DIGITAL TELE AID CONTROL MODULE 

Notes on D2B optical fibers

• Optical fibers damage easily-handle optical fibers with care to prevent cuts, nicks, abrasions, and crushing.
• Optical fiber "ring configurations" must form a closed loop to function (i.e. couple the input of a component with the output of the preceding component).
• Identify D2B optical fibers by their orange, semi-rigid insulation.
• Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from bundled vehicle electrical harnesses does not affect optical fibers.
• The digital Tele Aid control module for vehicles equipped with ECALL2 has a D2B port. Do not connect the D2B port of the digital Tele Aid control module if the existing analog Tele Aid control module has no D2B port. Include the digital Tele Aid control module in the D2B ring configuration only if the existing analog Tele Aid control module has a D2B port.

A. PREPARING FOR THE INSTALLATION

1. Read these installation instructions in their entirety before proceeding.
2. To get access to the unit, see WIS document AR82.95-P-0014US, "Remove/install console for E call emergency call system control unit" (do not remove the unit at this point).

B. RETROFITTING THE DIGITAL TELE AID CONTROL MODULE

1. Leave the analog Tele Aid control module installed to perform this step. Exchange the analog Tele Aid control module with the digital Tele Aid control module only when prompted by Star Diagnosis. 

   For automatically version coding the Tele Aid control module, select in Star Diagnosis:

   Control units > Information and communication > Audio, video, navigation and telematics > Tele Aid > Initial Startup > Initial Startup with automatic takeover of settings of previous control unit  or, for manually version coding the Tele Aid control module, select in Star Diagnosis:

   Control units > Information and communication > Audio, video, navigation and telematics > Tele Aid > Initial Startup > Initial Startup with manual settings input for new control unit 

   See Section C, to better understand how the manual and/or automatic replacements have to be completed in Star Diagnosis.

2. Remove the analog Tele Aid control module from beneath the right, front seat (Arrow, Fig 2) by removing the screws (Arrows, Fig 3).

3. Disconnect the cables from the analog Tele Aid control module:
   1. GPS antenna connector (A, Fig 3)
   2. Power supply connector (B, Fig 3)
   3. D2B connector, if applicable (C, Fig 3)
4. Install the digital Tele Aid control module using the previously removed screws.
5. Connect the cables to the digital Tele Aid control module.
   1. GPS Antenna connector (A, Fig 3)
   2. Power supply connector (B, Fig 3)
   3. D2B connector, if applicable (C, Fig 3)
      NOTE: Incorrect installation of connectors can result in bent pins.
      Bent pins will result in component malfunction or failure.
      Inspect connectors before and after installation.

C. VERSION CODING

1. The retrofitted digital Tele Aid control module is not activated. Activate the digital Tele Aid control module by following the Preliminary Draft of "DAS Procedure - Digital Tele Aid Control Module Retrofit" posted on Star TekInfo  .

   Also see posted on Star TekInfo  , the Preliminary Draft of "MMI Overview - Digital Tele Aid Control Module Retrofit"

   NOTE:

   • Tele Aid version coding the Electronic Ignition System (EIS) control module via Star Diagnosis is necessary on W463 model years 2003-2006.
   • W463 MY05:  Replace the EIS control module before version coding the EIS for Remote Door Unlock. Remote Door Unlock will not function after version coding the EIS unless the EIS control module with the part numbers A 209 545 13 08 or A 209 545 19 08 are replaced with a new spare part (see Section D, Parts Information).
