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

Features of your COMAND Online

and optional equipment for your COMAND
Online system, as available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences
are possible. Please note that your
COMAND Online system may not be equip-

Introduction i
Portable electronic devices in the vehicle
may seriously impair radio and DAB radio
reception.
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is an opti-
mised digital transmission standard designed
for the mobile reception of radio transmis-
sions. Several programmes are combined
into so-called ensembles and transmitted on
a single frequency. Digital radio stations can
be transmitted nationally, regionally or
locally.
Some stations only transmit programmes at
certain times. If you have selected a station
that has subsequently been removed from
the ensemble, it will no longer be received.
You will continue to receive the other pro-
grammes in the ensemble. You will then need
to select a different programme.
i DAB cannot be received everywhere in
Europe.

i Repeatedly pressing the

Radio Data System (RDS) General notes
The Radio Data System (RDS) provides inaud-
ible additional information in the FM wave-
band. The system consists of a listening
receiver and a monitoring receiver.
The monitoring receiver permanently scans
the FM waveband and collects certain data
from all receivable stations. This includes, for
instance, reception quality and RDS data
such as programme names and alternative
frequencies. COMAND Online stores the data and constantly updates the memory. The
audio receiver is therefore able to switch
automatically to an alternative frequency with
a better signal.
i RDS only functions for stations which
transmit RDS data.
Switching RDS on/off
You can use the Frequency fix (radio mode) or Station fix (DAB mode) functions to prevent
COMAND Online from switching between the
alternative frequencies of a station. This is
useful, for example, when the same content is broadcast with a time delay, or when there is
interference on one of the frequencies.

A device which is connected as an external
audio source may seem quieter or louder in
the vehicle, or the usual maximum volume
cannot be reached. On some devices, it is
possible to adjust the volume separately. In
this case, start at a medium volume and
increase it gradually. This enables you to
determine whether the system is able to play the music at high volume without distorting it. Video
