CAR RADIO AND CAR TELEPHONE
Two models of radio are available as an option: one with a CASSETTE and one with a CD.
Both models have been developed in conjunction with BLAUKPUNT (BOSCH) based on the following criteria:
- The radio has been designed in accordance with the specific acoustic conditions of the passenger compartment and fits perfectly with the design of the dashboard.
- The radio is placed in a user-friendly position for the driver and passengers.
- It is easy to use thanks to the small number of controls which can be easily identified.
- It includes a theft protection system that ensures the radio can only be used on the vehicle to which it has been factory-fitted.
Anti-theft protection is ensured by two different systems:
- the radio with cassette comes with a four-figure code that is requested whenever the radio is turned on after the battery has been disconnected;
- the radio with CD, on the other hand, communicates with the electronic unit that manages the electrical equipment (body computer). When the radio is activated, the body computer reads the radio code and determines whethe to turn it on or not. When the radio is connected to another car without a body computer, the set cannot be used because the radio does not recognise the electronic unit it is designed to communicate with and the radio is blocked. If the radio is used on another vehicle with a body computer, it can be used only if the four figure security code is known.
The radio also features a logic which automatically switches the radio on and off: if the radio has been accidentally left on (with the engine switched off), it will switch off automatically after 20 minutes to prevent the battery from being run down.
To summarize, the radio specifications are:
- 5 frequency bands FM I, FM II, FMS, MW and LW
- Automatic and manual station search
- 30 programmable stations, 18 on FM, 6 on MW and 6 on LW
- RDS/EON receiver
- TA traffic news function
- Autostore for FMS, MW and LW
- Automatic mono/stereo selector
- Volume adjustment according to speed (Speed volume control) - (CD version only)
- CD player and programming with functions that can be set: selection/search, random selection, scan - (CD version only)
- Dolby B noise reduction - (CD version only)
- Radio reception when setting CD - (CD version only)
- Cassette player with mechanical autoreverse
- 4 channels with 20W peak power each
- Aerial
- 2 speakers (Van version) 6 speakers (Panorama version)
- 2 tweeters in dashboard
- 2 Ø 165 in front door panel
- 2 Ø eliptical in rear parcel shelf mounting
- Separate treble - bass controls
- Balance control
- Last status: each time the radio is turned on, the settings prior to deactivation are restored.
- Telephone mute: when a phone is connected (only for Motorola or Motorola-compatible mobiles) to the car, every other radio function can be deactivated when there is an incoming call.
- Telephone in: radio speakers can be used to listen to the phone in handsfree mode.

AERIAL
Two types of aerial can be fitted on vehicles which have a radio depending on the accessories:
- one model known as the style aerial is fitted on vehicles which can accommodate preparation for mobile phones.
- one model, known as the dual function aerial is fitted on vehicles which do not have preparation for mobile phones.
Lighting
The lighting consists of an LED.
Only the display lighting can be adjusted.
The lighting signal is connected through pin A6.
If the signal is:
- <3.3V±5%, the day light is activated (maximum light intensity).
- >3.3V±5%, the night light is activated (the lighting depends on the signal).
Example of Tuner screen:
Switching the equipment on using the ON button
The equipment is switched on by pressing the ON button for more than 20 msecs. The display should respond immediately (within 1 sec., last source indication), the audio function should usually be heard within 2.5 secs.
To switch the equipment off, press the ON button for moore than 1 sec.
On/off logic, time mode
It switches off automatically 20 minutes after the ignition has been switched off. The radio can be switched on, for a futher 20 minutes, after it has been switched off automatically, by pressing the On button.
Last status
After the radio has been switched on/off, the same settings persist, if the volume level is above 30 then the equipment will resume at 30.
The values can be modified.
CC/CD ejection
To eject the cassette/CD, press the eject button (only if the radio is on). The cassette/CD will be ejected and the source listened to before the cassette/CD was played will be heard.
Switching source
To access and change the available sources, press the SRC button briefly.
After each change of source, the new source is displayed for 2.5 secs:
Switching source
Whilst the message is displayed, the last source is played.
Alternative frequency search
To activate / deactivate the search for alternative frequencies for the station selection,press the AF/TA button for a while (1 sec., an auditory signal will follow). The letters RDS will still be shown on the display (if available) and the ''AF'' symbol will be displayed if the AF function has been activated.
If the radio is in AM mode, when the AF/TA button is pressed the Tuner will move to the FM band for the last station selected.
Manufacturer''s pre-defined setting: AF on
Traffic information
To activate / deactivate the traffic news function, press the AF/TA button briefly (<1 sec.).
If the traffic news function is activated, but the radio station selected does not broadcast traffic information, an auditory message (beep) will be sounded every 30 secs.
If the broadcaster is on the AM band and the AF/TA button is pressed briefly (<1 sec.), the tuner will tune into the last FM1 station listened to. If the station selected does not broadcast traffic news, the search will start and an auditory signal will be produced.
If the source activated is CC or CD or telephone or mute and the AF/TA button is pressed briefly (<1 sec.), then the traffic news function is activated and traffic information will be broadcast. If the last source was the AM radio, then the tuner will switch to FM1 for the last broadcaster selected (background).
If the station selected does not broadcast traffic information, the search will start (it should be noted that this takes place in the background, without acoustic or visual feedback).
Traffic news volume:
- Listening volume < 30: Traffic news voume = 30 (fixed volume)
- Listening volume = 30: Traffic news volume equal to listening volume + 1
If the vehicle leaves the area covered by the radio station tuned into, this is what happens:
- Tuner mode: a warning signal will be activated every 30 seconds
- CC or CD mode or telephone activated or mute function activated: a tuning search will be launched (it should be pointed out that there will be no visual or acoustic information)
If the AF/TA button is pressed briefly (<1 sec.) during the transmission of a traffic bulletin, the news will no longer be transmitted even if the traffic news function (TA) continues to be activated.
If a traffic news flash is being transmitted, the following will be shown on the display:
Traffic information
By pressing the AF/TA button briefly (< 1sec.) whilst a traffic news flash is being transmitted, it will be interrupted and the traffic news function will continue to be activated.
General information on traffic news:
- During a traffic bulletin the audio function can be activated using the ''AUD'' button.
- There are no separate audio values, in other words the audio will be adoped even after the traffic message.
- The alteration of the volume during a traffic bulletin will not be confirmed on the display. The value regulated is only valid for the individual bulletin.
- During a traffic bulletin it is possible to recall a programm using the preselection buttons and the traffic bulletin will be deactivated.(only in radio mode)
- During a traffic bulletin, the source can be changed using the predefined SRC button (the traffic bulletin will be deactivated).
PTY31
The PTY31 process is similar to the traffic news function, but without the possibility of deactivating it or changing a preselected station.
Autostore (automatic programming)
Press the BN button for a while (=1 sec., auditory signal follows) to activate the Autostore function. The radio uses this function to programme the six stations with the strongest signal in decreasing order of intensity for the signal on the FMT frequency band. If the traffic news function is activated, only stations broadcasting traffic information are programmed.
The following information is shown on the display during the automatic programming process:
Autostore (automatic programming)
If the autostore process is activated in CC or CD mode or the source is changed, this process takes place in the background.
Each station is only programmed once.
Exception: For regional programmes the second figure of the Pl cannot be taken into consideration during the autostore process with the result that a broadcaster could be programmed with 2 different Pl codes.
To interrupt the automatic programming process, press the BN button again (the last station selected before the programming process was started will be selected).
At the end of the autostore function, the system will automatically activate the 1st station preselected on the FMT level.
If less than six stations can be received, the preselection buttons remaining free will be represented by four horizontal lines for 2 secs. and the last broadcaster listened to will be reproduced:
Autostore (automatic programming)
General information when the autostore function is activated:
- At the start of the autostore function, all the other functions and menus are disabled;
- Pressing a button with a function for the radio (e.g. PTY, >>, <<, preselection buttons) will interrupt the autostore function, the last station listened to before the start of the process will be tuned into and the function associated with the button selected will be carried out;
- Pressing the TA button during the autostore process will interrupt the process, the TA function will be activated / deactivated and a new autostore process will be initiated.
- Changing source will not interrupt the autostore process, but it will continue in the background.
Mute function
Press the ON button briefly (< 1 sec.) to activate/deactivate the Mute function. If the Mute function is activated, the volume will decrease in 800 msecs. from the current volume to the value 0e the display will show:
Mute function
If the Mute function is deactivated, the volume will increase by 0 to the value previously listened to in 800 msecs. and the display will show whatever was displayed before the activation of the Mute function.
General information when the Mute function is activated:
- Pressing the volume button deactivates the Mute function and alters the listening volume
- All the functions and the menu can be used
- If a traffic bulletin is received (with the TA function activated) or a PTY31 message is received, the activated Mute function will be be ignored
Soft Mute function
The Soft Mute function is activated if one of the 6 preselection buttons or the BN button or the ON/OFF button is used
If one of these buttons is pressed, the volume decreases with a soft mute effect. The ramp is set to reach volume 0 from the current volume in one sec.
If the button is pressed for:
- < 1 sec.: the moment it is released the volume increases with a soft demute. This ramp is set to reach the current volume from volume 0 in 500 msecs.
- =1 sec.: if the button is pressed for 1 sec., an acoustic signal is sounded (station programming). At the end of the acoustic signal, the volume is the current volume (no soft demute).
Volume
The volume can be adjusted in 67 steps from VOL 0 to VOL 66 using the 2 volumes buttons VOL + and VOL -.
The volume level will appear on the display for 4 seconds.
Example:
Volume
The volume display disappears as soon as another function is selected.
If the volume level is changed during the transmission of a traffic bulletin or when the telephone is activated, this setting only remains valid for the current traffic bulletin. Later on, the equipment will adjust to the original level. If the traffic bulletin or the telephone function ends whilst the volume is being changed, the level will continue to change starting from the setting activated before the transmission of the traffic bulletin or the telephone function (including the display).
Volume function:
Speed volume control
This control is used to automatically increase the volume proportionally according to the speed of the vehicle.
This information is received from the CAN bus.
Speed control in 10 steps memorized in the EEPROM (can be changed during development).
| In dB | Switching level during acceleration [Km/h] | Switching level during vehicle braking [Km/h] |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 25 | |
| 1.2 | 30 | 45 |
| 2.4 | 50 | 65 |
| 3.6 | 70 | 85 |
| 4.8 | 90 | 105 |
| 6 | 110 | 125 |
| 7.2 | 130 | 145 |

| 9.6 | 170 | 185 |
| 10.8 | 190 | 200 |
| 12. | 210 |
The speed volume control can be activated / deactivated in all modes (Tuner, CC, CD) using the menu.
Bass, Treble, Balance and Fader
After the first brief press (< 1 sec.) of the ''AUD'' button, the current bass setting is displayed.
Example:
Bass, Treble, Balance and Fader
The setting is changed using the VOL + and VOL - buttons.
Control range: ± 12 dB in steps of 2 dB
Display: -6...0...+6
No stop at ''0''.
If the ''AUD'' button is pressed a second time, the current treble level setting is displayed.

The setting can be changed using button ( and (.
If the ''AUD'' button is pressed for a fourth time, the current fader level is displayed.
Examples:
Bass, Treble, Balance and Fader
The setting can be changed using the volume disc encoder.
If the ''AUD'' function is deactivated, the value adjusted is memorized and the equipment activates the last mode used:
- Automatically, 8 secs. after the last audio adjustment.
- By initiating an action or (de-)activating a function which requires the display of new information.
- When a new function or mode is launched (for example a T.A. broadcast, a telephone deactivation or the insertion of a cassette or CD).
Manufacturer''s pre-defined setting: Bass, Treble, Balance, Fader = 0
Loudness
To activate / deactivate the Loudness function, press the AUD button for more than 1 sec (an acoustic signal is produced). The loudness mode is displayed for 4 secs.
Examples:
Loudness
The writing on the display disappears as soon as another function is selected.
Radio Receiver Mode
The name (RDS station) or the frequency (non RDS station) of the station selected appears on the display and the frequency level is shown.
Examples:
Frequency band switching
By pressing the BN button briefly (< 1 sec.), it is possible to activate the following frequency bands in order FM 1, FM 2, FM T, MW, LW, FM 1,.... The last station selected on the respective ban will be tuned into.
The ''Info'' section of the display will show the new band
If the station selected is programed, 2 seconds later the pre-selection number will be displayed on the ''Info'' side for 5 secs.
Example of pre-selection number:
Pre-selection buttons (from 1 to 6)
Pre-selections:
- 18 x FM (6 x FM 1, 6 x FM 2, 6 x FMT (STORE)
- 6 x MW
- 6 x LW
- 6 x type of programme (PTY, in FM mode only, see point 5.7)
To recall the desired pre-selected station, select the frequency band desired and then press the relevant pre-selection button briefly (< 1 sec.).
The pre-selection number (rather than the band) will appear on the display (for example FM1) on the information side (see pint 5.1) and the frequency will be displayed on the RDS side for 2 secs. before the frequency band and the name of the RDS (if available) appear.
If the Pl code cannot be received on the frequency pre-set for a button, the radio will start to search for this Pl on another frequency as soon as the vehicle leaves the area covered by the first frequency.
The following will appear on the display:
Pre-selection buttons (from 1 to 6)
If the Pl memorized cannot be received on any frequency, after having searched the entire, the radio will tune into the programmed frequency.
By pressing the pre-selection button for longer (+1 sec.), the station tuned into will be programmed. The system always programmes the frequency and the Pl code.
The programming process is confirmed by an acoustic signal.
Automatic tuning
Press the up / down button (^/v) briefly (<1 sec.) to start the automatic tuning of the next station that can be received in the direction selected. If the button is pressed for longer (= 1 sec.) the rapid search is launched. Once the tuner has tuned into the first station with a strong signal, it will stop for 1 sec. (in mute) before the rapid search continues. When the button is released, the tuner stops at the next station which can be received.
If the traffic news function is activated, the system only searches for stations which broadcast traffic news.
If the PTY function is activated, the system only searches for PTY stations. During the search the display shows the type of programme and the word SEARCH, alternately (every 2 secs.).
If the frequency is the same as the frequency programmed in the pre-selection on the same band (FM1, FM2, FMT, MW, LW), then the pre-selectino number will appear on the display for 5 secs.
Manual tuning
To start the gradual tuning in the direction selected, press the left / right button (<</>>) briefly (< 1 sec.). If the button is pressed for longer (= 1 sec.) the rapid function is carried out as long as the button remains pressed.
If the PTY function is activated, then it must be deactivated in order to use this function.
If the AF function is activated, then it must be deactivated in order to use this function.
If the frequency is identical to the frequency programmed for the pre-selection on the same band (FM1, FM2, FMT, MW, LW) then the pre-selection number will appear on the display for 5 secs.
FM / AM - scan
If the SRC button is pressed for longer (= 1 sec., followed by an acoustic signal), the scan of stations on the current frequency band (FM, MW, LW) will be launched. Each station found will be played for 10 secs. and its name or frequency will flash on the display. During the search (min. 2 secs.) the following will appear on the display:
FM / AM - scan
If the traffic news function is activated, the system will only search for stations broadcasting traffic news.
If the PTY function is activated, the system will only search for PTY stations.
At the start of the SCAN, all the other functions and the Menu are cancelled.
De-activating FM/AM search:
- To continue the reproduction of the station currently sought, prss the SRC button again. This operation is also valid even if the equipment is switched off whilst the FM / AM search function is in progress.
- By pressing the up or down button.
- By pressing a pre-selectino button the station programmed is tuned into
- By activating the automatic memory
- By activating / deactivating the PTY
- By changing the FM or band level

- If the FM / AM scan finds a station transmitting traffic news and the traffic news function is activated, the search will be cancelled.
- By inserting a cassette
If no station is selected, the search function will be deactivated after the frequency band scan. The reproduction of the station selected previously will be resumed.
Pre-selection scan
Press the button for longer (MENU = 1 sec.) to start the pre-selection scan on the current frequency band: FM, MW, LW
Each pre-selection will be reproduced for 10 secs, with their name or frequency flashing on the display. During the time when changing from one pre-selection to another, the following will appear on the display (RDS side) (for 2 secs.):
Pre-selection scan
During the first 2 secs. in which the new pre-selection station is listened to, the current frequency band will be shown on the Info side and during the remaining scan time the pre-selection button number will be displayed, also on the Info side.
If the traffic news function is activated, the system will only search for stations which broadcast traffic news.
At the start of the SCAN all the other functions and the menu will be cancelled.
Deactivating pre-selected stations scanning
- By pressing the SRC button the current radio station can be listened to. This operation is also valid if the equipment is switched off whilst the scanning is activated.
- By pressing the up or down button.
- By pressing a pre-selection button
- By activating the automatic memory
- By activating the PTY
- By changing the source
- By changing the FM level or the band
- By activating the AUD or MENU the current station will continue to be reproduced
- If the preselected scanning tunes into a station which is broadcasting a TA message whilst the TA function is activated, then the scanning is aborted.
- By inserting a cassette/CD
