General
With the RCS 5100 you easily can control both the Colour and Monochrome Naviga-
tion Systems as well as many audio components of VDO Dayton from the steering
wheel. The RCS 4000 is used exclusively for the Integrated Navigation Radios. You find
a list with compatible devices on the outer wrapping of the blister pack.
Function
The Steering Wheel Remote Control transmits its infrared commands in the direction
of the driver. A big part of the infrared light is reflected towards the device to be con-
trolled.
The function of the remote control can be affected more or less strongly by the follo-
wing influences:
–mounting position of the Steering Wheel Remote Control,
–blocking-out of the IR emitting apertures by fingers,
–unfavourable mounting position of the infrared receiver (for example monitor
and/or radio),
–infrared light absorptive clothing of the driver (bad reflection of the infrared light),
–sitting position of the driver,
–design and material of the vehicle interior (in particular the panelling),
–light and/or strong solar radiation (particularly at convertibles),
–shading of the IR link through hands, arms, legs (for example if the device to be
controlled is built-in very deeply in the dashboard) or other objects.

Selecting mounting position
The Steering Wheel Remote Control is designed for
left-hand drive vehicles and can be installed in all stee-
ring wheels with an outer diameter from 280 mm to
380 mm and a thickness from 25 mm to 35 mm. The re-
mote control should be installed between the 1 o'clock
and 5 o'clock position in the steering wheel. The local
traffic and registration regulations of the country in
which the vehicle is licensed have to be observed:
AThe Steering Wheel Remote Control must not be mounted in the inflation area of the
Airbags. Danger to life if not observed!
AThe Steering Wheel Remote Control must not hinder the steering process during driving
under any circumstances!
AWhen driving straight ahead the Steering Wheel Remote Control must under no
circumstances obstruct the drivers sight on the following system warning lights and
instruments:
System warning lights for flashing indicators, high beam, rear fog lamp, fog headlamps,
brakes, Airbag, ABS, ESP and the speedometer.
Mounting the Steering Wheel Remote Control, fig.1-3
1. Open the locking lever on the rear of the remote control.
2. Hold the remote control inside the steering wheel and guide the strap under the
locking lever (fig. 1).
3. Tighten the strap slightly and then press it with the perforation firmly into the matching
catches at the locking lever (fig. 2).
4. Close the locking lever (1.) and then push it in the direction of the +/- buttons (2.),
(fig. 3).
5. Release the locking lever. Now the lever should engage firmly through the tension of
the strap.
If the locking lever should not engage, or the remote control should not fit firmly
enough at the steering wheel, please repeat steps 3. - 5.
6. If required cut the remaining part of the strap above the locking lever.
Note: In order to improve adhesion in the case of steering wheels of large internal
diameter, the foam rubber pad supplied with the unit can be bonded to the battery
compartment lid of the remote control before installation.
Controls
Mode selection (only RCS 5100), fig. 5a
The RCS 5100 is suitable for both audio components as well as Navigation Systems.
Use the slide switch 3at the outer side of the remote control to change the mode.
☞Switch to “N” to be able to control Navigation Systems.
☞Switch to “A” to be able to control Audio components.
Note: With some Navigation Systems you have to activate the “Steering wheel remote
control” option in the system settings menu to control the system with the Steering
Wheel Remote Control. You find information on that in the instructions for use of the
respective device.
With some Navigation Systems the supplied remote control must be taken out of the
holder so that the system reacts to the Steering Wheel Remote Control.

Replacing battery of the remote control, fig. 4
AIn order to ensure proper functioning of the steering wheel remote control in the
vehicle, it is essential that only CR 2 type batteries are used, which are heat-resistant up to
100 °C according to the battery manufacturer’s specifications.
You have to replace the battery of the remote control, if the device to be controlled
no longer responds to key presses even under favourable circumstances or the device
to be controlled indicates a weak battery.
☞Remove the remote control from the steering wheel. For this purpose first push the
locking lever towards the +/– buttons and then lift it.
☞Push the battery compartment lid on the back of the remote control in direction of
the arrow and open the battery compartment.
☞Remove the discharged battery.
