TP traffic news station function (Traffic Programme)
Fig. 10 Traffic news monitoring in Media mode.
The TP (Traffic Programme) function is not available for all versions.
When the radio version does not have the traffic news reception function,
no action is taken when the TP
button is pressed (
TP is not displayed in the
upper left of the screen).
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP ⇒ Fig. 9), traffic announce-
ments will interrupt the current Audio mode.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if a traffic news
station is available.
Some stations that do not broadcast their own traffic news support the TP
function through a link to a traffic news station (EON). Traffic announce-
ments broadcast by the linked traffic news station interrupt the current au-
dio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the unit button TP

⇒  Fig. 1 2.
If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TP
function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK). While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active,
TP is displayed at
the top left of the screen ⇒ Fig. 9.
● Press the TP
unit button to switch the TP function off again.
Activated TP function and station selection
In FM mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a station
selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TP
function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,
NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station search using the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 1 ⇒ page 11.
During a station search with the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch or the scan func-
tion (SCAN), the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
If you activate the TP function in areas where TP is not available, it will be-
gin to search for traffic news stations but it will not be able find any. The
search will finish on the last station you were listening to. The TP function
remains switched on (display: No TP). We recommend you deactivate the TP
function, otherwise in the next station search with the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker
switch no stations will be found.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will always
automatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided the
reception of said station is good. This procedure may take some time, de-
pending on the situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selected
traffic news station is displayed next to TP ⇒ Fig. 10.
In units with a DAB radio receiver, depending on the settings, the traffic an-
nouncements from a DAB traffic news station can be played ( DAB TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCEMENT ON  ⇒  page 52).
Reception of traffic announcements (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display: TP-INFO) will interrupt the active
Audio mode. 

External audio source connected to the AUX-IN multimedia
socket
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the multimedia socket AUX-IN may
be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manual to
locate the position of the socket.
The AUX-IN multimedia socket can only be used with a 3.5 mm jack plug.
The external audio source connected is indicated by the AUX

function button is displayed instead of the AUX function button
⇒  page 30.
An external audio source connected to the AUX-IN multimedia socket can
only be played when no external data medium is connected to the MEDIA-IN
multimedia interface.
The audio source of the devices connected in the MEDIA-IN device (USB as
AUX-IN) takes priority over those connected in the RSE. Where both options
are available, make sure that there is nothing connected in the MEDIA-IN*
connections when you wish to listen to the audio source of the RSE
( ⇒  Booklet Rear Seat Entertainment) in the car.
Note
● When playback on the external audio source is stopped or the plug is
disconnected from the AUX-IN multimedia socket, the radio-navigation sys-
tem remains in the AUX menu.
● Interference may be heard if the external audio source is powered from
the vehicle’s 12-volt socket. 

MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
Introduction
Depending on the version of the vehicle, the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface
may be in a different location. Please refer to the vehicle Instruction Manual

terface) on the radio system.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of ap-
proximately 5 volts.
