Get the most out of your radio.

The home screen is your starting point. Put everything you use often here.

1. Tap the house icon to go back to the home screen at any time.
2. Press and hold an app tile to replace it with another app.
3. Swipe to the app overview to see all apps on the radio.
4. At the top, or by swiping from the edge, you'll find shortcuts such as Wi-Fi, brightness and restart.

Tip Put the three apps you use most on the home screen: for example CarPlay, Radio and Camera.

Radio, Bluetooth, USB or your phone: only one plays at a time.

1. Open the app of the source you want to hear, or use the source button on your steering wheel.
2. As soon as CarPlay or Android Auto is connected, your phone takes over the sound.
3. Want to go back to FM or DAB+? Open the radio app or choose the radio in the source menu.

Tip Suddenly no sound? Check which source is active. Often your phone is still paused.

A big screen is handy, but your eyes belong on the road.

1. Set up navigation and music before you drive off.
2. Use your voice: Siri or Google Assistant reads out messages and makes calls for you.
3. Video only works when you're stationary. That's by design.

Tip Put your phone in Driving or Do Not Disturb mode. Notifications are then held back.

You only do this once. After that, CarPlay connects automatically when you get in.

1. Turn on Siri on your iPhone: Settings › Siri. Without Siri, CarPlay won't start.
2. Wireless: turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, open the connection app on the radio and select the radio on your iPhone.
3. Wired: connect your iPhone with an original data cable and unlock your phone.
4. On your iPhone, tap Use CarPlay and allow access.
5. Do this while the car is stationary.

Tip CarPlay not found? Check that the connection app is in CarPlay and Android Auto mode.

Decide which apps you see and in what order.

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings › General › CarPlay and choose your car.
2. Tap Customise. Drag apps to where you want them, or remove apps with the minus sign.
3. Put your navigation and music on the first page.

Tip CarPlay's Dashboard screen shows map, music and suggestions at the same time. Tap the icon at the bottom left to switch.

Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road.

1. Press and hold the voice button on your steering wheel, tap the Siri icon or say "Hey Siri".
2. "Navigate home" or "Navigate to the nearest petrol station".
3. "Read my messages" and "Send a message to ...".
4. "Play my favourite playlist" or "Call ...".

Tip Turn on Announce Notifications (Settings › Notifications › Announce Notifications › CarPlay). Siri will then read new messages out automatically.

Use the map app you like.

1. Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze all work in CarPlay if they're on your iPhone.
2. Plan your route on your iPhone before you leave; it appears on the screen straight away.
3. Music and navigation work together: navigation briefly talks over your music.

Tip Need maps offline? Download them in advance in your map app on your iPhone.

After that it starts automatically.

1. Update your phone and the Android Auto app.
2. Wired: connect with a good data cable, unlock your phone and follow the steps.
3. Choose "always allow in this car".
4. Wireless: turn on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and location, and pair via Bluetooth first.
5. Wireless not working straight away? Connect once with the cable.

Tip Some cables can only charge. If it doesn't work, try a different cable.

The settings are on your phone.

1. Open the Android Auto settings on your phone (usually via Settings › Connected devices › Android Auto).
2. Choose which apps you see and in what order (Customise launcher).
3. Turn automatic media resume on or off.
4. Choose whether message notifications are shown.

Tip Put the apps you use most on the road at the top.

Say "Hey Google" or press the voice button.

1. "Navigate to ..." and "How's the traffic?".
2. "Read my messages" and "Reply ...".
3. "Play ... on Spotify" or "Call ...".

Tip "Hey Google" not working? Turn it on in the Google app on your phone.

Your favourite stations under one button.

1. Open the radio app and choose FM or AM with the BAND button.
2. Search automatically or slide along the frequency bar.
3. Press and hold a preset button for a few seconds to save the station.
4. For DAB+: connect the DAB+ aerial, open the DAB app and start a station scan.

Tip Lots of noise? Set the search mode to LOC. It will then only find strong stations.

Tune the sound to your car.

1. Open the sound or DSP app.
2. Choose a preset and fine-tune bass, mid and treble.
3. Move the sound forwards or backwards in the picture of the car.
4. Try it with a song you know well.

Tip Move the fader slightly forwards. The sound then comes from the dashboard, just like a concert in front of you.

For calls and music.

1. Open the Bluetooth app on the radio for the name and PIN.
2. Find the radio on your phone and confirm.
3. Allow access to your contacts for the phone book.

Tip With CarPlay or Android Auto you don't need to do this separately. They already handle calls.

Where the microphone sits makes a big difference.

1. Place the microphone on the pillar next to the windscreen, at speaking height, pointing at you.
2. Adjust the microphone sensitivity in the Bluetooth settings.
3. Make a test call with someone who'll tell you honestly how it sounds.

Tip Fan on setting four? The person you're talking to will hear a lot of it. Turning it down for a moment helps.

A sharp picture and guide lines in the right place.

1. Shift into reverse: the camera picture appears automatically.
2. In the camera settings, choose your camera's format (AHD, PAL or NTSC).
3. Turn mirror image and guide lines on or off.

Tip Clean the camera lens now and then. A dirty lens is the biggest cause of a blurry picture.

Music, navigation or internet radio on the radio itself.

1. Connect the radio to Wi-Fi or your phone's hotspot.
2. Open Google Play and sign in with your Google account.
3. Search for an app and install it.

Tip Keep about a fifth of the storage free. That keeps the radio quick.

Map on the left, music on the right.

1. Tap the recent apps button.
2. Drag an app to the edge and choose a second app.
3. Drag the line in the middle to choose the split.

Good to know.

1. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto use the radio's Wi-Fi.
2. The radio itself then can't use Wi-Fi for internet at the same time.
3. Want to use apps on the radio and CarPlay? Then connect your phone with the cable.

A restart solves a lot.

1. Restart the radio via the shortcuts if something gets slow.
2. Update apps and the connection app over Wi-Fi.
3. Leave the ignition on during a software update.

Tip Update your phone too. CarPlay and Android Auto run largely on your phone.
