Audio AUX mode
Notes on audio AUX mode
External audio sources may have different
volumes, which can mean that system mes-
sages such as traffic announcements and
navigation system announcements are much
louder. If necessary, deactivate the system
messages or adjust their volume manually.
You can connect an external audio source
(AUX) to COMAND.
Depending on the vehicle model series the
connection is made via a jack in the storage
compartment in the center console or via the
USB port (Y page 191).
If COMAND is equipped with the Media Inter-
face, external audio sources are connected
using the cable set provided. An AUX socket
is not provided. The connections for the
Media Interface are located in the stowage
compartment in the center console.
