Technical Information

Not only does the Universal Bluetooth

TM

Hands-Free System offer a means to wirelessly

integrate a mobile phone into the vehicle, it also can be diagnosed using the DISplus or
GT1.

The control module should always be coded to the specific vehicle that it is installed into
to ensure optimum system performance.  Coding of the module can be done using the
DISplus or GT1 with CD33 or higher installed.

The ULF control module contains several controllers that provide the following functions:

1. Bluetooth

TM

Control Circuit

The Bluetooth

TM

control circuit is physically connected to the Bluetooth

TM

antenna.  

It establishes the connection between the Bluetooth

TM

mobile phone and the     

vehicle, de-scrambles the incoming call/signal from the phone, scrambles the   
outgoing signal from the microphone for transmission to the phone, plus controls 
all communication to paired Bluetooth

TM

devices.

2. Hands-free Control Circuit

The hands-free control circuit in the ULF controls the input/output of audio        
frequency signals in hands-free mode.  The hands-free mode is designed for
full-duplex transmission.  This means the user can listen and speak                
simultaneously.  Voice transmission takes place via a microphone located in the 
interior of the vehicle.

Pressing and holding the send/receive             button until an audible beep is 
heard will activate the integrated voice recognition system and place the system 
into a hands-free mode.

3. Audio Output Control

The incoming signal from the Bluetooth

TM

phone is processed, sent through the 

radio and to the speakers.

4. Audio Input Control

The outgoing audio received from the vehicle microphone is processed and  
transmitted to the Bluetooth

TM

phone.

5. I/K-Bus Interface

The interface in the ULF control module for the I/K-bus controls the procedure for
transmitting and receiving data telegrams via the I/K-bus in connection with other
components on the bus.
