General information
The components of the systems Radio R / Navigation System with CD Drive Control Module J401 / Media Player, Position 1 R118 / Digital Sound System Control Module J525 / Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface J533 are combined with one another in a "ring". This "ring" represents the optical MOST-Bus.
The connection to the other BUS systems in the vehicle are performed by the Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface J533.
The "central control module" is the Front Information Display Control Head Control Module J523. The transfer of signals representing the instrument cluster display occurs via the MOST-Bus to Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface J533 and from there via CAN-Bus (instrument cluster) to the instrument cluster.
Fault finding is performed via "Guided Fault Finding" using.

Information on optical MOST-Bus
In addition to the CAN-Bus systems, an optical data bus system has been implemented.
Data exchange of the systems Radio R / Digital Sound System Control Module J525 / CD Changer R41 / Navigation System with CD Drive Control Module J401 / Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface J533 occurs via the MOST-Bus.
A fiber optic cable is utilized as the "connecting cable".
Fiber optic cables are routed inside corrugated tubes for protection.
Ensure that harness connector end faces are not soiled.
If harness connectors are disconnected: Install Protective Cap For Cable Connector VAS 6223/9 - 1 -.
Fiber optic cables cannot be repaired, they must be replaced completely.
Observe the minimum bending radius of 25 mm when routing fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cables must not be pinched or bent.
Repairing fiber optic cables --> 97 - WIRING .

| CAUTION | The following information refers to different types of radio systems available in Europe. Information for radio systems used in the USA and Canada --> Radio system - USA and Canada . |
Radio system is a component of the MMI Infotainment system. A "radio unit" is no longer installed, rather the Radio R consists of a radio tuner with additional connector positions in the left rear luggage compartment.
Operation is performed via the Multimedia Control Head E380. Data transfer to the Digital Sound System Control Module J525 occurs via the optical MOST-Bus.
Signals of rear window antenna reach the Radio R via the Antenna Amplifier R24 with integrated Antenna Selection Control Module J515.
For regions with digital radio reception, a Digital Radio (DAB) R147 can also be installed.
Fault finding is performed via "Guided Fault Finding" using.
Repairs on antenna wires --> 97 - WIRING .
| CAUTION | This section refers to components of the communication systems available in Europe and not all apply to communication systems used in USA and Canada. |
The individual Communication systems have extensive On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capabilities.
In the event that malfunctions occur in any Communication system, troubleshooting is performed using the in the "Guided Fault Finding" operating mode.
