OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2 Rev.A 3 Rev.A

ZENEC welcomes you.

Operating instructions.

Thank you for choosing a ZENEC Multimedia System. The more familiar you are with the ZENEC

system, the better and easier you can operate it.

Our request is therefore:

Please read the operating instructions before starting to use your new ZENEC system. These

operating instructions contain important instructions and information for safe operation of the

ZENEC system and making full use of the technical advantages of this system. They also contain

various items of general information which will give you a better understanding.

At the point in time of production in the factory, the operating instructions which have been printed

beforehand are the most up to date medium, and do not only apply to the ZENEC system in

the original condition. Because of possible updates to the device software, deviations from the

descriptions or functions of your ZENEC system and these operating instructions are possible. No

claims can be derived from differing specifications, illustrations or descriptions.

Additional new information can be found in other brochures or in updated operating instructions

directly on the ZENEC web site at www.zenec.com under the respective model.

If you sell your vehicle with the installed ZENEC system, please ensure that these operating

instructions are in the vehicle, and that personal information such as a phone book stored in the

device is deleted.

We wish you an enjoyable and safe journey.

Validity of document

This document describes the functions which were available at the point in time of printing. The

functions which were introduced in follow-up versions with new software are not described in this

document. You can find up to date information about the latest features via the release notes in the

software installation instructions.

ILLUSTRATIONS

The illustrations in this document are exclusively for demonstration purposes and to provide a better

understanding. Depending on the device model, the software version and the market region, slightly

different information may be displayed or also shown on the touch screen of the respective ZENEC

model.

Safety instructions

CAUTION:

Distracting the driver can lead to accidents and injuries. Operating the ZENEC system may

distract the driver’s attention from the prevailing traffic conditions! Connecting, changing or

inserting data media may also distract the driver’s attention from the prevailing traffic conditions.

CAUTION:

Always ensure that the volume setting allows acoustic signals from outside the vehicle to be

heard at all times (e.g. signal horns or sirens).

CAUTION:

Incorrect assembly or start-up of the ZENEC system may result in damage to the ZENEC system

or the vehicle electronics. The device should only be installed by qualified personnel who have

been authorized by ZENEC.

CAUTION:

This ZENEC system is exclusively intended for operation with an on-board voltage of 12 V DC.

Operating the ZENEC system with any other on-board voltage may result in damage to the

ZENEC system or to the vehicle electrical system.

CAUTION:

Dismantling or modifying the ZENEC system may result in damage to the device or the vehicle.

Opening or modifying the device by personnel who have not been authorized by ZENEC will

invalidate the warranty.

In the event of a malfunction or fault, please contact an authorized ZENEC dealer. Repairs

carried out by unauthorized personnel will invalidate the warranty.

CAUTION:

Driving recommendations and traffic signs which are displayed on the ZEBENEC system

may differ from reality. Traffic signs and traffic regulations take precedence over the driving

recommendations and displays of the ZENEC system.

Please adapt your driving behaviour and speed to the respective visibility, weather, road and

traffic conditions.

CAUTION:

Charging and connecting cables for external mobile devices may obstruct the driver. These

should be routed so that the driver’s freedom of movement is not impeded.

Switching on and off

The ZENEC system is equipped with a theft protection function. If this is active, when the ZENEC

system is switched on again after disconnecting the power supply, you are asked to enter a

password.

The ZENEC system is for vehicles which are already preconfigured with the CAN IR Stalk

interface, see compatibility list www.zenec.com. If your vehicle is equipped with a resistance-based

multifunction steering wheel, you must also connect the analogue LFB adapter cable included in

the scope of delivery (Page 79 - No. 10) with the main connecting cable to Key 1 / Key 2 / GND

and the vehicle-side 20-pin connector. The connects the buttons on the back of the steering wheel

preconfigured.

The rear LFB button functions (volume, camera, skip, BT etc.) are displayed to you visually in the

system setup of the ZENEC under [Settings] ➔[Other] ➔[LFB Assignment (Analogue) ] under Mode

2. Analogue mode 2 is already preset for Series 8 and 9 in the factory. The BT handsfree telephone

is connected via multiple assignment, as shown graphically in Mode 2.

New assignment or teach-in of the rear buttons

1. Call up device settings.

2. Tap on [Various] to open the settings.

3. Display second page of the Various settings .

4. Tap on [LFB Assignment (Analogue)] to call up steering wheel operation teach-in mode 2 (Mode 2).

5. Tap [Change] to reassign the buttons. The system deletes the current button assignments on

the steering wheel. The reassignment can then be started. It is advisable to assign the deleted

buttons from top to bottom on the left-hand side, then repeat the procedure on the right-hand side.

16 Rev.A 17 Rev.A

Example of reassignment:

a. In the first step, the required function must be selected, in this case Camera (CAM). Tap on the

[CAM] function symbol in the middle of the function symbol field, which has a light blue border.

b. Press the relevant LFB button on the rear of the steering wheel (top left in this example). The

system sets the camera (CAM) function to the top left LFB button and also in the virtual LFB

display on your ZENEC. The camera source can be called up later by pressing the top left LFB

button instead of the default setting “Skip forwards” [>>I].

c. Continue reassigning the remaining LFB buttons. Once all buttons on the LFB have been

assigned, the LFB assignment can be completed. The reassignment is saved automatically,

and the new configuration can be used from now on. In order to restore the defaults, tap on

the “Factory setting” button. The button functions are then reset to the default values and

assignments.

NOTE: The front telephone and voice buttons are only connected via a LIN Bus adapter cable

or an optionally available CAN-IR Stalk interface “N-XFDUC8-SWC1”, and cannot be changed.

Whereas the rear buttons can be connected to the ZENEC via an analogue LFB cable.

NOTE: The LFB buttons for driving, on-board computer and cruise control operation are direct-

ly assigned to the respective vehicle functions, i.e. the function of these buttons on the steering

wheel is completely independent of the device installed in the vehicle.

NOTE: A correct function can only take place if the LFB connection is set to Mode 2. [Settings]

➔ [Various] ➔[LFB Assignment] ➔“Mode 2”.

NOTE: Fault-free operation of the steering wheel remote control can only be guaranteed if

you use the original ZENEC accessories included in the scope of delivery. The ZENEC system

and the original accessories must never be modied or altered in any way. Incorrect handling can

damage the vehicle and the ZENEC system.

Main menu

The main menu is subdivided into five sub-areas via which several functions and sources can

be called up directly. In the left-hand area there is the standard Zenec control bar with the ALT

(alternative button which can be assigned with a function), App List (overview of all apps) and device

Manual operation of the mobile phone while driving is not permitted. Only make entries or

modifications via the ZENEC system is the traffic situation permits it.

CAUTION:

The network coverage depends on several factors – such as the network provider or the

geographic situation that the vehicle is in. Tunnels, underpasses, garages or urban canyons in

cities can lead to an interruption of the connection. Heat protection glazing or metal stickers on

the windows of the vehicle can also interfere with the connection.

NOTE:

The operation of integrated information systems and communication devices while driving can

distract you from the traffic conditions. You may lose control of the vehicle. Risk of accidents.
