Internet radio
General notes
A good Internet connection is required to
transmit audio data efficiently. To ensure the
best-possible reception, your mobile phone
should be connected to the vehicle's exterior
antenna via the phone bracket (optional).
Bear in mind that a relatively large volume of data can be transmitted when using the Inter-
net radio. An average 128 kbit per second
data transfer rate can transfer 56 MB of data
in one hour.
The data transfer rate of a station is displayed while receiving data.
