Accessories
RC 09 infrared steering-wheel remote control
RC 09 infrared steering-wheel remote control allows you to conveniently operate the
TravelPilot DX-N directly from the steering wheel.
Your TravelPilot DX-N uses GPS, a satellite-supported locating system, to determine
the current position of the vehicle. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a system which can be used to reliably determine your location anywhere in the world. A
“gyroscope” and the electronic speedometer signal are also used to track the vehicle’s movements. The TravelPilot DX-N navigation system compares this data with
the data stored in digital form on the navigation CD-ROM and uses it to calculate the
routes in route guidance.
Switching the unit on
If the TravelPilot DX-N has been properly connected to the vehicle ignition and continuous plus, the TravelPilot DX-N will switch on automatically when you start your vehicle.
Operating introduction
When the system is started for the first time, an operating introduction explaining the
functions of the remote control will appear. Then you can select whether or not this
introduction is shown each time the TravelPilot DX-N is switched on.
Plus Point: You can activate or deactivate the operating introduction at any
time in the “Settings” menu. For more information, please refer to the section
on “Settings”, “Switching the operating introduction on/off”.
