Therefore, only use mobile communication
equipment if it is connected to the exterior
aerial of the vehicle.
Introduction COMAND Online allows you to use two dif-
ferent modes of telephony:
R telephony via the Bluetooth ®
interface
(standard equipment):
R permanently installed/SAP telephony (only
in conjunction with a data-enabledMB
SAP module)
In telephony via Bluetooth ®
interface
mode, the mobile phone is connected directly
to COMAND Online via Bluetooth ®
.
Enhancing this operating mode with the
optional mobile phone bracket allows you to:
R connect the mobile phone to the exterior
aerial on the vehicle
R charge the mobile phone
In the permanently installed/SAP teleph-
ony mode, the optional data-enabledMB
SAP module is inserted into the fitting in the
armrest designed for housing the mobile
phone bracket.
When connecting Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile
phones with PBAP (Phone BookAccess
Profile), the contacts are automatically down-
loaded to COMAND Online.
If your mobile phone supports the MAP Blue-
tooth ®
profile (M essageAccess Profile),
COMAND Online can receive and display text messages.
