Navigation/Entertainment - Mercedes-Benz 212 Sedan E-Class Service Manual

Navigation
The launch of the Telematics Generation 4 also sees
the introduction of new and extended functions in the
field of navigation. Through the use of read-only
memory and hard disk storage, navigation with the
Audio 50 APS and COMAND APS is now significantly
faster than before.
The two audio units allow the user to select a destina-
tion via special points of interest. Navigation instruc-
tions are given by means of high-quality voice output
and a 2D map display (Audio 50 APS) or by a gener-
ated 3D representation (COMAND APS) with road sign
information on freeways, intersection zoom, lane
recommendations and direction arrows in the instru-
ment cluster.
The range to destination and expected arrival time are
also displayed.
It is also possible to choose routes avoiding toll roads
and to display symbols for refueling stations, restau-
rants and car parks en route.
The COMAND APS unit features the following innova-
tions in the field of navigation:
• Graphic selection of traffic jam symbols on the
map
• Topographical map
• Representation of selected buildings as images on
the map
• Map locations can be set as waypoints

Entertainment
MusicRegister
With its integral hard disk, the COMAND APS unit is
capable of saving files in MP3 format and storing them
in specific locations via a MusicRegister. The files can
be transferred from a CD / DVD or a PCMCIA card onto
the hard drive and played back via the MusicRegister.
With the functionality of the MusicRegister, informa-
tion about artists, track names, track lengths and
music genre can be found on the "Gracenote" data-
base and displayed on the 7" display.
AUX IN jack
Regardless of the audio unit fitted, an AUX IN jack is
installed in the glove compartment as standard. This
can be used to connect external devices (e.g. MP3
player) with the audio system of the vehicle.
i Note
The AUX IN jack in the glove compartment is
omitted in vehicles with the media interface
special equipment, code (518).
