Bluetooth®audio mode
Connecting Bluetooth®audio devices
Prerequisites
XActivate the Bluetooth®function in the mul-
timedia system (Ypage 41).
Bluetooth
®audio mode requires a Bluetooth®-
capable audio device.
Check your Bluetooth
®audio device for the fol-
lowing (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions):
RBluetooth®audio profile
The Bluetooth®audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth®audio pro-
files.
RBluetooth®visibility
Certain Bluetooth®audio devices do not just
require activation of the Bluetooth®function.
In addition, your device must be made "visi-
ble" to other devices.
RBluetooth®device name
This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. For a clear selection of
the Bluetooth
®device, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you customize the device
name.
iA2DP ( Advanced Audio Distribution Profile):
Bluetooth®audio profile for audio data trans-
mission
AVRCP ( Audio Video Remote Control Profile):
Bluetooth
®audio profile for audio data play-
back
iThe Bluetooth®device must be visible for
authorization. After authorization, the multi-
media system even finds the Bluetooth
®
device when it is not visible.
General notes
Before using your Bluetooth®audio device with
the multimedia system for the first time, you will
need to authorize it.
When you authorize a new Bluetooth
®audio
device, it is connected automatically. Connec-
tion involves first searching for a Bluetooth
®
audio device and then authorizing it.
You can authorize up to 15 Bluetooth®devices.
iIf you authorize a mobile phone that sup-
ports Bluetooth®audio, the A2DP and AVRCP
Bluetooth®audio profiles are connected
automatically.
The mobile phone is then entered:
Rin the Bluetooth®telephone list
(Ypage 98)
Rin the Bluetooth®device list
(Ypage 162)

ized devices, whether they are within range or
not. After a device search, devices which are
within range but not authorized are also dis-
played.
iWith some Bluetooth®audio devices, play-
back must initially be started on the device
itself, so that the multimedia system can play
