Method of operation
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side. Dif-
ferent content is seen depending on your per-
spective 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 your own headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
remote control to operate them. Points to remember
R You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the head-
phones.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
R Different media can be used on the driver
and front-passenger sides as long as they
use different media sources. 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 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 set-
tings.
R Internet use is only available at any one
time to the driver or the front passenger.
A corresponding 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
