System Operation
In-car entertainment
The audio system is connected to the MS CAN
network and uses an internal amplifier which
directly drives the system speakers. It can only be
operated via the head unit and the radio remote
control. The head unit is connected to the vehicle
on the medium speed CAN bus. This allows the
unit to be interrogated for diagnostic purposes.
The automatic volume control (AVC) adjusts the
audio volume depending on the driving speed. The
audio device receives the necessary signals for
the ABS (anti-lock brake system) wheel sensors
from the instrument cluster on the MS-CAN. As
vehicle speed increases the audio level is adjusted
to compensate for extra road and vehicle noise.
Eight AVC settings are possible.
To choose the setting for automatic volume control,
press the MENU button until the AVC display
appears.
The required adjustment level is determined by the
Infotainment control unit based on the driving
speed signal. The vehicle speed signal is received
over the CAN. The signal is an average of the four
wheel speed sensor signals. Should an invalid
speed signal be received the AVC will not alter the
output volume.
AVC is controlled by the audio amplifier. Component Description
Vehicles with standard audio system
The standard audio system can only be used via
the head unit, the radio remote control and the
mobile electronic accessories module.

Programmable Module Installation
Activation
5.
Install the most up-to-date software version in
IDS.
6. If, before replacing a module, it was not possible
to read out the vehicle-specific data using the
integrated diagnostic system (IDS) (the module
to be replaced does not respond) then, during
programming of the new module, the
vehicle-specific data must be entered manually
via a selection list in IDS or via a code which
can be obtained from the Technical Hotline.
7. In order to program, select the "Install
programmable module" submenu in the "Module
programming" menu tool box and then follow
the instructions.
8. The following modules must be programmed
after replacement:
•
• Anti-lock braking system module (ABS)
• Audio system module (ACM)
• CD player (CDP)
• Driver's door control unit (D-DCU)
• Passenger's door control unit (P-DCU)
• Rear left door control unit (RL-DCU)
• Rear right door control unit (RR-DCU)
• Electrical power steering (EPS)
• Generic Display Module (GDM) (vehicles
with DVD navigation system with
touchscreen)
• Generic electronic module (GEM)
• Headlamp control module (HCM) (vehicles with gas discharge headlamps)
• Instrument cluster (IC)
• Navigation system (NAV) (vehicles with navigation system)
• Parking aid module(PAM)
• Powertrain control module (PCM)
• Restraint control module (RCM)
• Rear entertainment system module (RETM) (vehicles with rear seat entertainment
system)
9. In order to configure the PCM, select the
"Programmable parameters" submenu in the
"Module programming" menu tool box and then
follow the instructions.
10. For vehicles with anti-lock braking system and
electronic stability program, these must also be configured using IDS following replacement of
the lateral acceleration sensor, yaw rate sensor
or pressure sensor. Configuration is performed
in the "Programmable parameters" menu tool
box.
