DAB subchannel

Link between FM and digital radio*

Media player

Secondary components are usually named

subchannels. These are temporary and can

contain e.g. translations of the main pro-

gramme into other languages. Subchannels

are indicated with an arrow symbol in the

channel list.

The function enables the digital radio (DAB)

to switch from a channel with poor or no

reception to the same channel in another

channel group (ensemble) with better recep-

tion, within DAB and/or between DAB and

FM.

The media player can play back audio from

external audio sources connected via the

USB port or Bluetooth. It can also play back

video format via the USB port.

When the car is connected to the internet, it is

also possible to listen to web radio, audio

books and music services via apps.
