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 navigation 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 COMAND
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
COMAND 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 Videos cannot be shown on the driver's
side while the vehicle is in motion.
R If media from different sources are used,
these can be used separately from the driv-
er's and front-passenger sides. Example: ifa 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 on the front-passenger
side at the same time, including the radio,
memory card, MEDIA 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. The "last one wins" principle applies SPLITVIEW

Media overview
You can access various types of media from
all operating positions in the vehicle.
The media can be connected to any jack or
inserted into the various drives.
R If media from different sources are used,
they can be used separately from each of
the operating positions. Example: a film
from the DVD drive is played on the rear
right-hand operating position. This means
that another film from the same DVD can- not be played separately on the rear left-
hand operating position. However, it is pos- sible to use the radio, memory card, MUSIC
REGISTER, Media Interface, USB, online
and Internet functions or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings. The "last one wins" principle applies
here, i.e. the last setting activated is
favored.
R The Internet can be used separately at all
operating positions.
R The Internet can only be used if it is set up
and connected via a telephone
(Y page 173).
