Many audio CDs contain CD text.
COMAND uses the information contained
in this text for displaying the name of the
artist, album and track.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD
text, COMAND can recognise unknown
audio tracks in CD audio mode with the aid
of the Gracenote Media Database. For this
to happen, the corresponding information
must be stored in the Gracenote Media
Database and the “Read CD Database”
function must be switched on.
If this is the case, COMAND provides the
corresponding data, such as name of art-
ist, album and track, in the corresponding
displays and lists.
If COMAND accesses the Gracenote Media
Database while reading an audio CD, the
following information is displayed:
Switching ‘Read CD database’ function

function will be switched off

cessary to update the Gracenote Media
Database. Optimum Gracenote

music recognition function is only
achieved when the most up-to-date data-
base is available in your vehicle.
You can have the music recognition soft-
ware updated at an Authorized Mercedes-
Benz center by means of a DVD or, perform
the update process yourself.
