Technology
ISO connection technology
Mechanical connection standard commonly
used in the car hi-fi industry in which all of
the electrical connections are combined into
several blocks. The contact allocation can
vary electrically depending on the radio or car
manufacturer so that specific adapter cables
are required even though the plugs look
identical.
K
KeyCard
A particularly convenient theft protection
system developed by Blaupunkt. The car radio
cannot be operated until the corresponding
card has been inserted.
L
Loudness
➞ X-Bass
Low pass
Active frequency crossover to control sub-
woofer systems, whereby the music signal is
faded out above a selected frequency.
Sub-X-Over, Sub-Out
M
Map Matching
Vehicle position determined by comparing
GPS locating and all sensor data with the
digital navigation CD.
Menu
The “menu” can be used to adjust the basic
settings of the car radio to vehicle-specific
conditions, individual preferences and
perhaps to an existing car hi-fi system.
MMC – MultimediaCard/
SD – Secure Digital Card
Storage cards for multimedia data, such as
MP3 music files.
MosFet transistors
Metal oxide semiconductor field effect tran-
sistors. Particularly effective in power con-
sumption (less heat generation) and switch
quickly, but not necessarily better than nor-
mal bipolar transistors as far as the sound is
concerned. Ideal for use in the switch-mode
power supplies of high-power amplifiers to
guarantee a constantly stable and high power
supply.
MP3
Compression standard for music data based
on the MPEG1 standard.
MP3 browsing
Convenient option that lets you scroll through
a list of all the MP3 titles on a CD-R/CD-RW
or MMC/SD card without having to interrupt
the song currently playing.
MP3 music on a CD-R/RW
A CD-ROM can accommodate up to approxi-
mately 10 conventional CDs, providing that
you burn the music in MP3 format.
MP3 music on a Microdrive
The MP3 Compact Drive from Blaupunkt is
a virtual CD changer. Simply compile a selec-
tion of your own favourite CDs by loading
music from your PC onto the Microdrive.
MP3 music on a MultimediaCard/SD card
Up to eight hours of MP3 music can be stored
on the MultimediaCard/SD card. It’s not
much bigger than a postage stamp, easy to
transport and versatile to use.
MP3 music on a PC
You need the right software to play MP3
music on your PC. At www.blaupunkt.com
you can simply download a WinAmp MP3
player – in the Blaupunkt look.
MP3 park
At www.blaupunkt.com you will find out
everything worth knowing about the topic of
MP3. In addition to basic technical principles
and legal background information, there are
also a lot of useful tips, tricks and links.
MultiColour display
Display in different colours for the different
display segments to differentiate visually
between the various functions displayed and
to improve the appeal of the equipment
design. The headline is usually highlighted to
make it easier to read.
Multipath interference
The radio waves emitted directly by the radio
station are overlaid with reflected signals
(e.g. from apartment buildings, mountains,
etc.) that are received with a slight time
delay. The Blaupunkt reception concepts
effectively minimise or even eliminate multi-
path interference.

Navigation (dynamic)
Blaupunkt was the first manufacturer to
combine TMC and TIM® to create complete
traffic management. The Traffic Message
Channel – TMC is a free service provided by
radio stations; its traffic information is used
permanently in route calculation. TIM® is
a Blaupunkt process for recording traffic
messages. This combination of technologies
allows proactive, dynamic traffic congestion
avoidance on all motorways.
Navigation TravelPilot
Active route guidance system for motorists
using spoken recommendations and direc-
tional arrows on a monitor/display. Route
guidance is based on a navigation CD and
computer, locating via satellite receiver
(GPS), speedometer sensors, a gyroscope
and data comparison with the digital map.
1. The GPS system makes the initial rough
estimate of the vehicle location.
2. After just a few metres, the road the vehicle
is travelling on can be identified. Any turns
are recorded by the gyroscope.
3. Now the vehicle position has been determined
accurately and is updated constantly, whereby
the system compares all the sensor data with
the information on the digital map.
