Radio data system (RDS)RDS is a service of FM stations thatconsiderably facilitates the finding ofthe desired station and its fault-freereception.

Advantages of RDS■ On the display the programme

name of the set station appearsinstead of its frequency.

■ On station search the Infotainmentsystem tunes in to RDS stationsonly.

■ The Infotainment system alwaystunes into the best receivablebroadcasting frequency of the setstation by means of AF (AlternativeFrequency).

■ Depending on the station that isreceived the Infotainment systemdisplays radio text that can contain,for example, information about thecurrent programme.

Digital audio broadcasting(not available for CD 300)Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) isan innovative and universalbroadcast system.DAB stations are indicated by theprogramme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.

CD 500 / DVD 800:

CD 400:

General information■ With DAB, several radio

programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single frequency(ensemble).

■ Besides high-quality digital audioservices, DAB is also able totransmit programme-associateddata and a multitude of other dataservices including travel and trafficinformation.

■ As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if thesignal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

■ There is no fading (weakening ofthe sound) that is typical of AM orFM reception. The DAB signal isreproduced at a constant volume.

■ If the DAB signal is too weak to bepicked up by the receiver, receptionis interrupted completely. Thisincident can be avoided by:CD 500 / DVD 800: activating Autoensemble linking in the DABsettings menu.

Page 38: Opel Astra - Infotainment

Radio 37

CD 400: activating Auto ensemblelinking and/or Auto linking DAB-FM in the DAB settings menu.

■ Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not occurin connection with DAB.

■ If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings, thereception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerably impairedin such cases.

■ The reception of DAB+ stations ispresently not supported by the DABreceiver.

Configuring DAB

CD 500 / DVD 800

Press the CONFIG button.Select Radio settings and then DABsettings.The following options are available inthe configuration menu:■ Auto ensemble linking: with this

function activated, the deviceswitches over to the same service(programme) on another DABensemble (frequency, if available)when the DAB signal is too weak tobe picked up by the receiver.

■ Dynamic audio adaption: with thisfunction activated, the dynamicrange of the DAB signal is reduced.That means the level of the loudsounds is reduced, but not the levelof the quiet sounds. Therefore thevolume of the Infotainment systemcan be raised to a point where thequiet sounds are audible, withoutthe loud sounds being too loud.

■ Frequency band: after selection ofthis option the user can definewhich DAB wavebands are to bereceived by the Infotainmentsystem.

General informationThe navigation system will reliablyguide you to your destination withoutthe need to read maps, even if youhave no local knowledge whatsoever.The current traffic situation is takeninto account in the route calculation ifdynamic route guidance is used. Forthis purpose the Infotainment systemreceives traffic announcements in thecurrent reception area via RDS-TMC.The navigation system cannot,however, take into account trafficincidents, traffic regulations changedat short notice and hazards orproblems that arise suddenly (e.g.road works).

Caution

The usage of the navigationsystem does not release the driverfrom the responsibility fora correct, vigilant attitude in roadtraffic. The relevant trafficregulations must always befollowed. If a navigation instructioncontradicts traffic regulations, thetraffic regulations always apply.

Functioning of the navigationsystemThe position and movement of thevehicle are detected by the navigationsystem using sensors. The travelleddistance is determined by thevehicle’s speedometer signal, turningmovements on bends by a gyrosensor. The position is determined bythe GPS satellites (Global PositioningSystem).By comparing the sensor signals withthe digital maps on the navigation CD/DVD, it is possible to determine theposition with an accuracy of approx.10 metres.

Page 53: Opel Astra - Infotainment

52 Navigation

The system will also work with poorGPS reception, however, theaccuracy of the determination of theposition will be reduced.After the entry of the destinationaddress or point of interest (nearestpetrol station, hotel, etc.) the route iscalculated from the current location tothe destination selected.The route guidance is provided byvoice output and an arrow, as well aswith the aid of a multi-colour mapdisplay.

TMC traffic information systemand dynamic route guidanceThe TMC traffic information systemreceives all current traffic informationfrom TMC radio stations. If dynamicroute guidance is active, thisinformation is included in thecalculation of the overall route. Duringthis process, the route is planned sothat traffic problems related to pre-selected criteria are avoided.

If there is a traffic problem duringactive route guidance, depending onthe pre-settings, a message appearsas to whether the route should bechanged.TMC traffic information is displayed inthe route guidance display assymbols or as detailed text on theTMC messages menu.To be able to use TMC trafficinformation, the system has to receiveTMC stations in the relevant region.Dynamic route guidance only works iftraffic information is received via theTMC traffic information system.The dynamic route guidance functioncan be deactivated 3 68.

Map materialThe complete map material is tooextensive to be loaded into thesystem’s memory.For international navigation, insert thenavigation CD/DVD or load therelated data for the regions into thesystem memory. The network of mainroads in Europe is loaded

automatically. It may be necessary todelete other map material from thesystem memory.Once the preferred map material hasbeen loaded, the CD/DVD can beremoved so that the drive can be usedfor playing music.Map data add/remove 3 53.
