General |
A mobile telephone connection with simultaneous power supply for charging the telephone battery is standard in the car. The sound from the selected source is disconnected automatically during a telephone call and the telephone sound (line in) connected instead. The volume of the telephone can be preset as well as adjusted during the call.
As an option, a mobile phone connection with “handsfree” function is available. Handsfree means that a call can be taken without lifting the receiver.
When a phone is connected “handsfree”, the incoming telephone sound is transferred to the audio system. At the same time, the normal sound is switched off. The outgoing sound is picked up via a built-in microphone in the car.
The following units are used in the audio system:
• |
Main unit, Audio System
|
• |
SID (display)
|
• |
External amplifier (only AS3)
|
• |
Loudspeakers
|
• |
Steering wheel controls
|
• |
Telephone connection
|
Main Unit |
The main unit for the telephone system is the audio system main unit.
Display |
The telephone system utilizes the SID to indicate that the telephone is active. Display information is sent on the bus from the audio system and read by SID.
External amplifier (AS3) |
Audio System 3 has an external amplifier with two output channels for loudspeakers in the front doors to relay the incoming telephone sound during a call.
Loudspeakers |
The audio system has side loudspeakers in the dashboard and loudspeakers in the parcel shelf. Audio System 3 also includes bass loudspeakers in the front doors. These can relay incoming telephone sound during a call.
Steering wheel controls |
The volume of the incoming telephone sound can be adjusted easily and safely with controls on the steering wheel.
The controls are connected to the SID unit. SID detects the positions of the controls and sends information via the bus to the main unit.
