Remote controls for the audio system (Opel Astra H)

On models with the appropriate configuration, the main functions of the audio system can be controlled remotely from panels mounted in the steering wheel (see illustration 15.1). Illustration 19.5, to which all references in the text refer, shows two versions of remote control panels and the placement of controls on them.



Below is a description of the functions performed by each control.

Option A (on the left in the illustration)

Left Panel Roller Regulator (20)

When equipped with an infotainment system with a BID and GID information display, rotating the roller controller selects menu items, moves the cursor, and manually searches/tunes radio stations.

When controlling the on-board computer (see section 17) (for system with BID and GID displays) by pressing the left roller control you enter the computer menu and confirm the menu item selection. In addition, when the system is equipped with a BID monitor, holding the control down for approximately 2 seconds resets the selected trip computer parameter - holding the wheel down for approximately 4 seconds resets all trip computer parameters.

When you press this button:

• in radio playback mode, the receiver switches to the next preset radio station;
• in audio CD playback mode, disc playback starts from the first music track;
• in MP3 disc playback mode, you can move to the next album (catalog).

This button selects the audio system playback mode - each time you press it, the system will switch from radio playback mode to CD player mode and back.

When the system is equipped with the TIG information display, this button in the radio playback mode allows you to tune in to a radio station broadcasting on a higher frequency, and in the CD playback mode, to switch to the next recording. When the system is equipped with the GID display, the button (26) is used to move the cursor to the left or up.
