Call Lists
i COMAND supports Bluetooth ®
PBAP
(Phone Book Access Profile).
How COMAND handles call lists depends
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 ®
phone without PBAP support:
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.
i The menu item Call lists is not active
if no mobile phone is connected to
COMAND.
i If the mobile phone does not support
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 =, ; ,
9 , : , a , 6 or ~ buttons,
for selecting a menu, scrolling through lists
or initiating or ending a call ( Y page 25).
