tooth®profile, the call lists from the mobile
phone are displayed in COMAND.

If the contact for an incoming call is not saved
in the address book, you can use the call list
to save the telephone number. You can save
this telephone number as a new contact in the
address book or add it to an existing contact
(

iIf you connect a different mobile phone to
COMAND, the call lists from the new mobile
phone are displayed.
