Care of your KeyCard  
Training the new KeyCard  
To ensure that the KeyCard will function  
properly it is important that the contacts are  
free from any foreign particles. Avoid direct  
skin contact.  
Insert the new KeyCard into the unit  
and lock the operating panel into posi-  
tion.  
Press ON.  
If necessary, clean the KeyCard contacts  
using a cotton swab soaked in rubbing al-  
cohol.  
Within the next 5 seconds, press TU  
and ST1. “0000” will appear in the dis-  
play.  
Now use the rocker switch to enter the  
four-digit master code in the radio  
pass:  
Lost or damaged KeyCard  
If the KeyCard for your unit is lost or dam-  
aged you can train a new KeyCard.  
You can purchase the new KeyCard from  
any authorised dealer. You will also require  
the master code for the unit, which you will  
find in the radio pass.  
/
- Enter digits (press as often  
as required)  
<< / >> - Select the entry position.  
Press ENT after you have entered the  
correct master code.  
The new KeyCard has been accepted when  
the unit switches to play.  
Always keep the radio pass in a safe  
place. Do not leave it in your vehicle.  
Making mistakes in the entry  
If you enter the wrong code, “CODE-ERR”  
will appear in the display. If you enter the  
wrong code three times, “WAIT 1h” will ap-  
pear in the display. The unit will switch to a  
standby mode for one hour.  
Switch the unit off and on again.  
Repeat the steps to train the new KeyCard,  
but be sure to enter the correct master code.

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)  
The Radio Data System offers you more  
convenience when you listen to FM radio  
stations.  
REG - regional program  
Certain radio programs are split up at times  
into regional programs offering local infor-  
mation. The 1st program broadcast by NDR,  
for example, offers programs with different  
contents in the northern states of Germany  
Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower  
Saxony at certain times of the day.  
If you are listening to a program and want  
to continue to listen to that program, it is ad-  
visable to switch to REG ON.  
More and more radio stations have begun  
to broadcast RDS information alongside  
their programs.  
As soon as a program has been identified,  
“AF” is highlighted for the corresponding  
softkey.  
the station name including a regional iden-  
tifier, if available, will appear in the display,  
for example, NDR1 NDS (regional program  
in Lower Saxony, Germany).  
If you leave the service area of the regional  
program you are tuned into, or if you would  
like to take advantage of the full RDS serv-  
ice, switch to “REG OFF”.  
When RDS is activated, the preset buttons  
become program buttons. You now know  
exactly which program you have tuned into,  
making it easy to find the desired station  
quickly.  
While searching for the strongest reception  
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.  
To switch REG on/off:  
Press TU, menu level 2 will appear.  
But RDS offers you further advantages:  
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when  
you switch on the radio or recall one of the  
stored frequencies, this indicates that the  
unit is automatically searching for an alter-  
native frequency.  
AF - Alternative frequency  
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function  
makes sure that the strongest frequency of  
the currently selected program is always  
tuned in automatically.  
“SEARCH” will disappear from the display  
when the alternative frequency has been  
found or after the frequency band has been  
run through completely.

approximately 30 seconds, a warning beep  
will sound every 30 seconds. To switch the  
warning beep off, proceed as described  
above.  
In addition to these, there are also stations  
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-  
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON  
it is possible for them to forward the traffic  
messages broadcast by another traffic in-  
formation station in the same radio network.  
Please note that several buttons have no  
function while a traffic announcement is  
broadcast.  
Warning beep  
If you leave the reception area of the traffic  
information station you are currently tuned  
into, you will hear a warning beep at inter-  
vals of approx. 30 seconds.  
If you want to have the priority for traffic an-  
nouncements activated while listening to  
one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “TA” must  
appear on the display panel.

This warning beep will also be emitted if you  
press a preset button for a station which  
does not send the traffic information signal.  
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the  
radio will automatically switch to the linked  
traffic program station (in this case, NDR2)  
for the duration of the message and return  
to the original program (NDR3) afterwards.  
This volume was preset at the factory, but

Setting recommendations on the  
Internet  
This car stereo is equipped with 2 paramet-  
ric filters. The first filter “LOW EQ” can be  
set from 32 to 500 Hz, the second filter  
“HIGH EQ” from 630 to 10000 Hz. In this  
context, parametric means that it is possi-  
ble to set the frequency and either boost or  
reduce it (+10 to –20 dB) individually for  
each of these filters.  
Now listen to the CD you have selected.  
Evaluate the sound according to your own  
personal preferences.  
Refer to our home page on the Internet  
Now refer to “Sound impression/problem” in  
the table and you will find suggestions to  
eliminate any problems under “What to do”.  
to find setting recommendations for new  
vehicles on the market.  
Make the settings for bass and the lower  
mid-range tones with the LOW EQ filter,  
select HIGH EQ for treble and mid-range  
tones.  
These parametric filters can be adjusted to  
very exact settings even without the help of  
measuring instruments.
