Block diagram of COMAND system with CD changer, illustrated with the following equipment:

- Sound system (code 810)

The marked components are the components which are used primarily for operation of the CD changer.

The CD changer (A2/6) is controlled on the COMAND operating, display and control module (A40/3) via the digital data bus (D2B). The audio signals from the CD changer are also transferred on the D28 bus and amplified by A40/3; on vehicles with sound system the signals are amplified by the sound amplifier (A2/13). Acoustic output is accomplished by the vehicle loudspeaker system.

Only 12 cm CD's may be used; 8 cm CD adapters are not permissible.

The COMAND CD changer system offers the following features:
- Scan feature
The titles on one CD or the first title of the CD's in the entire magazine are played for 8 seconds. After completely running through the titles the scan feature is terminated automatically.

- Random feature
All titles on a CD or in the entire CD magazine are played according to the random principle.

- Repeat feature
A repeat option is available for one title or one CD or the entire CD magazine.

- Fast forward/reverse (music search)
During fast forward/reverse the music can be heard so that it is possible to play or skip certain sections of a title.

CD title assignment feature
Each CD is assigned a permanently stored so-called table of contents (TOC) entry. This allows the COMAND system to clearly recognize each CD and automatically assign it a name once the user has given it a title (even when the CD is then inserted in another CD magazine).
The TOC entry also contains information on the number of titles on a CD and the total CD playing time.
