The optional digital radio enables you to
receive digitally broadcast radio stations
and features a DAB t win tuner. It auto -
matically switches bet ween digital and

Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. With a SIM inserted directly
into the integral SIM card reader of
CDR Plus or PCM, calls can be made
using the hands-free facilit y. For even
more convenience, the Bluetooth
®
capabilit y of a mobile phone can be used
to make calls via the SIM Access Profile
(SAP). Once the connection has been
established automatically, the mobile
phone’s aerial is switched off to conserve
battery charge and the phone operates
via the car aerial. Depending on the mobile phone model, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the SIM card,
but also to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using CDR Plus, PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control system, without
it ever leaving your pocket.
The telephone module also enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that support only the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established
through the aerial of the mobile phone.
CDR Plus or PCM acts as a hands-free
system and you can leave the mobile
phone tucked away.
On request, a Bluetooth
® handset for the
telephone module is also available.
Stored in the centre console, it features
a display and keypad. However, the
handset cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Handsfree
Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
Mobile phone preparation is available
as an option so that a Bluetooth®
connection can be established with those
mobile phones that support only the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). This function
also enables you to leave your mobile
phone tucked away. The CDR audio
system, CDR Plus and PCM are able to
control only the basic functions of the
mobile phone. The GSM connection
is established through the aerial of the
mobile phone.
