from a PC) that support the sending of vCards
via Bluetooth ®
. It is not necessary to authorize the device in
COMAND to do so.
Please bear the following in mind:
R Bluetooth ®
must be activated in COMAND
and on the Bluetooth ®
device; see the oper-
ating instructions for the device.
R the Bluetooth ®
device must be able to send
vCards via Bluetooth ®
(see operating
instructions for the device).
R the Bluetooth ®
device in the vehicle must
be switched on.

00BBsymbol.
The following conditions must be fulfilled in
order to import vCards:
R vCards (vcf files) may be located in the main
directory or in folders. COMAND allows you
to select the relevant folders directly.

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

need Internet access data for the connected
mobile phone. You can obtain this from your
mobile phone network provider.
A selected/manually set mobile phone net-
work provider is only valid for the mobile
phone connected when the selection/setting
is made. The mobile phone network provider
is set automatically upon reconnection.

ferent country and using the online and
Internet functions on COMAND, you may
incur additional costs (roaming fees).
i While initializing the mobile phone for the
Internet connection, access data which is
already on the mobile phone may be over-
written. You should therefore check the
settings on the mobile phone (see the
mobile phone operating instructions).
