Function sequence for route guidance through voice outputs
The navigation processor of the COMAND operating, display and controller unit links the word segments during a voice output to form complete instructions or information and generates voice signals.

If required, the speech signals are forwarded over the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) to the sound system amplifier (N40/3) (with code (810) Sound system) where they are amplified and output to the following speakers over discrete lines:
- Left door speaker group (H4/1)
- Right door speaker group (H4/2)
- Center cockpit speaker (centerfill) (H4/27)

On vehicles except code (810) Sound system, the voice signals are amplified in the COMAND operating, display and controller unit and output via discrete lines directly at the following speakers:
- Left door speaker group
- Right door speaker group
