2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA-Class ECO mode

This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. To make a clear selec-
tion of the Bluetooth
®device possible, we
recommend that you customize the device
name.
iA2DP (Advanced AudioDistribution
Profile): Bluetooth®audio profile for audio
data transmission
AVRCP (Audio VideoRemote Control
Profile): Bluetooth
®audio profile for audio
data playback.
iThe Bluetooth®device must be visible for
authorization. After authorization,
COMAND even finds the Bluetooth
®device
when it is not visible.
General notes
Before using your Bluetooth®audio device
with COMAND for the first time, you will need
to authorize it.
When you authorize a new Bluetooth
®audio
device, it is connected automatically. Con-
nection involves first searching for a Blue-
tooth
®audio device and then authorizing it.
You can authorize up to fifteen Bluetooth
®
devices.
iIf you authorize a mobile phone that sup-
ports Bluetooth®audio, the A2DP and
AVRCP Bluetooth®audio profiles are con-
nected automatically.
The mobile phone is then entered:

Mercedes-Benz recommends authorizing a
mobile phone in Bluetooth
®telephony
(
Ypage 116).
iIf the mobile phone that is connected only
supports two Bluetooth®profiles at the
same time, COMAND functions may
behave as follows:
Rwhen connecting to the Internet, play-
back is stopped on the Bluetooth®audio
device.
Rwhen starting playback on the Blue-
tooth®audio device, the Internet con-
nection is ended.

With some Bluetooth®audio devices, play-
back must first be started on the device itself
so that COMAND can play the audio files.
Reconnecting a Bluetooth®audio
device
The Bluetooth®audio profiles are connected
automatically under the following circum-
stances:
Rone of the last two mobile phones to have
been connected has also been used as a
Bluetooth
®audio player (if this function is
supported by the mobile phone).
Rthe mobile phone is automatically connec-
ted. The Bluetooth®audio player is then
connected.
iFor an automatic connection with
COMAND, the telephone must be within
range.
For most Bluetooth
®audio devices, the
"automatic connection" must be activated
by checking a box. Depending on the
device used, this prompt often takes place
when authorizing (see the manufacturer's
operating instructions).
If the No Bluetooth Audio Device Con‐
nectedmessage appears, you have two
options to reconnect the Bluetooth®audio
device.
Option 1:
XTo select Connect Last Used Playerin

Selecting a track
The function is not supported by all Blue-
tooth®audio devices.
Some mobile phones impair function with
regard to the following criteria:
Rthe number of tracks that can be selected
Rthe time period until the next or previous
track is played
XSwitch the multifunction steering wheel to
the media menu (see the vehicle Operator's
Manual).
XTo skip forwards or backwards to a
track: press the 9or: button on
the multifunction steering wheel.
XRapid scroll: press and hold the 9
or : button on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel until the desired track is reached.
If you press and hold the 9or:
buttons, the rapid scrolling speed increa-
ses after a short time.
Further ways to select tracks (
Ypage 187).
iIn rapid scroll, track names are not
shown, but instead only Track 1, Track 2
etc. The playback times for the tracks
played are not displayed. This is available
as an optional function starting with AVRCP
Version 1.3. There is also no music search
option available with Bluetooth
®Audio.
Selecting playback options
If the Bluetooth®audio device supports the
corresponding function, the following options
are available:
RNormal Track Sequence: the tracks are
played in the normal order (e.g. track 1, 2, 3
etc.).
Audio data playback is determined by the
order in which the tracks are written to the
data medium. Alphabetical order is the
most common. Once all the tracks in a
folder have been played, the tracks in the
next folder are played.
RRandomTrackList: the current track list
is played in random order (e.g. 3, 8, 5 etc.).
RRandom Medium: all tracks on the data
medium are played in random order (e.g.
track 3, 8, 5 etc.).
Playback options are optional functions
and are not, or only partially, supported by
Bluetooth
®audio devices.

General notes
Notes on discs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage COMAND.
Stickers can cause the disc to bend, which
can result in read errors and disc recogni-
tion problems.
!COMAND is designed to play discs that
comply with the EN 60908 standard. There- fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-
mum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that
contain data on both sides (DVD on one
side and audio data on the other), they can-
not be ejected and can damage the device.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of
8 cm, even with an adapter.
The variety of data media, burners and burn
software means there is no guarantee that
the system will be able to play discs that you
have copied yourself.
DVD playback conditions
If video DVDs do not conform to the NTSC or
PAL TV standards, they may create picture,
sound or other problems during playback.
COMAND is capable of playing back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
RRegion code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
RPAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
iIf you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, a message to this effect
appears.
iCOMAND is set to region code 1 at the
factory. This setting can be changed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. It is also
possible to play video DVDs with a different
region code, provided that they are pro-
duced in accordance with the PAL or NTSC
TV standard. The region code can be
changed a maximum of four times.
Control options
There are various control menus available in
DVD video mode.
Most DVDs have their own control menu.
The DVD's control menu is operated directly
using the controller or DVD functions.
