Call Lists
i COMAND supports Bluetooth ®

on the type of mobile phone connected:
R Bluetooth ®
phone with PBAP support:
COMAND downloads the call lists from
the mobile phone when the phone is
connected to COMAND
R Bluetooth ®

COMAND creates the call lists from calls
received (including missed calls) and
made during phone mode when a mobile
phone is connected to COMAND.
The particular menu item can only be
selected if calls have already been received
or made from COMAND.
The display of missed calls in the COMAND
display is not possible with all mobile
phones.

PBAP, COMAND automatically deletes the
call lists if a mobile phone other than the
last used is connected.
i The instrument cluster control system
displays a list of the last dialed calls.
i For many operating functions you can
also use the buttons on the multifunction
steering wheel, e.g. the =, ; ,
