SPLITVIEW
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 con-
trol from the front-passenger side.
To do so, use the special cordless head-
phones (
Ypage 486). 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
RYou can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the head-
phones.
ROnly entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
RDifferent 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 single DVD drive is being
played on the driver's side, then another
medium that is also played from the single
DVD drive 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.
RIf you use the same medium on both sides, you can both carry out the respective set-
tings.
RInternet use is only available at any one
time to the driver or the front passenger.
A corresponding message appears on the
display.
RInternet can only be used, if it is set and
connected via a telephone on the driver's
side.
RThe multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side.
