Antenna wires, repairing. Refer to → Electrical Equipment; Rep. Gr.97; Antenna Wires, Repairing.

Notes on Bluetooth technology

A standardized radio connection system is used to transmit data between the Information Electronics Control Module 1 -J794- and Telephone Handset -R37-/Cellular Telephone -R54- - Bluetooth Technology.

The range of the radio connection is approximately 10 m.

Notes on MOST Bus

The optical Data bus "MOST Bus" is used in addition to the CAN Bus.

A fiber-optic cable is used. Fiber optic cables are routed inside corrugated tubes for protection.

Replace complete fiber-optic cable if possible.

The front surface of the connectors must not be dirty.

If disconnecting the connectors: Attach Fiber-Optic Repair Set - Connector Protective Caps -VAS6223/9-.

When installing fiber-optic cables, make sure not to go below the minimum bending radius of 25 mm. Do not crush or kink fiber-optic cables.

Repairing fiber-optic cables. Refer to → Electrical Equipment General Information; Rep. Gr.97; Wiring Harness and Connector Repairs; Fiber-Optic Cables, Repairing.

Bluetooth Car Phone, 9ZW, through MY 2014

The Bluetooth car phone also supports the operation of Bluetooth Cellular Telephone -R54-. The Bluetooth Cellular Telephone -R54- does not have to be mounted in a bracket or be linked to the vehicle hands-free calling.

The Bluetooth link is the only means of connecting the cell phone. The Cellular Telephone -R54- SIM card (directory) can also be read out.

The Bluetooth vehicle telephone has its own Telephone Handset -R37- with a SIM card slot and charging base.

The Telephone Handset -R37-, the hands-free calling with the multifunction steering wheel and the voice recognition system can be used to operate the Bluetooth car phone and the Cellular Telephone -R54-.

The Bluetooth Antenna -R152- is integrated in the Information Electronics Control Module 1 -J794-.

The microphones for the Microphone Unit In Front Roof Module -R164- are integrated in the Front Interior Lamp -W1-. On microphone (Left Front Microphone -R140-) is connected directly to the Information Electronics Control Module 1 -J794-.
