Audio mode
Playback of external media connected by Bluetooth ®
Bluetooth Audio mode is only available if the vehicle is equipped with a fac-
tory-fitted mobile phone preparation that supports this function. Please re-
fer to the relevant operating manual supplied with the vehicle for informa-
tion on operating the mobile phone preparation ⇒ Booklet Mobile phone
preparation.
The external media player (e.g. a mobile phone) must be compatible with
the Bluetooth
®
A2DP or AVRCP profiles.
In Bluetooth audio mode, audio files from a media player that is connected
via Bluetooth ®
can be played over the vehicle speakers.
Bluetooth Audio mode is indicated by BT-AUDIO or BLUETOOTH-AUDIO on the
display.

Bluetooth interface of the mobile phone preparation as described in the in-
structions ⇒ Booklet Mobile phone preparation.
● Lower the basic volume of the radio ⇒ page 10.
● Start playback in the external media player.
Playing through the vehicle loudspeakers
After starting, the procedure to transfer audio files depends on whether the
BLUETOOTH-AUDIO option is ON or OFF in the SETUP menu ⇒ page 40.
SETUP: BLUETOOTH-AUDIO OFF (default): ● After starting the Bluetooth audio transfer, a query is displayed to play
Bluetooth audio.
● Confirm the query.

After starting the Bluetooth audio transfer, you must change manually to
BLUETOOTH-AUDIO ⇒ page 26.Note
● Do not connect an external media player at the same time to play music
via Bluetooth and via the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface as this could cause
playback limitations.
● When the external media has finished playing, the radio system remains
in the BLUETOOTH-AUDIO menu.
● The warning and service sounds of a connected Bluetooth audio source,
e.g. the keytones on a mobile phone, must be disconnected to avoid any
operating interference and abnormalities.

ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY : Define the setting for automatic sta-
tion tracking.
ON: The unit always switches to the radio station's frequency that
offers the best reception as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. As a result, regional programmes may be interrupted.
OFF: No frequency change takes place. The unit remains tuned to
the selected frequency until reception is lost. RDS REG
is no longer available in the SETUP menu.RDS REGb)c) RDS REGIONAL : Define the setting for automatic station track-
ing.
AUTO: The unit always switches to the radio station's frequency that
offers the best reception as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. As a result, regional programmes may be interrupted.
FIX: The unit only changes to regional alternative frequencies for
the current station broadcasting the same regional service. The radio
will accept the frequencies of other stations, only when the reception
quality is very poor.
RADIOTEXT: Some RDS-compatible and DAB stations broadcast additional
text information. The individual radio station is responsible for the texts
displayed.

the reception is strong enough, radio text is displayed in the centre
line of the screen (if necessary as scrolling text) instead of the station
name.

Adjusting the output volume ( AUX/MDI VOLUME LEVEL)
If you need to increase the output volume for the external audio source, first
lower the base volume on the radio system ⇒ page 11.
If the sound from the external audio source is too low, if possible, increase
the output volume on the external audio source. If this is not sufficient, set
the input volume (AUX VOL LEVEL) in the system settings to level 2 or level 3.
If the sound from the connected external audio source is too loud or distor-
ted, if possible, lower the output volume on the external audio source. If
this is not sufficient, set AUX VOL LEVEL to level 2 or level 1.
Speed-dependent volume adjustment
The GALA function automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speed
of the vehicle.
You can set the degree to which the volume increases with speed on a scale
between 1 and 7.
