Bluetooth®audio mode
Connecting Bluetooth®audio devices
Prerequisites
XActivate the Bluetooth®function in
COMAND (
Ypage 55).
Bluetooth
®audio mode requires a Blue-
tooth®-capable audio device.
Check your Bluetooth
®audio device for the
following (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions):
RBluetooth®audio profile
The Bluetooth
®audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth®audio
profiles.
RBluetooth®visibility
Certain Bluetooth
®audio devices do not
just require activation of the Bluetooth®
function. In addition, your device must be
made "visible" 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 transmission
AVRCP ( Audio Video Remote 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.
XThe Bluetooth®function in COMAND must
be activated (
Ypage 55).
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:
Rin the Bluetooth®telephone list
(
Ypage 142)
Rin the Bluetooth®device list
(
Ypage 229)
Mercedes-Benz recommends authorizing a
mobile phone in Bluetooth
®telephony
(
Ypage 142).
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.
