Mobile phone interfaces  
The following options are available in addition to the “Basic” mobile phone interface:  
-
-
“Basic” mobile phone interface with inductive charging function (wireless charging WLC)  
“Comfort” mobile phone interface with inductive charging function (wireless charging WLC)  
The mobile telephone is connected inductively to the telephone aerial R65 that is integrated into the roof when  
the “Comfort” mobile phone interface is installed. This ensures that the best possible telephone reception is  
always  
available in the vehicle. The new telephone aerial R65 supports the LTE mobile telecommunications standard.  
Inductive charging function  
The mobile telephone can be charged wirelessly. You  
do this by placing a Qi-compatible mobile telephone  
on the storage compartment with interface for  
mobile telephone R365 in front of the selector lever.  
The storage compartment R265 contains the  
interface for mobile telephone. In addition to the  
interface aerial for connecting the exterior aerial, the  
interface contains various coils for inductive  
charging.

Function and circuit  
Figure s571_099 shows the system overview of the “Comfort” mobile phone interfaces with inductive charging  
function. The transmission and reception stabilisation control unit R308 and telephone aerial R65 are not  
installed with the “Basic” mobile phone interface with inductive charging.  
The storage compartment R365 and the control unit R308 are activated via the Tel. ON wire (1) if the  
terminal S is on.  
The Keyless Access wire (2) briefly interrupts the inductive charging during a short cyclical query for vehicle keys  
in the interior.  
The control unit for information electronics J794 or the radio R establishes the current status of the components  
(aerial wires, transmission and reception stabilisation control unit R308 and the storage compartment with  
interface for mobile telephone R265) via the status wire (3).  
You will find more information on the topic of the “inductive charging function” in the web-based  
training (WBT) “Model update week 22/16: Electrics and Infotainment”.
