Method of operation
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side.
Different content is seen depending on your
perspective when viewing the display. The navigation function, for example, can be
used from the driver's side while a video is
watched from the front-passenger side.
SPLITVIEW is operated with the COMAND
remote control from the front-passenger
side.
To do so, use the special radio headphones.
Using the headphones on the correct sides
ensures an optimal sound.
You can connect your own headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
COMAND remote control to operate them.
Points to remember
R You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the
headphones.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
R Videos cannot be shown on the driver's
side while the vehicle is in motion.
R If media from different sources are used,
these can be used separately from the
driver's and front-passenger sides.
Example: if a medium from the DVD
changer is being played on the driver's side.
then another medium that is also played
from the DVD changer cannot be played
separately on the front-passenger side.
However, other media can be used on the
front-passenger side at the same time,
including the radio, memory card, MEDIA
REGISTER, Media Interface, USB or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective
settings. The "last one wins" principle
applies here, i.e. the last setting activated
is favored.
R The Internet can be separately used by both
the driver and front passenger at the same
time.
R Internet can only be used if it is set and
connected via a mobile phone on the
driver's side. SPLITVIEW

You can access various types of media from
all operating positions in the vehicle.

from the DVD drive is played on the rear
right-hand operating position. This means
that another film from the same DVD
cannot be played separately on the rear
left-hand operating position. However, it is
possible to use the radio, memory card,
MUSIC REGISTER, Media Interface, USB,
online and Internet functions or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective
settings. The "last one wins" principle applies here, i.e. the last setting activated
