files, the tracks can be organized in folders. A
folder may also contain subfolders. The disc
may contain no more than eight directory levels.
Files beyond the eighth level will not be recog-
nized by the system.
iThe multimedia system supports up to
50,000 files from one data medium. For data
media with more than 64 GB, only files in the
following folders are supported: Music, Pic-
tures, Video.
Track and file names
When you create a disc with compressed music
files, you can assign names to the tracks and
folders.

tory itself, the root directory will also be treated as a folder.

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

®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

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)
