Using the phone book and address
book
The COMAND phone book is an extract of
those entries from the address book which
contain at least one telephone number.
The address book organizes and stores
entries which are entered from different
sources (mobile phone, SD memory card,
Bluetooth® import, COMAND phone book,
navigation). You can use these entries for
making telephone calls, for navigation and for
writing text messages.
Importing contacts automatically
If a mobile phone is connected with COMAND
via the Bluetooth® interface, the contacts
(phone book entries) of the corresponding
mobile phone are automatically imported into
the phone book in COMAND.

Depending on the mobile phone, this process
may take some time. Depending on the
mobile phone used, only the phone book
entries in the mobile phone or these entries
and the phone book entries in the SIM card
