Mobile phone system*
68Mobile phone system*IntroductionA mobile phone can be connected to the on-board phone
system and operated via the navigation system, the multi-
function steering wheel*, the telephone speech control
system* or the speech dialogue system*.The mobile phone adapter is located either on the centre console or in the
centre armrest. A special mobile phone adapter ⇒page 69 is needed in
order to connect your mobile phone to this adapter. Mobile phone adapters
are available from your Dealer or specialist retailers.
You can then operate your mobile phone using the navigation system, the
multi-function steering wheel* ⇒page 12 or the speech dialogue system*
⇒ page 86. You can also use the talk button * on the mobile phone
adapter to answer and end a call.
When your mobile phone is in the mobile phone adapter, call signals are sent
and received via the external car aerial. This ensures good transmission
quality and keeps the mobile phone battery charged.
