SUBJECT: MODEL 215.374/375/376 with SA CODE (349)
MODEL YEAR 2004
DIGITAL TELE AID CONTROL MODULE
Warning: Do not disconnect the negative battery cable. Extensive reprogramming requirements are otherwise necessary. Wiring harnesses are therefore electrically active. Severe vehicle damage, personal injury, or death from electrical shock could result. Exercise extreme caution while executing these installation instructions. Keep the ignition and radio powered OFF through the final test.
Notes on MOST 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 MOST optical fibers by their orange, semi-rigid insulation.
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from bundled vehicle electrical harnesses does not affect optical fibers.
A. Preparing for the Installation
1. Read these installation instructions in their entirety before proceeding.
2. Remove the rear passenger side seat cushion.
- See WIS document AR91.12-P-1020N, "Removing and Installing rear seat cushion"
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 under the rear passenger side seat cushion. Lift up the protective covering under the seat cushion (Arrow, Figure 1) to access the control module.
3. Disconnect the cables from the analog Tele Aid control module:
a) GPS Antenna connector (E, Figure 2)
b) Antenna connector (D, Figure 2)
c) Power supply connector (C, Figure 2)
d) Power supply connector (B, Figure 2)
e) MOST connector (A, Figure 2)
4. Install the digital Tele Aid control module using the previously removed screws.
5. Connect the cables to the digital Tele Aid control module:
a) GPS Antenna connector (E, Figure 2)
b) Antenna connector (D, Figure 2)
c) Power supply connector (C, Figure 2)
d) Power supply connector (B, Figure 2)
e) MOST connector (A, Figure 2)
NOTICE:
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"
NOTES:
- TeleAid version coding the Instrument Cluster and the Central Gateway (ZGW) control modules via Star Diagnosis is necessary.
- Version coding the head unit is necessary and has to be correctly set via Star Diagnosis: Tele Aid "Not Fitted" for CP TeleAid MY04, and "Fitted" for LCT TeleAid MY05/06
- The engine must be running for the Tele Aid defective warning to display in the Instrument Cluster.
- If during Service Call the operator reports he can not hear anything in the vehicle, the Voice Recognition control module (SBS) should be replaced, even if no error DTCs are detected in the SBS. The discrete micro bypass function to the TeleAid of this control module some times fails. The normal hands free telephone works fine though. Also discrete micro array should be checked.
D. Parts Information
NOTE: This installation, and any subsequent related installation and/or workmanship issues, cannot be claimed under warranty.
