best-possible reception, your mobile phone
should be connected to the vehicle's exterior aerial via the phone bracket (optional).
Bear in mind that a relatively large volume of
data can be transmitted when using the Inter- net radio. An average 128 kbit per second
data transfer rate can transfer 56 MB of data
in one hour. Online and Internet functions
