Satellite navigation
The Navi 600 satellite navigation system,
offers dynamic route guidance via RDS-TMC
(Traffic Message Channel) with directions
given audibly and via the 7-inch colour
monitor. TMC is a specific application of
RDS used for broadcasting real-time traffic
information. It alerts the driver to a problem
on the planned route and calculates an
alternative route to avoid the incident.
In addition to route planning criteria such as
‘shortest distance’ or ‘avoiding toll roads’, you
can now select an energy-optimised ‘green
route’. Here you can specify parameters
such as if you are towing a caravan or have
a roof box fitted. The system will use this
information, in conjunction with known
factors including your vehicle’s weight and
engine type, to calculate the most fuel-
efficient route.
The SD card supplied with the system
covers all major link roads and streets in
towns and cities across mainland Britain
and Ireland, plus trunk and main roads
across more than 30 European countries.
Additional country-specific maps with street
level detail are available to download.
Aux-in
The aux-in allows you to connect your
portable MP3 music player directly into
the car’s audio system. All you need is your
music player and a suitable connecting lead
and you can listen to all your favourite tunes
through your car’s speaker system. Using
your MP3 music player in the car couldn’t
be easier – use it to select the music, as you
would normally do, while controlling the
volume via the car’s regular volume controls.
USB connection
Fitted as standard on Meriva S, Exclusiv and
SE models, the USB connection is located
alongside the aux-in in the centre console. It
provides iPod control and read-out of iPod
functions through the audio system display.
Traditional aux-in only allow control of
volume through the car’s audio system. The
USB connection also means that the iPod
will charge whilst it is connected.
Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) facility
Now widely available in the UK, digital
audio broadcasts offer the user a variety of
advantages over traditional FM, starting with
the digital quality sound which is immune to
any hiss or crackle.
You’ll often find a broader range of stations on
offer too, many of which are not available on
FM, and listening to them couldn’t be easier –
you simply select the station, by name, from
the displayed list, thus removing the need
to retune or look for stations when travelling
around. Some stations will even display the
artists’ names and song titles on the car’s
graphic display, while they’re played.
Mobile phone system with Bluetooth
®
Vauxhall’s optional factory-fit mobile phone
system has been considerably enhanced.
Now fully integrated into the audio and
communication system, it also features voice
control and will connect wirelessly to phones
with Bluetooth
®
technology.
All the required information is displayed on
the graphic information display when
a mobile phone is in use, while the menus
are easily navigated by either the steering
wheel audio controls or the multi-function
button on the radio. Certain functions can
also be controlled by voice activation.
Embedded mobile phone system
with Bluetooth
®
This is the next generation of in-car
mobile phone system. The mobile phone’s
contacts, caller lists and phone settings are
downloaded to the in-car flash drive and,
once this synchronisation is complete, the
car effectively becomes the phone.
The mobile phone will sit in standby mode
and the Bluetooth
®
function will no longer
drain the battery, whilst all calls will be
transmitted via the car’s, rather than the
mobile phone’s, aerial.
Any alterations that have been made to the
contacts, caller lists etc. whilst the units have
been synchronised will be transferred back
to the mobile phone.
