Installation And Operation Of Two-Way Radios With A Transmitting Power Above 10 Watts; Mobile Telephones Or Portable Two-Way Radios Without Separate External Aerial; Transmitting Power And Aerial Fitting Locations - Volkswagen Passat 2011 Workshop Manual

1.4 Installation and operation of two-way ra‐
dios with a transmitting power above 10
watts
Installation and operation of two-way radios with a transmitting
power above 10 watts is only permissible under the following
conditions:
• The transmitting power at the point of the aerial base (see unit
manufacturer's specifications) must not exceed the relevant
maximum values.
• No deviation from aerial locations listed in the table is permit‐
ted.

1.5 Mobile telephones or portable two-way
radios without separate external aerial
♦ Remote controls (e.g. garage door opener) and wireless de‐
vices (e.g. keyboard) may only be used in the vehicle if the
transmitted output is max. 100 mW.
♦ An "e identification" is required for mobile two-way radios (ap‐
plies for Europe only).
♦ Mobile telephones or other transmitting equipment (business
equipment) which are not original vehicle equipment parts
must have "CE identification" (applies to Europe only).
♦ It is absolutely necessary to observe the manufacturer's op‐
erating and installation instructions for mobile phones, two-
way radios and aerials.
♦ The optimum unit range can be attained only by using an ex‐
ternal aerial.
♦ When telephone and two-way radio systems are properly in‐
stalled, there is no danger to safety systems like, for example,
ABS or airbags. However, it is a prerequisite that there has
been no modification of their installation. Routing wiring par‐
allel to such systems must be avoided.
♦ When mobile telephones or two-way radios are used, exces‐
sive electromagnetic fields may occur in the vehicle interior
whether or not the external aerial has been properly installed.
In this case, detrimental effects to health as well as malfunctions
of vehicle electronics cannot be ruled out.

Installation of aerials on bumpers is now prohibited by law. This
improves pedestrian protection during accidents.
