be downloaded, not even newly-added con-
tacts.
Switching the display of contact details (privacy) on/off Using the
Hide Data Hide Data setting, you can decide
whether the phone and address book data are
to be visible on the screen. You can therefore, for example, prevent a passenger from seeing
the name of a caller.
Activating the function has the following
effects:
R The mobile phone's phone book and
address book data are hidden. They can
therefore not be used to make calls, send
text messages or to navigate.
You still have access to the phone book and
address book stored on COMAND.
R During incoming calls, the caller's name is
not displayed if there is an address book
entry for the number that is calling.
R During outgoing calls where the number is
entered manually, the recipient's name is
not displayed, even if there is an address
book entry for the entered number.
R The call list is hidden.
R Redialing is not possible.
R The received text messages list is hidden.
There is still a notification for incoming text messages. For this to be the case, the con-
nected mobile phone must support the
MAP profile. However, it is not possible
that, for example, the passenger could see the phone number or have access to the
message. Connecting a mobile phone (Y
