SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-

Different content is seen depending on your
perspective when viewing the display.
The "Navi" 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 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 youro
wn headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
remote control to operate them. Points to remember
R You can only adjus tthe 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 You can only operate media from the
driver's and front-passenger sides
separately if the media are from different
sources. Example: if a medium from the
DVD changer is being played on the driver's
side. Then, no other medium can be used
separately on the front-passenger side that
is also played from the DVD changer.
However, other media can be used at the
same time on the front-passenger side,
including radio, memory card, MUSIC
REGISTER, Media Interface, USB or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective
settings.
R Internet use is only available at any one
time to the driver or the front passenger.
Ac orresponding message appears on the
display.
R Internet can only be used, if it is set and
connected via a telephone on the driver's
side.
R The multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side. 38
