GF82.60-P-0005QMU Audio 20 Function


Component Identification:






The radio (A2) is the central control panel for the entertainment and communications systems integrated in the vehicle within the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST). One CD drive and one audio amplifier are integrated. The radio (A2) has an integrated screen to display information such as function key assignment, functions status, and operating menus.
The following functions can be operated:

^ Radio tuner
^ Audio amplifier
^ CD disk drive
^ Telephone system
^ Sound amplifier (A2/13)
^ CD player with changer (in glove compartment) (A2/6)
^ External devices (e.g. an MP3 player) via AUX jack (in glove box)

The radio (A2) can be operated via 2 main control panels, which are located on the left and right next to the display, as well as via rotary pushbutton, 1 cross-shaped rocker button and 4 buttons below the display.

Some functions can be activated using the left multifunction steering wheel button group (S110) and the right multifunction steering wheel button group (S111) of the multifunction steering wheel (MFL). Here one should note that all button actuations on the multifunction steering wheel are initially processed by the instrument cluster (A1). The instrument cluster (A1) links the incoming button operations with the current menu setting at the multifunction display (A1p13) and, as appropriate, transmits a message via the controller area network bus class B (interior) (CAN-B) to the radio (A2).
The digital components in the radio (A2) are linked to each other over the MOST. This data bus is used to transmit data (control commands and useful information) between the various system components. As the individual components work with different data formats and require different data exchange rates and security levels, different data bus systems have been installed.

Data bus systems installed in the vehicle include the following:
^ MOST
^ CAN-B
^ Local Interconnect Network (LIN)

The following conditions must be met for initial startup of the driver information system:
^ Circuit 15R ON
^ Vehicle voltage is 12 V
^ System check carried out without faults

System activation
If the rotary pushbutton is pressed, the radio (A2) is switched on. In each case the volume can be regulated with the pushbutton rotary switch for the audio source active. The function keys switch over to the audio source desired by the user. The radio (A2) is operated via:

^ permanently programmed function keys
^ Alphanumeric key block
^ eject button
^ programmable function keys
^ Combination push and rotary knob with integrated hands-free button
^ cross-shaped rocker switch with pushbutton
^ ON button
^ mute button
^ Display
^ Control buttons on the MFL

A remote control is not planned.

The radio (A2) controls the following components, if equipped:
^ CD player with changer (in glove compartment) (A2/6) (data exchange via MOST)
^ Universal Portable CTEL Interface (UPCI [UHI]) control unit (N123/1) (data exchange via MOST)
^ Sound amplifier (A2/13) (data exchange via MOST)
^ Voice control system control unit (A35/11) (data exchange via MOST)
^ Instrument cluster (A1) (data exchange via CAN-B)
^ An external analog audio source, which is connected to the radio (A2) via the AUX jack in the glove box. (Data exchange via a discrete line.)
^ SDAR control unit (N87/5) (data exchange via MOST)

Since modification year 07/1 the SDAR control unit (N87/5) (3rd generation) has been used, which is now also available for vehicles with code (460) Additional parts, Canadian vehicles. The SDAR control unit (N87/5) (3rd generation) differs from previous generations through the following features:
^ Shorter response times
^ Improved reception properties
^ Temperature and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) properties have been optimized

Read out errors with the aid of STAR DIAGNOSIS
The radio (A2) has its own diagnostic trouble code memory. When the fault memory is queried with STAR DIAGNOSIS, the data are transmitted by the MOST to the radio (A2), which forms the diagnostic gateway between MOST and CAN-B, and can then be read out at the data link connector (X11/4). Diagnosis is carried out from the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) via the CAN-B to the radio (A2).
