Operation with Bluetooth
®
audio
Preconditions for the Bluetooth ®
audio
device Bluetooth
®
audio mode requires a Blue-
tooth ®
-capable audio device. Observe the
information in the Bluetooth ®
audio device's
operating instructions.
Before using Bluetooth ®
audio mode, you
should check your Bluetooth ®
audio device
for the following:
R Bluetooth ®
audio profile
The Bluetooth ®
audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth ®
audio
profiles.
R Bluetooth ®
visibility
Certain Bluetooth ®
audio devices require
more than simply activating the Bluetooth ®
function. In addition, your device must be
made "visible" to other devices.
R Bluetooth ®
device name
This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. To make a clear selec-
tion of the Bluetooth ®
device possible,
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you cus-
tomise the device name.
i A2DP (
Advanced AudioDistribution
Profile): Bluetooth ®
audio profile for audio
data transmission
AVRCP (Audio VideoRemote Control
Profile): Bluetooth ®
audio profile for audio
data playback
i Not all Bluetooth ®
audio devices available
on the market are equally suitable.

Connecting Bluetooth ®
audio devices General notes
Before using your Bluetooth
®
audio device
with COMAND Online for the first time, you
will need to authorise it.
When you authorise a new Bluetooth ®
audio
device, it is connected automatically. Con-
nection involves first searching for a Blue-
tooth ®
audio device and then authorising it.
You can authorise up to fifteen Bluetooth ®
devices.
i If you authorise a mobile phone that sup-
ports Bluetooth ®
audio, the A2DP and
AVRCP Bluetooth ®
audio profiles are con-
nected automatically.
The mobile phone is then entered:
R in the Bluetooth ®
telephone list
(Y page 391)
R in the Bluetooth ®
