒page 58•Route guidance ⇒ page 63Note
Dirty or damaged navigation data media may lead to problems when copying
navigation information or even in the navigation itself. Store unused data
media in a suitable container or in the original box to protect them from
mechanical damage, heat, humidity or direct sunlight.Limitations of the navigation functionPossible errors in navigation
If the navigation system is not able to receive data from the GPS satellites
(dense vegetation, underground garage), it is still possible to navigate using
the vehicle sensory analysis.
In areas that are not or only partially digitised on the data medium
(e.g. insufficient definition of one-way streets and road categories), the navi-
gation system will still attempt to provide route guidance.
If navigation data are unavailable or incomplete, the navigation system may
be unable to determine the exact vehicle position. As a result, the navigation
may not be as exact as usual.
Navigation area and age of navigation data
The accuracy of the data (small villages, streets and house numbers)
depends on the respective version for the country.
Roads and streets are subject to constant change (e.g. new roads, changes to
street names and house numbers). After some time, navigation data will no

48longer be up-to-date. This may lead to inaccurate or incorrect route
guidance.Updating the internal navigation data memoryThe navigation data is already in the navigation data memory and can be
used directly ⇒page 48.
If the navigation database is updated, or if data from another country is over-
written, the former data will be erased and cannot be recovered.
Updating navigation data
A memory card containing updated navigation data can be obtained from an
Authorised Service.•Cancel the mechanical protection against overwriting in the memory card.•Inserting the memory card ⇒page 29. If the inserted memory card contains valid navigation data, a window opens
asking whether you wish to permanently allocate the memory card to the
radio navigation system.
Due to licensing legislation, when the copy has been completed, the memory
card will be allocated to this radio and navigation system and can
not be used
for other radio and navigation units.
•Press the function button to continue.
Information about the navigation data installed and available on the memory
card is displayed.•Press the function button to start copying the information.
No navigation functions are available during the copying process. The
copying process lasts approximately 2 hours.
Do not remove the memory card while the navigation data is being copied.
This could damage the memory card!
If the unit is switched off during the copying process, the process stops and
will start automatically when the unit is switched back on.
Starting the copying process manually
If the copying process does not start automatically after the memory card
containing valid navigation data has been inserted, the updating process can
be started manually.•Press the unit button.•Press the unit button.•Activate by turning and pressing the setting knob
