CD-player mode, function

The COMAND operating, display and controller unit (A40/3) is equipped with an integrated CD drive for loading navigation data and playing audio CDs.

 Because of the large volume of data that is needed to display the map, it is not possible to play an audio CD during navigation mode. The navigation CD must be in the integrated CD drive.

The CD player with changer (A2/6) is controlled by the COMAND operating, display and controller unit (A40/3). The control signals to the CD player with changer (A2/6) and the audio data from the CD player with changer (A2/6) are transmitted via the Digital Data Bus (D2B).

Each CD includes a permanently stored table of contents (TOC record). The COMAND operating, display and controller unit (A40/3) clearly recognizes the particular CD on the basis of this entry and is able to automatically name it after the one-time allocation of the title by the user (even if the CD is subsequently inserted into another CD magazine).

The permanently stored table of contents (TOC entry) also contains information about the number of tracks on a CD and the total playing time of a CD.
